Need second opinon on these two scanner. I think Minolta is a bit more expensive than the Nikon. Not sure if the quality is much2 better. If the cost is not an issue which one would you choose ?..
Thanks ..
forbytes said:I would say Nikon Coolscan V is the first choice then Minolta Scan Elite 5400 in general. But if you want to have more pixels (for blow up purposes, size greater than A3) and firewire.
There is 1 attachment in Coolscan V that I love is the Roll film adapter. It is able to aid you batch scan all 36 exposures provided the negative/slides are uncut. There is a bug in the software which requires you to pre-define the type of medium used in scanning like negative/positive. Wrong input results in misaligned images. I do not know if they have cleared this bug by now.
sdx4670r said:Thanks bro, are you using the V yourself ? just wondering how convenient to use and black and white quality.
Thanks ..
forbytes said:Sorry, I am using 5400. If I am not mistaken, do not turn on ICE for black and white. If got dust must manually remove them. If ICE is not important than the new Scan Dual IV is the best film scanner.

May I know how much for both scanner ?
thanks
sdx4670r said:I thought with ICE, no need to remove dust already :sweat: That's why I'm looking for 5400 or V..But why you say "must" for black and white??? I will be shooting BnW most of the time....
