Re: Nikon IV or Cannon FS4000

Art, if the polaroid lens is not as sharp as the canon, that would be
the reason the main subject, the brick wall wasn't as sharp as the canon
lens in the canon scanner. THe image was a brick wall cross lit by the
sun, a VERY sharp situation for showing what a good lens can do.

For me, I just didn't like the way it worked. With the canon, when I
scan a slide or negative, it takes about 5 minutes in the preview scan
to correct all the things that need correcting. The prescan is usually
very accurate as far as color goes, and not too much is needed in
photoshop. Negatives take longer. BUt this isn't my complaint with the
polaroid. I can do all that in photoshop. I was ONLY interested in a
sharper image than I was getting with the canon, which is pretty darn
good, I'm finding out.
