Hello Chris,

The author, Vincent, has done some extensive reviews for the latest
flat bed scanners from Epson and Canon. I owned a Canon 8800F and
recently upgraded to Nikon CoolScan V. Obviously, there is a big
difference between the scans from these scanners. However, per the
site I mentioned, some of the more recent flatbed scanners show
results that are closer to the older dedicated film scanners.
