Re: filmscanners: CANON FS4000US vs NIKON IV ED

["Chris Hargens" <ldmr@cruzio.com>]

I hope some good reviews come out, otherwise I'll probably opt for the
SprintScan 4000. It's price has gone down and it's bundled with SilverFast.
Also,overall, I've heard good things about Polaroid's customer service.
Finally, I'm not sure that NOT having an onboard dust and scratch removal
option like FARE or ICE would make a significant difference, since,
according to what I've read, the SprintScan scans/read less dust, scratches,
etc. than the Nikon systems.
