Scanner Review: Microtek ScanMaker i800

We received an early review unit which sat by our side for a couple of months handling our routine scanning tasks. It handled everything we threw at it -- line art, 35mm negatives, slides, prints -- rather effortlessly, regardless of which scanning application we favored at the moment. What's affordable about $400 list? Inexpensive flatbeds strain to get their Dmax (the maximum recordable density with 4.0 being very black) into the high threes, fine for the 2.0 dynamic range (Dmax minus the rarely stated Dmin) you need to scan reflective material.

Epson Perfection V700 Photo Review & Rating

But if you take your photography seriously, are demanding about scan quality—and particularly if you have a large print and film collection waiting to enter the digital age, this scanner well worth your attention. Its claimed resolution of 6,400 pixels per inch is significantly higher than the 2,400- or 3,600-ppi maximum of many dedicated film scanners, but scan quality is the important measure, and that's among the best we've seen. Although the V700 clearly focuses on photos, it takes a stab at being an all-purpose scanner.

Twain and WIA drivers let you scan from most programs that have the capability, and Abbyy FineReader Sprint 8.0, an optical character recognition (OCR) program, converts text images into editable copy. In our OCR tests, the V700 did well, reading our test pages of 8-point Times New Roman and Arial copy without a mistake. At film scanning, though, the V700 shines. Epson V700 V750 PRO. Epson V700 and V750 PRO Scanner Review Test © 2006 KenRockwell.com About these reviews I'd get it here, here or here (V700) or here, here or here (V750 PRO) Epson introduced these two film scanners at PMA in February 2006.

Epson V700 V750 PRO

The $550 V700 Photo is available today and the and the $800 V750 Pro is expected on May 14th, 2006. They each are rated at 6,400 DPI, but the optics aren't quite up to it. I intend to show a direct comparison to my $3,000 Minolta Multi PRO scanner which Epson told me in person looks crummy next to scans from the V750. The V700 and V750 each have two lenses. The V750 Pro adds a glass holder for wet mounting. The V750's glass holder is one sheet of glass on top of which the film is sandwiched under a sheet of Mylar with some drops of KAMI mounting fluid. These scanners also have the traditional ASF-Kodak Digital ICE. I definitely need to get one of these to try. Minolta Dimage Scan Dual III Film Scanner Review. Text and photography copyright James Hutchison If you're already familiar with budget scanners, you'll know that scanning film on flatbed scanners costing under $500 is pretty well a waste of time.

Assuming that 4800 DPI is adequate to scan film is wrong, because it comes down to the quality of the optical system that delivers the image to the CCD. Keep in mind you get what you pay for.
