Gee,
I was thinking about this scanner for a future purchase. Thanks for the
warning. That does beg the question of batch scanning. My Minolta Scan
Dual 2 does up to 6 frames, but you have to put the strip into a carrier
that isn't tight enough to hold the film still so the film will creep

Actually, the RFS3600 requires a prescan of every image, up to 36 per strip.
But once again this is batched and takes about 20 seconds per frame, so 15
minutes later, it is ready to do the final 1.5 hours of scanning (if it
finishes without crashing). So really, it two batches for the RFS3600.
The Photosmart V2 (USB) that I had did work better in ways, and with the
right registry tweaks gave me workable 36 bit scans to edit. But I always
thought mine was somewhat soft. Comparatively, when the RFS3600 gets it
right (focus wise), the results are pretty darn good (ref. the images I
poste
The short answer is "no". The long answer is: it can, but isn't necessary.
Here's what I would have done differently in that situation: manual focus
(since girls were fairly far way in a group), smaller aperture (more
dependence on flash's light to freeze action and light image and allow

I used to have the S20. Worked reasonably well until the motor started
getting uneven. It finally wouldn't scan evenly at all. Of course, it was
out of warranty by then. I sure got some goofy looking scans near the end.
People stretched all over - looked like mirrors in the Fun House.
