I've been using the original SS4000 for well over a year now and it looks 
tack sharp to me. I don't use the Polaroid software, which someone else 
pointed out had a focus bug in early versions. I use Vuescan with all three 
of my scanners (SS4000, 45i, and Epson 2450) and have had no problems with 
focus.
