| 179277 | 2003-10-02 12:34:00 | Nomad apart from pointing out that domestic scanners are about the same, you said: "the Canon Scanners - proper size ones - not the lide series." and again: "If not Canon does have a consumer model - not the lide series but larger." Thats what I was asking. Have you used, and do you have a valid reason for your negative comment of the LiDE scanners? More than that, from what I have learned using a domestic scanner of about 1200 or 2400 dpi for 35mm negs does NOT provide "better quality" than scanning a print from the same neg. It may be ok for emailing or the monitor, but figure out the resulting dpi of a 1" x 1.5" neg when enlarged for printing. Thats why dedicated film scanners with very many more 1000's dpi are recommended, and so expensive. What say Nomad, about the LiDE scanners ? |

| 179278 | 2003-10-03 00:57:00 | I have a HP normal sized scanners. I have used Lide ones b4 off a friend. To me, the quality is not noticebly different. Hence I said they about the same without a benchmark. Yes, I said if Lide are not as good, then the normal size ones can provide better images. Reviews tends to rank normal size scanners better quality than portably scanenrs. 2nd point. I said if that is not good enof, u can scan 35mm on a flatbed (larger). Lide series does not have backlightening so cannot scan nege's. This may be helpful re: Canon 3000F scanning prints and scanning nege's. Review (reviews.cnet.com) A lide by the sounds of it should be enof. But there are other options. The cheapest/quality soln is prob use a digicam, then downscale with Photoshop or such as.. then email. |

| 179279 | 2003-10-09 03:50:00 | Thanks all for the feedback and the links, good to hear what others have to say. The links are great and very good reading thanks. For now I will get a Lide but will look at a film scanner if this will give me the best results. And a digi cam! |

| 179280 | 2003-10-09 22:26:00 | I bought the Canoscan D66OU from DSE. It has the 35mm negative slide and the software is pretty easy to get to grips with and can import direct into Photoshop for the final edit. Overall, I like the images, but the platen glass can get a little dusty. I think it is on the "Lets get rid of this stuff" list at DSE.
