from B&H Photo Summary: I was rather impressed with the quality of the scans and the software that was provided. The ICE feature that removes dust and blemishes from the scanned slide does remarkably well. The other features such as ROC, GEM and DEE I haven't had much a need for, so I can't comment on them.
It scans mounted slides and negatives at 4000dpi and they look great. The unit is very easy to use, compact, quiet, and I had no problems installing the software.
The software provided is just fine for an intermediate amatuer. Lots of ways to manipulate and tweak the final image to meet your needs.
The only annoying thing I've come across is that the entire mounted slide cannot be scanned. We're talking about a very small amount, but still I'd rather have to crop an image than loose part of it. It can't quite see the outter most edges and with the type of photogrpahy I'm interested in (particularly, lightning shots) I can't always control what area of the slide the lightning will be present. So, it'd be nice if I didn't have to rotate and re-scan the slide to maximize the area of interest on my slide. Strengths: Fast scanning times
Small compact design
4000dpi Weaknesses: Doesn't quite scan the whole mounted slide Customer Service: Haven't needed to call them yet.
