Nikon is coming out with new scanners soon, though I don't know if they are
on the market yet:
"A New Generation of Nikon Coolscan® Film Scanners:
The Coolscan IV ED, Super Coolscan 4000 ED and Super Coolscan 8000 ED"

Subject: State of the art consumer film scanners?
| I'm in the market to buy a new film scanner in the next month (I'm giving
my
| S20 to my father so he scan 50 years of family photographs and annotate
them
| as a digital legacy to all his descendants).
|
| My upcoming bonus at work should be nice enough to afford something better
| than an S20.
|
| What do people recommend?
|
| I've found this site with some comparisons:
| http://www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN1.HTM
|
| Here the Polaroid 4000 is compared to an S20 and LS2000, and at 4000 DPi,
| comes out well:
| http://www.users.qwest.net/~rnclark/scandetail.htm
|
| Is the Polaroid the best in consumer level film scanners these days? Are
| there any new generation models coming out in the next few months that
might
| be worth waiting for?
|
| The Polaroid SprintScan 120 looks pretty amazing (but have to wait until
| April 2001 for it):

| Thanks,
| Gerald
