Dave, http://www.virtualtraveller.org/epson2450.htm is a link to a review done by some guy :-)
If you're in the Toronto area, Greytech Computers carries the 2450 for $559 and Vistek carries it for $699 ( http://www.vistek.ca/digital/digdetail.asp?SKU=204199 ) Cheers, Dave Original Message: ----------------- From: David Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2002 09:53:27 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OT: New Epson scanners - Why the 1650 ?

I'm just curious, why the 1650 ? for about $200 CDN more you can have the 2450 Perfection which offers higher res (2400x4800), the ability to scan MF transparancies up to 4"x9" and it uses Firewire. I realise outside of those differences there, the scanners are about the same, but I'm just curious why the 1650 is chosen more often than the 2450.

Great news! I have gotten good reports about the 1680 and was a bit puzzled why you did not get the same results. Do you use the Epson's own Twain or the fantastic Silverfast 5 ? This is also the first report of 1680 with XP. I will be using Win2K... I did order my 1680 Pro yesterday, so I am even more happy now ;-) I'll be scanning mostly 6x9cm and 4x5" slides and those occasional 35mm...
