Re: OT: scanning info for list photographers



Yes, I'm keeping an eye on the 1600, too; but I'm hearing
hints that the 1200 may be just as good as the 1600,
because, according to 3rd hand info, of the way the CCD's
are arrayed. I also have recently read of some testing
comparing the 600 spi Epson 636 to the 1200. The results
indicate that the 1200 results in only marginally higher
resolution scans, not double, not even close.

I have a feeling that this is one of those areas where we
won't be happy until we break down and spend very serious
money on a higher end film scanner of some sort.
