I haven't seen significant grain with my 5400, at least scanning fine grain film. Make sure you're using the grain dissolver. As for the color, I recommend getting Vuescan for your scanning software and use it to generate a scanner profile. Vuescan has worked much better for me than the manufacturer's lousy software with both the 5400 and LS5000, . I generally have to tweak the color a tad from the Vuescan profile, but no more than 0.1 usually. You need IT8 transparency targets to do this, available from Kodak, or Wolf Faust at http://www.coloraid.de/. You can get Vuescan at http://www.hamrick.com.
BTW, on a slightly different topic, Vuescan now functions in "scan from preview" mode on the LS5000, as of version 8.04. Thanks for the tip, Tony.
