Calling all Flexers,
I'm about to buy a slide scanner. I'm thinking
of the Nikon Coolscan V ED or the 5000 ED. Any advice
will be appreciated, particularly whether the 5000's
additional bits are worth the extra money. (The speed is
not a big factor for me.)
Thanks,
Hi Charlie!
Like many others, here, I have the Nikon Coolscan V-ED. It works
very well and has proved superbly reliable. The 5000 is faster (20
seconds scans) and will handle a bulk slide feeder for 50 slides, but
unless you need those features (at much extra money), the V works just fine.
Mine has a bit of dirt (or a bad pixel in the scanning bar) which
results in a coloured line across the photos. Rather than pay to
have it fixed, I use digital ICE (this adds about 30 seconds ot a
scan) and you'd never know there is a problem. As I mostly shoot
digital, the ICE is a much lower cost solution than sending it in to
get it fixed!
YMMV.
Cheers!
