| Somehow the story sounds very familiar...
Some two years ago I bought the CanoScan 8600.
You can get pretty decent results with it, but eventually I did get fed up with it.
In terms of resolution it is capable of making very big files, but in reality the performance is limited by its optical resolution. Choosing one of the bigger file sizes does not improve image quality at all.
I ended up buying a Nikon CoolScan V. Nowadays I use the CanoScan for scanning larger-size originals only.
In addition to image quality, the way the Nikon deals with dust and scratches is way superior to the CanoScan. This saves a lot of time.
After all, it comes down to what you require from the scanner. |
