Amateur photographer recommend the minolta range - but that depends on how you feel about Sony support! |

I take it that Sony support is not good then! |

I have no idea - but they're in charge now. I've just bought a Minolta 5D, knowing full well that support would be in Sony's hands, and I'm not too concerned. It's just some people may be wary of buying into what is now a defunct brand name.

Okay thanks I will check them out. I'm not bothered if a brand is defunct but i do need a good product. I have approx 8000 slides, most of which I need to scan. Wish me luck! |

Have used Minolta's before - Dimage scan etc, the ones I used weren't to accurate with the colours - be prepared for some photoshop work! I'd go for a Nikon Coolscan if you can afford it. Haven't tried the Canon though. |

I've used the Polarious Sprint scans - up to A3 at 300dpi - for a couple of years and love it. Now ive digital mine is for sale if you are interest (sorry cheeky plug  )
The Sprintscans are lovely through - I've had no complaints from art directors or photo libraries anyway | | | |
