[filmscanners] Pacific Image PowerSlide 3600 opinions?
I have about 4,000 of my father's slides that I want to digitize. These are
just vacation slides, nothing really fancy and I doubt that we would ever
print anything larger than 8" X 10" if that.
With so many images to scan, I can't imagine doing them one at a time, and
so I've been looking at slide scanners which offer some feeding mechanism.
The only two in the U. S. I've found so far are the Nikon and the Pacific
Image PowerSlide scanners.
The Nikon 5000ED with their new SF-210 Auto Slide Feeder from B&H Photo
would run about $1,600. The PowerSlide 3600 would cost about $650, about
1/3rd the price of the Nikon.
But I haven't been able to find any information on the Pacific Image scanner
that seems to be an objective (or appropriately subjective) review of the
unit.
Can anyone on this list help out, please? I'd sure like to spend less
rather than more. I'm not going to be using this machine much after this
project, and in fact will probably donate it to our local Seattle Audubon
Society for their use.
Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks!
