Once it's running it's generally fine for me. The long startup time

One of the things I'm inspecting carefully is colour depth. I've got a
slide of a red geranium (on Velvia) that I cannot get a decent scan of
with the Craposcan. It looks indescribably dull and if I try to boost the
saturation, the image just goes a sort of wierd fluorescent hue before it

I upgraded from 1Gb to 3Gb. I've found that any more than about 2Gb may
be pointless anyway. Photoshop CS and CS2 don't behave well when they're
using more than about 1Gb... I tend to leave a lot of apps open in the
background which is unlikely to help.

Yes, film scanner have been falling in price quite a bit. I have a
Polaroid SS4000, and except for Polaroid going out of business, I
recommend it. It can be had for about $500, I think, and it comes with
Silverfast.
Now, since you have a 67, you might want to look into a scanner that
can do both.
I don't know if prices will fall more sharply in the near future, but I'd
guess that the new crop of 4000 dpi scanners that have come out recently
have had their impact on the prices of the 2400 dpi models. The Scan Elite
