Re: Nikon IV or Cannon FS4000

[Neal Vickers <vickersn@xxxxxxxxx>]

You are correct, I suppose I want the best dynamic
range, but I was even more looking for peoples
opinions. I was hoping for folks who have upgraded
from a 2710 or 2720 and if they were that much happier
with another scanner. I had a Minolta Scan Dual II and
it did a great job on slides, but I had many other
problems with it. It would put thin red or green lines
in the third or fouth scan of a batch, I never got a
decent scan from Kodak VPS film, even with Vuescan, it
did a lot of grinding, and transporting the film back
and forth through the scanner, and having the film
horizontal through scanning meant all kinds of dust
and dirt would land on the film and also I guess the
light souce. I sent it back to Minolta, they said
nothing was wrong with it, and when I got it back it
continued to have the same problems. It must have been
my set up? 

I don't think the other higher priced, more dpi,
scanners are going to give me that much better results
either. I'll try some of the suggestions I've gotten
from here too. Thanks to all who have replied. If I
accidently learn anything along the way, I'll pass it 
along.
