Price, simplicity, with good film it makes good scans. DON'T use it to save "not so good" shots. Good optics.

Small dynamic range, HP6300 flatbed scanner with dias adapter is better.

Lousy SW, will only work on W3.11, W95, W98 Not NT,2000.

NO new SWversions available.

New film definitions would also be nice.

Cheap, good at the price.

I still recommend against, you will too soon find the weaknesses and want smoething better.

Customer Service

Incompetent, understood problem with SW, but had NO solution, some new version could be coming! ??

Easy to use, has adapter for APS film
Good quality

Will not work on Windows ME

Very upset with Olympus for not supporting this product with Windows ME. Including the APS adapter I just spent over $500 for this product that they have no intensions of supporting with the new operating systems.

Quick preview. Cheap.

Awful software. The curve-based corrections are very difficult to use. Poor negative film profiles. Transparency scans all have a magenta cast. Sharp diagonal lines separate into green/magenta bars at all but highest resolution. No ICM profile. Hopeless with saturated yellows.

Judging by the other reviews, maybe mine has a fault. It's very slow and frustrating to use, TWAIN compatibility with popular software is suspect, and the results are not that good anyway. It will take many lifetimes to do all the scans I want with this machine!

Customer Service

OK for simple queries. Had a problem with TWAIN compatibility which they never came back on. UK telecom carrier always cuts off the call before they answer, so e-mail only!
