Or would the quality of the Jessops cheapie be sufficient? I will also be using the scanner for 35mm film negative scanning, does this require the better quality scanner... I bought the 1800i a couple of years back and have been very pleased with the results. Scans result in a 8 megapixel image which is quite adequate for printing. Something's wrong with your math here. 1800 dpi can't get 8 megapixels from a 35 mm frame. A 35 mm frame is approx 1.5 square inches, which would be 4.86 Mpixels at 1800 dpi. FWIW, I started out in film scanning with a Microtek 35t+, which was 1950 dpi -- and from that I got images a little over 5 Mpixels. My 'primitive' HP S20 scanned a mid-50s Kodachrome® 35mm slide at 2400dpi and saved it at 2221 x 3275 and as *TIFF at 20.8*MB; Photo Shop saved it as a biggest-possible *JPEG at 8.39*MB That included enough in the frame you could see all the fuzz from the cardboard mount trailing into the image, and the round corners. -- Frank ess "Because of the Swiss Cheese nature of everyone's life experience and education, the Whoosh Bird can drop a load on anyone's head, without warning." -Albrecht Einstein |
