I received my Expression 1680 Pro yesterday. I was suprised when UPS carried it to my desk... What a big and heavy box! I had a little time in the evening (just 1 hour) and installed the scanner to my computer, using USB. The installation was super fast and easy and I had some time left to make a couple of test scans. I can hardly believe the color, dynamic range and the sharpness of the scans from this scanner. I am truly amazed ! I tried a couple of 6x9cm sunset and after sunset slide originals which have previously been a pain with my old Perfection 1200. The results from the new scanner blow the old scans away. Amazing detail (sharpness) in the shadows and beautiful highlights (dymanics) ! My wife suprised me too. She immediately understood my need for the new scanner when I showed her the different results of the same slide (new and old scan) :-) I had been a bit afraid of what she would say ...
