Bob,
I have the FS2710 and unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't use a square CCD chip
to scan the slide, but a line that the slide passes over. I could be wrong,
but I think it works like a smaller but finer version of a flat bed with a
track that rolls the slide over the scanner. I know it doesn't just take a
snap of the slide.
Cheers, JD

This got me to thinking 'What is the size of the chip in my Canon FS2710
film scanner?'. Without checking the specs, would this chip not be adaptable
tp an EOS body? Where if I scan a full frame 35mm negative/slide it gives me
a file size of circa 29Mb, why can't the camera manufacturers incorporate
this type of chip in the bodies?
This 29Mb file, when saved from PS6 at maximum jpg res, comes down to 9.3Mb.
