Hi David
What didn't your friend like about the Nikon scanner? Which
Nikon scanner(s) did he use? What did he like better about
the Minolta?
I've got no problem with huge files the bigger the
better, IMO, as long as I can make small files for
cataloging or proofs as well.

Shel,
Each brand has its detractors and within each brand, a few junkers make it
out the door. It's safest to buy new
Hi Mark ...
I got another computer, lotsa memory, faster processor, two
hard drives, and I replaced the mouse on the email machine.
;-)) I'll add a little more memory to the new machine, and
I should be fine.

Thanks, Tiger ...
Ice is not that important to me, although I've seen it in
action on some color scans and it's a nice feature to have.
What's an interface card?

The Firewire interface card came with my 4000ED when I bought it about a
year ago.

Absolutely ... while not strictly a financial investment,
it's a tool, one that should give years of good service.

If I am correct, Minolta 5400 is cheaper than Nikon 4000. However, you need

gives great scans, includes ICE which

Shel,
The two top brands for home users in my opinion are the Minolta Dimage
series and the Nikons.
I've owned both. They both have nice twain interfaces, and both have option
that includes interface cards.
You want something faster than USB 1.0, becuase a hi-res scan can produce
30+ megabyte

I have once scanned BW with the nikon but not to very good effect. However the
negative was very thin as I'd used some old chemicals to process it, something I don't
do very often as I almost exclusively use Fuji Velvia or Sensia 200 slide film.
Best get the answer to this one from someone more
