[filmscanners] RE: New to scanning

["Thomas B. Maugham" <TMaugham@yahoo.com>]

I've used the FS2710 and it should be fine for the use you describe.  I have
a Polaroid SprintScan 4000 and like it very much but it is now discontinued
in favor of the SprintScan 4000 Plus. I suspect that the SprintScan would be
overkill for what you want.

Hi

I'm considering purchasing a film scanner to enable me to transfer 35mm
colour transparency images onto my PC.  As a Freelance Writer, I am
interested in being able to email a magazine editor with sample pictures or
print out a reduced size image (say about 2 inches square) and send by snail
mail - just to illustrate to an editor the type of pictures I have
available.  I am not looking to reproduce my transparencies in great detail
(A4  or A3 size for instance).  I have a budget of about £350 and am
considering the following:-

Acer ScanWit 2720S
Canon FS2710
HP S20
Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 2
Jessops 3600 Pro

I would be interested in your comments and any scanners not on this list.

Thank you.

S Whaley
