| 106933 | 2002-12-17 10:47:00 | I need to scan a lot of film (negatives and slides) for archival and reproduction/enlargement, as well as a fair bit of general scanning. After some investigation thought that Canoscan 5000F should be the overall best (in absence of adequate reviews). Best price so far is $550. Pricespy doesn't include it. Toms Hardware likewise hasn't much to say. Does anyone have views/experience on whether the claimed resolution (2400x4800)dpi is enough (or too much) for 35mm negatives - also on how good is that price, or whether Epson HP Microtek or other might be better. Part of my reasoning was that Canon has a vast amount of experience in things photographic, whereas Epson is better known for printers, HP for computers etc. |

I would assume that the AKCity Central Library may have a machine to do something like that considering they have all the Microfiche and the readers for it there... That and I think I remember seeing somewhere that you could print out things from the Microfiche there - could be wrong though Hope this helped CyberChuck |
