One of my fellow horsey photog's runs a Nikon D1 and has switched to the Cannon 8200 from his Kodak model?? I have to say the print quality of the cannon is very good and not very expensive.I like th seperate colour packets as oposed to the single cartridge in my Cannon 4300 Dave Sign up today for your Free E-mail at: http://www.canoe.ca/CanoeMail - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

This may have already been said... Also, it's my general opinion... Most film scanning attachments on flat-beds are more afterthoughts than anything else, and have no where near the same level of engineering involved.

If you are scanning from 35mm, 1200dpi is not nearly enough. It'll get you to 5x7 with acceptable results, but not much above that. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Actually peoples, one more thing, before I hit the hay. I just discovered that the HP Photo S20 scanner lists in its specs that while it has a scanning resolution of 2400dpi for negs, it only has 36-bit colour depth as compared with the 1200x1200dpi scanning resolution and 42-bit colour depth of the CanoScan D660U. Does anybody have enough technical knowledge to be able to compare the differences that the 36-bit vs 42-bit would offer? How does 1200x1200 dpi compare with a res. which is listed just as 2400dpi? Phew, I am gonna be a scanner guru when I get through all of this fairy. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.

To all who have replied so far, just wanted to keep you posted. I am really thinking that I will be going for the Epson Stylus Photo 1290 for the printer. I just can't get past some of the great comments I have seen, and the idea of being able to put an A3 sized print on my wall that I have created of my kids, really gets me there...Oh, yeah, that's right this stuff is supposed to be for business - so I'll rephrase that last comment; the idea of being able to put an A3 sized print in my portfolio of a portrait I have shot etc For the scanner, I am really trying to decide if a full on neg scanner is worth it for me. The CanoScan D660U is just so hard to go past at only $275 and I can't see me needing any more than the 1200x1200 dpi res. that it offers. A new alternative that I am considering though is the HP Photo S20 (2400dpi) that I just discovered before reading a post from another PDML'er recommending it to me. I can get one for around au$800, so when compared with the CanoScan FS2710s (2720 dpi) at $1350, it is a pretty hot contender. Ok, so thankyou for all of your replies thus far. Already, there have been too many on and off list for me to reply individually, so I will just post regularly to keep you all updated on how my research is progressing in relation to your responses. Thanks again, now I'm off to sleep, it's after 1am here fairy. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
