2002-09-02 Thread Ken Durling
I'm curious if there are list members who made the step to upgrade from the FS2710 and to what. I'm overall quite pleased with the 2710, and feel that I've put in a lot of time learning how to get the most from it. I'm sure others probably experienced the same thing. I'm interested to know

Ok - my ever reliable Canon FS2710 seems to have developed a hardware problem and Im wondering if the cost of fixing etc is worth it. Ive only done about 1500 scans with it. Basically it powers up ok, and passes diagnostics in the CanoScan software, Vuescan recognises it, and does calibration
