Pal, You're probably thinking of the Scan Dual II and the Scan Elite II. If that is the case, the Scan Dual II is an older model. I've got the Minolta Dimage Scan Elite II and it's a very good machine. DPI of 2820 and ICE, ROC and GEM all included in the kit. Batch scanning of slides (mounted) and film strips is a big plus. Works just fine with VueScan and the Minolta software isn't half bad either.
Up to 16x oversampling which is a plus if you don't mind waiting 1/2 hour or longer for one scan - I rarely go above 2x sampling. I believe the Scan Dual II has roughly the same DPI but does not have the ICE, ROC or GEM capability.

How about the Nikon LS-40 and the Minolta Dimage scan Dual II and Dimage dual scan III (the two Minolta scanners cost the same - whats the difference between them?)? How do these scanners compare to the Nikon LS-4000 (too expensive). Will they give credit for the Epson 2100 (2200 US) printer? Plan of using the new 3200DPI Epson flatbed scanner for MF.
