Film and Negative Scanners

[skyboy]

Hi ,

I'm looking for Film and Negative Scanners in order to convert my neg into digital image. Did anyone using Epson V700 and Canoscan 8600F? What is the comments/result including the photo scanning.

From the internet review, Canoscan 8600F was a good scanner. Or any good recommentation? :think:

I'm using the Epson 4990 and it works for me. It was one of the better ones ard and it still is. The new V700 is good too but I think it's a lil more ex then the 4490.

I'll suggest a fast pc with sufficient ram. When I bought the scanner, the whole process for me was rather slow as my pc didn't have enough ram. I upgraded ram and a bigger harddisk space and it was much better.

Hope that helps.
