The fact they are discontinued means that the price
should be much more favorable on eBay whee I bought mine. Older
items still can have a lot of value. I am sorry I am going
through this thread very quickly right now but an earlier poster
reminded me of an important point. If you have shot almost
entirely digital and only occasionally encounter film the camera
approach makes sense. But I shot film for over 40 years and have
large collections to digitize. I like scanner better even if it
does take a bit longer. I think the results are better if you use
the right software i.e. Vuescan. Don On 1/3/11 3:35 PM, David Dyer-Bennet wrote: On Mon, January 3, 2011 15:01, Herschel Mair wrote:This is an important caveat. The Nikon Pro scanners scan at 9000 DPI this means that a 35mm slide will yield an image in excess of 100 mega pixels.The Coolscan 5000ED scans at 4000DPI max. And has been discontinued. The Coolscan 9000 ED medium-format unit is also 4000DPI (according to the Nikonusa.com web site product archive). And it has now also been discontinued (that's a change since I last looked). Basically, nobody is making a pro-level desktop scanner any more. |
