Author's Review

I have scanned about 20 images now and I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed. The overall resolution, detail and contrast is outstanding, not to mention the Digital ICE touch-ups. I also don't experience the slowness that others have reported. I would estimate it takes only 2-3 minutes for a full-res scan in 14-bit mode.

My minor gripes are these:
The software is a little unstable, but if you import using Photoshop it seems to take care of the problem. Also, it would be nice to have a slightly higher-res preview scan. It's really hard to see adjustments with a tiny preview window.

Overall I highly recommend this product over any class-competitors.
