I made the same mistake when I bought (3 years ago)
the 6200c and paid a fortune willing to have an HE flat bed capable of scanning
films and slides (sometimes) ....
BIG MISTAKE !
I don't want to tell you about the lousy quality of
the product and the hassles of having it working under W98SE .... I can write a
very sad romance ...
I want just to warn you ... if the 7400 it would be
even close relative to the 6200c then ... you will never scan any film or
any slide !
The quality of scans is so poor to make it almost
useless.
I have wasted my money and 2 months later I have
been obliged (after having accessed this forum while pilgrining on the net .....
looking for relief) to buy a film scanner (Nikon LS-30) ..... delightful machine
indeed !
The HP6200 is broken (I actually scanned 100 times
max !!!!!!!!!!!!!!) (150$ asked for a repair by the HP carry - in centre
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I have substituted the flatbed with an
inexpensive Genius Kye 50$ worth ... and it produces good results for my
purposes.
Ready to listen to people knowing better than me
the 7400 , but I won't buy this brand any more .. :-(((
Sincerely.
Ezio

Subject: filmscanners: HP 7400c
User reviews of the HP 7400c scanner would be
appreciated. I'm looking to copy polaroid transfers (approx. 3" x 5" --
from 669 color pack film) and to make distribution CD's of my B&W
work. In additon, I'd like to be able to make scans of 35mm and 645
transparencies for proof prints and enlargements to 13"x19" size. Yeah,
cost does matter. This machine seems like a pretty good
compromise.
