Key thing in a lot of specs is the dynamic range. A lot of the earlier scanners were 3.6 and below which would not always capture the full range of a negative or slide. Right now 4.2 seems to be the best and according to something I read this is right about the range of slide film I think. I think this is more important than the difference between a 2400dpi and a 2800dpi scanner by far. Some of the 4000+dpi scanners are getting down in price these days also. Kent Gittings

On the subject of scanners. Does anyone have any experience with the Canoscan FS2720U or FS2710. I am new to this list (as well as new to digital scanning), so if this has recently been discussed I apologize. I plan on scanning mostly color slides and some color negs. I think I have narrowed it down to the following: 1. FS2720 2. HP S20 3. Minolta Dual Image II Right now I'm leaning toward the Canon. Thoughts comments help appreciated. -- Thanks, Michael ========================================================== Michael Beacom http://www.optimumdata.com/?sid=4 Optimum Data Inc. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 5018 Leavenworth St. Voice: +1 877 312 6517 Omaha, NE 68106 FAX: +1 402 575 2011 Aaron Reynolds wrote: > > On Wednesday, November 28, 2001, at 04:16 AM, Cotty wrote: > > > without the plastic > > feel the Sprintscan had, > > I was stunned at the difference in build quality between the SprintScan > 4000 and the SprintScan 120.
