I wonder if there is anyone who has experience of the Sprintscan 120 from
Polaroid? In particular, how does it compare with Nikon 8000 ED?
Are there any pitfalls about attaching this scanner to a fairly normal PC?

Thanks Lawrence
Thats not good if big enlargements are required and I don't think that I
could put up with that. Ill contact Nikon (Maxwells) now and see if they
have come up with a fix or intend to come up with a fix.
Should be interesting. Ill post there reply.

I have an 8000 and I've had banding on maybe half a dozen images out of
hundreds scanned

It will also hurt used sales of these...or create bargains for people who
don't mind living with the defect. What a shame.
