To me, it looks like filmscanner has an edge wrt. tonality and lattitude. Sharpness-wise, they look pretty close.
BTW, I have been trying to get Nikon 9000 for almost six months now. It seems to be permanently on back-order (at Amazon, BH and Adorama). At this point I have decided that my lifespan is not infinite and cancelled the open order. Will go with Epson 4870 instead (although there're rumors of 4990 coming "some time real soon"). Best, Mishka
