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?

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.
