The Canon scanner stopped working in July 2012. I replaced it in 2003 with a Canon FS4000US, capable of 4000dpi scans at 14 bits per color channel.

I chose the Hewlett-Packard Photosmart (the original SCSI version), which could produce 2400dpi (“dots per inch” resolution) scans at 10 bits per color channel. When I started scanning my slides and negatives in 1999, Canon, Minolta, and Nikon (along with Acer, Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, and Polaroid) offered a large selection of professional and “prosumer” desktop film scanners. Plustek OpticFilm 7600i and 8200i Scanners Introduction I also hereby acknowledge that any trademarked names are the exclusive, sacrosanct, and inviolate property of their owners.

However, I am a satisfied user of the products I mention and can definitely recommend them, though I won’t hesitate to criticize their flaws. Note: I have no connection, financial or otherwise, with any corporations, manufacturers, or vendors whose products and Web links appear on this page. Vuescan with Plustek OpticFilm 120 doing 2 pass scans? I recently figured out how to properly scan my films with the proper colour/exposures, but my scanner is doing 2 pass scans, instead of single pass scans, and im not sure why. Furthermore, VueScan can be also used to download images from more than 200 digital camera models, so we will be able to use just one program to edit the pictures we import from other. VueScan is an excellent alternative for those users who need a software to control the scanner, because this lite program is compatible with more than 500 models.
