Re: nikon 8000 or polaroid 120



A-hem...

The company you like more?

If your preference is toward having an IR cleaning system and you are 
mainly scanning color films, you will probably prefer the LS-8000.
If you scan a lot of real B&W film, you will be spending more time doing 
spotting because dICE doesn't work on silver based B&W films and the 
Nikon will tend to emphasize dust and dirt more, which normally you can 
remove via dICE.

The SS120 tends toward diminishing the appearance of dust and dirt on 
the film, but you will be doing more spotting because it doesn't have 
dICE, and it cannot fix fungus or major scratching problems, but it 
treats both B&W and color films equally in this area. Also, you don't 
need to deal with glass carriers with the SS120 because it offers 
greater DOF than the Nikon.

As to which company will provide greater customer support, that's an 
unknown until Polaroid's scanner division is sold, which should be 
happening shortly.  In the past, I think most people would agree 
Polaroid provided better customer support.
