I'm using one... Minolta Dimage Scan Elite II. Paid £469.00 (approx. S$1294.00 based on today's exchange rate of 2.758).
Best way to judge quality is to see... check out the gallery link below if interested. Note that most of these have been resized and compressed to apporx. 60~70kbytes.

I have a Canon FS 4000US which I bought it used @ S$1k last year. How does it compare with a 5 mp? How do I know when I don't even own a DC. I suppose scanning the negatives/positives is the easy part; the real challenge is to use Photoshop to bring out the original flavour of the image!

Ya rite...I'll probably need better camera bodies and expensive lenses to go along with it!
