Digital BW, The Print

I went with the CanoScan FS4000 because it does cost $400-500 less than the
Nikon 4000 scanner. Sure, it's a bit slower, but FARE works much better than
ICE. ICE softens up the image alot more than FARE does.

So far, negs scan just excellent, some chrome films take awhile to get
right.

My scans look better, and my prints from the Epson 2200 look amazing. I was
scanning with a 2700 dpi, 4000dpi is a BIG difference when printing 13x19
prints.

Canon's suggested price is $1,100. Do not buy a gray market scanner, Canon
will not fix it if it breaks.

Thanks Ken,

I was using the Canon FS4000 for a while and was pleased with the
results but it was slow and seemed to crash a lot. I'm guessing the
Nikon takes mulitple formats. Like the Canon it seems to have 4000
DPI capability as well as 48bit feature. The Canon does have a neg
cleaning feature that eliminates scratches and spots. The Nikon comes
batched with Genuine Fractals which is nice. I've never used that but
have heard good things about it.
