>Has anyone had any experience with this new 4000dpi scanner fron Canon? I was on my way to purchase the Nikon LS-40 (IV-ED in the U.S I >think) and got roped in by another dealer to look at the new Canon unit and the Polaroid 4000, which is on sale at half price here.

More detailed reviews, but only for older scanners, you can find at http://www.cix.co.uk/~tsphoto/tech/filmscan/menu.htm I think you should make a list with the features you absolutely require like APS film compatibility, interface, image correction. Then check the speed and scan results (I suggest to look first at Kodak's "Q60" color target, you'll find on both sites). As for me, after this steps I end up buying the Acer ScanWit 2720S and I'm very happy with it. Another thing! Be sure you go to http://www.hamrick.com/ and check his amazing VueScan software. Scans made with the scanner software are horrible compared with VueScan results. Just check for yourself.
