is the first result on googling for "nikon 5000 ed minolta vs scan
dual"... you can try other links there as well.
I was comparing these two scanners too, and finally settled on Nikon.
They are both very good quality scanners. As the review suggests,
nikon may not do too well with silver-based emulsions. So get a
Minolta if you mailnly use this media. Otherwise, I have also heard
that Minolta auto focus doesn't always produce the best results.
One more thing you can do is look for lists for these two independent
scanners (where owners of these scanners post to get resolution of
issues they may be facing). Soon, you will see the pattern emerge and
understand the short-comings of these two scanners. (For example, in
one of the Minolta user lists, I saw a separate section to discuss
issues with auto focus and detailed mails on how to get the best
results... proof that you may have to complete a PhD before you could
get the best results from the Minolta... Of course, I have not used
the scanner, so I will not know).
