Thanks to those who have replied so far. Not sure that the person who posed the question would be willing or able to set up a copy stand with bellows and copy lens, have access to an interchangeable lens digital camera, etc. I'm waiting for him to get back to me. Bob, some things I noticed about the 8800 vs the 4400: The 4400 doesn't seem able to scan film larger than 35mm, is this correct? That would be a deal breaker for me, but I'm not sure about the person this is in aid of. The 8800 uses white LED light and the 4400 uses fluorescent and draws a lot more power on standby (1.5 Watts for the 8800 vs 4 Watts w/ the 4400)--that's money going down the drain for no good reason.

When I went to buy it the sales person, (www.bpav.com is about 2 miles from my house) and I talked about it and decided that the 4400F would do just as well for about half the price. I have scanned, text documents, photos, and slides. The software that comes with it does a lot. You can get pdf files when scanning documents. |
