It is very interesting how these two threads, this one regarding the digital/film comparisons regarding the newest Canon digital camera, and the other thread regarding "over resolving scans" have independently come to the same issues, those of aliasing and grain. I hope people who have been readi

I don't believe anyone is using sputtered gold anymore, it simply is just too costly, and very few people would be willing to pay for it. There are probably three issues with CD-Rs, and I would place them in this order: (assuming general QC was done during manufacturing to begin with -- I've seen

Hi Stan, I suppose I could, but I'm much more a 'big picture' guy. I'm sure there are others on this list who live for these details and can provide you with all the fine details, but I'd have to look them up. What's most important IMHO, is that there is an understanding of what happens when a

Hi Jamie, It appears I'm in error here. I went to the European site which has the newest software/firmware upgrades for the Elite F-2900 and Elite II as well as the other Pro and Dual scanners. The latest version is indeed the one you have (DSE104e.exe), which I assumed was a full upgrade as th

DMA means "Direct Memory Access", and if implemented properly, can speed data transfers, simply because it doesn't read the data from one place, store it, then write it out to some place else. What DMA does, is directly transfer the data between the two devices without any intermediate storing o

A month or so ago I upgraded from Windows 98SE to ME in order to get better IEEE 1394 (Firewire) support. My Cannon FS 2710 stopped working following the upgrade: the scanner is simply not found, either by the Cannon software or by Viewscan. The SCSI card is visible to Windows and the scanner r
