Howard,

Thanks for the input on the SS4000+

I was leaning toward the Canon, but now I'm having second thoughts. If I
read you correctly, the Canon FS4000 is really good for the money, but is it
enough ?

I see the price differential in terms of scanning time and noise in the
shadows.
Cheers,
André

PS: Also gotta thank Art on this one.

Andre,  I have used the FS4000 until recently, and now have a Polaroid SS
4000+.  Unfortunately, I can't help you with the black and white film
question, as I have not scanned black and white on either machine.  I can,
however, tell you that I find the Polaroid to have a lot less noise in the
shadows...not that the FS4000 was bad, but there was enough difference to
easily tell which machine did the scanning.  I found both to have excellent
sharpness.  The Polaroid scans quite fast (I have it on a firewire card).  I
only used the FS4000 on a USB connection and it was extremely slow.
Overall,
I am glad to have gotten the Polaroid, but the FS4000 was certainly worth
the
money, as it is significantly cheaper.

Howard
