I got my V700 last week and it is pretty much the same than the 4990 I used at University. Only a little more expensive and more weight... Best, JL

A plurality seems to be pointing tin the direction of a 4990. Maybe I'll buy one today :-) Allen On Jul 16, 2007, at 12:08 PM, Carlos Manuel Freaza wrote:
I have an Epson 4490 and 3.4 Dmax is more than enough to scan films and prints (4.0 Dmax could help for 35mm film), I bought the VueScan software (the basic version) and it really helps for the scanning process. Anyway the original Epson scanning software is very good too and considering the price reduction for the 4990 I'd buy a 4990 today.- All the best Carlos --- Allen Zak <azak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> escribió:Peter, Very much, Thanks.

The 4990has a higher Dmax of4.0 compared to 3.4 of the 4490 which shouldresult in a better scan.The only other difference is really the 4490 cando 35mm and 2 1/4scanning while the 4990 can do film up to an 8x10"sheet.Hope this helps.
