And a lot of classic camera gear holds its value more than consumer grade digicams...
Don't get me wrong, I like new toys as much as anyone else and have been eyeing up
each generation of digicams that come out but nothing yet has the right mix of
compactness, quality and value to mak me bite.

in the scan like the frame edge, what would really be good would be a bit of software
which took each row (in a 16 bit raw gamma 1 file) and set black point. I know the
scanner calibration process should do this but, from the problems some Scanwit and
Minolta owners have had, the scanner calibration and/or software just ain't cutting
the
mustard!

David,
There seem to be relatively few Polaroid stockists in the UK and all the advertised
prices seem to be very high compared with the current USA prices. Are the UK (or
general European prices) likely to fall?

they are pretty close and at a much lower cost. I'd be very surprised if they didn't
resolve detail way above the 2700ppi limit of your LS-30. Maybe someone on the list

casing looks pretty similar to the Dual II (which has

reports of varying CCD quality and performance) and has the same optical resolution
so it will be interesting to see the degree to which the internal components have been
uprated.

Would this be a SS4000 specific feature? The other scanners which can only do multi-

well.
