I have a Canon D2400UF and it's quite good. It's also easy to use and doubles as an excellent flatbed. Overall a good investment. However, a digital camera like the 10d just makes things so much more fun and easy, with excellent results. I always hated scanning, getting film processed, etc. Not to mention I take more shots now with digital and that makes a huge difference. I imagine the 8000F is even better.
