[filmscanners] RE: New Purchase

["Jack Phipps" <JPhipps@asf.com>]

Hi Ed--
If you are looking for an inexpensive scanner, you might want to consider
the Acer (now Benq) film scanner or the umax film scanner. You should be
able to find one for under $500. These have Digital ICE and make quality
scans.

Hello all, I am new to the filmscanners list, but am excited to be a part of
this group.

I am currently in the process of purchasing a film scanner and intend to buy
a used scanner.  I am debating between a Kodak RFS 3600, Polaroid Sprintscan
35 Plus (Model cs3600) and an HP Photosmart S20.

Based upon my budget constraints, the Polaroid or the HP seem to be the
logical choice.  I would appreciate any recommendations for one over the
other.

That being said, I may be able to acquire the Kodak for a relatively
reasonable price.  If so, would you recommend that I purchase that instead?
Based upon your experiences (or conversations from others) have you found
the Kodak to be a significant step up from the Polaroid or the HP?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Ed Renenger
