"As close to perfection as you can get!"
Pros: very fast scanning, simple 3-step scanning, great resolution!
Cons: manual-control of software complicated, but gives control over every little facet of the scanner
Summary: Contrary to what the original editorial says, this is a 16-bit PER CHANNEL scanner for 48-bits total! It is NOT inferior to other 48-bit scanner as far as color resolution goes. Even 1st generation 1980s 8-bit scanners give 24-bits total color resolution.
This is a much-improved scanner over the previous-generation 5400. It's much faster and the latest ICE implementation works better. Multiple passes does a very good job off evening out noise and artifacts. This is probably the last scanner I'll ever buy as I'll be using digital from now on, just wish I can get 40mp images as cheaply as with this scanner and slides.
