Great Results using the Coolscan with iMac. |
I have an extensive 35mm slide collection spanning the last 20 years. Have decided to digitize it. I doubt one could find a better system for the money. I use the Digital ICE on 99.9% of slides, it works very well removing scratches and lint. The Digital DEE can produce excellent results on underexposed photos, I am finding it works very well in recovering "almost" good pics (remember the days of the Canon AE-1?). I use the ROC and GEM sparingly. The ROC can be useful for those "blue" pics.
I highly recommend this product. You will see details in these images you have never seen using a slide projector! Note: Have at least 512Mb of RAM, the images are big. |

Awesome |
I have used this scanner for about a month, during which I have scanned about 200 Fujichrome slides and a few Kodacolor negatives. I am thrilled with the performance of this scanner! The color rendition is flawless, and the ICE scratch and dust removal is amazing.
It takes about a minute to scan each slide and this unit does not have an automatic slide loader (nor is one available, as near as I can tell). Therefore, it takes a little practice to where you can sit and read a book while hand-loading slides. Once you have that figured out, the time passes pleasantly.
By Japanese electronics standards, I would say the user manual is quite helpful and gives useful guidelines for scanning for different purposes, e.g., printing, web posting, etc. |

The best affordable film scanner |
| I have a ton of negatives both black and white and color and simply scanning the prints wasn't always satisfactory. So I shopped around and found this particular scanner to be the best for under $1000. You can only scan 35 mm slides or negatives not medium format. The scanner has functions which cleans up dust and scratches, restores color, reduces grain among a number of functions but turning these functions on will prolong the amount of time it takes to scan the negative. However, the wait usually the longest being 5 minutes is highly satisfactory. The ED glass in the scanner and Nikon engineering has a lot to do about this. You have your choice of destination file types but generally given the very high resoluton you can have files up to 60 MB or more which I reduce to around 1-2 MB. The product was ready to use within minutes after installing the software and taking it out of the box. It's competitor Minolta Dimage IV was plagued by setup problems and also lacked the digital clean up of negatives. If you have a box of 35 mm slides or negatives and want to archive them digitally or restore then I highly recommend this product. |
