I would find these observations more useful if the observers would include
mention of ownership of either unit under discussion. Not to imply the
possibility of bias, of course.;=)

>> What I find particularly interesting is that the Minolta shows more
detail (including all the junk (DDSG-dust, dirt, scratches and grain))
than the Nikon does.
Have you attempted defocusing yet? The Minolta claims to be about 20%
higher resolution, 4800 versus 4000 dpi, and the original scan does look
sharper to me, but at what cost?
Honestly, I prefer the Minolta scan post dICE to the Nikon post dICE,
and if the grain is still too intense for some would GEM help? <<
You may want to have another look at the samples. The Nikon scans are much
smoother and show more detail. The Nikon scan clearly shows the texture of
the skin and fine strands of hair that are not evident in the Minolta scan.
