Sorry, I should have made it clearer - from what I have read the Nikons
(2000 and 4000) have more noise than the SS4000.  I expect  (hope?) that
either Polaroid or Minolta will come out with a scanner that does what I
want in the near future.  Minolta just announced a medium format scanner
that has everything, when will they do 35 mm version?  I am willing to wait
another 6 months and see what appears.  That will give my credit card time
to recover after upgrading my computer system this month.  If nothing else
appears then I will reconsider the Nikon.
