VueScan and ScanMaker 5
Does anyone have a Microtek ScanMaker 5 that they can do a test with? I've gotten a report that VueScan 6.1 works with the ScanMaker 5 in 24-bit mode, but not in 48-bit mode, but the person who did the test is away for a week. It would be helpful if someone with one of these scanners could turn on "Options|Output log file", do a 25-pixel wide scan, and then e-mail the vuescan.log file to me. (25 pixels is needed because the log file only holds the first 256 bytes of each scsi command).

I think I can be fairly unbiased about scanners, since VueScan supports both the Scan Dual II and the FS2710. I wouldn't say that the FS2710 is a bad scanner, but rather that the Scan Dual II is an excellent scanner. In addition, has a big advantage in that it can batch scan a 6 frame negative or 4 slides, while the FS2710 needs to be manually repositioned for each scan. Both are 12 bit scanners, and both have pretty good color fidelity.

Re: Canoscan FS2710

ICE is another way of saying "has an infrared channel and uses the ICE algorithm to remove dust using this infrared channel". The FS2710 doesn't have an infrared channel. Is it the same in every scanner? Meaning if a scanner has ICE, is it universal in what it does? The infrared channel on the Minolta Scan Elite is slightly different from the infrared channel on the Nikon scanners. On the Scan Elite, it appears to add the infrared diode's signal on top of the normal light from the xenon bulb, while on the Nikon scanners, it pulses four colored diodes on and off in order (red, green, blue, and infrared diodes).
