Funny this should come up now, but I just got my Super Coolscan 4000 up and running (after sitting in the box for over a year). The hardest part was installing the correct software for the operating system. I've scanned 40 Velvia slides and am totally happy with the results. These were all well exposed images, so all I am doing in the scan is auto focus, minimal crop and I get just great 54mb files. It can't get any easier!
