Interesting article, but I start to question it when I read:

<quote>
In all our prior film scanner reviews, the highest resolution we'd 
encountered was about 2800 dpi. Since film grain was fairly evident at that 
resolution, we felt there was little purpose in going to even higher 
resolutions, since we reasoned that would emphasize film grain even further.

Eeek.  I thought grain-aliasing and film resolution was covered in either 
lesson 1 or 2 when you do Filmscanning 101..! :)  And they haven't 
encountered 4000 dpi before...????

Maybe the full review will be better..
