Coolscan® Film Scanners:
The Coolscan IV ED, Super
Coolscan 4000 ED and Super
Coolscan 8000 ED, take film
scanning to a new level by
offering sharp Scanner Nikkor
ED optics, a highly accurate
LED light source, and the
versatile Nikon Scan® 3.0
software. These are the first
scanners to offer Digital
ICE3, which removes surface
defects, restores color,
corrects exposure and
reduces grain in your scans
giving photographers,
graphics professionals and
others the ability to produce
perfectly scanned images
from a wide variety of film
Text copy from Nikon USA site about the scanners:
Sorry Paul Graham
What i have found out when i tested the scanner do that I don't agree with
all text above from Nikon. Why do i have better resolution over the whole
picture with a old Polaroid 35+ scanner???? Without any glass frames.
And to end this discussion:
I think the best way for every one is: Find out how good a scanner rely
are by doing a own test, and compare it, against other scanners on the
market.
