"Too much money for a one-pass scanner"
Pros: Love Digital Ice Dust and lint software. it really works great.
Cons: 1. Does not do multi-pass scans. 2. Grain noise creeps into the shadow areas really easily. It needs a multi-pass function to lower grain noise in the shadows. 3. DEE Threshold slider is very tricky for the DEE software. 4. 14 bit is kind of silly consid

Clearly not a user of the product with a comment like this. This is an entry-level pro scanner, not a Wal Mart special. It has the performance and features to justify its price. You get what you pay for - great performance and good software. My only criticism is it's a little slow on high-quality scan settings.

I am new to looking at the Nikon Coolscan but as I understand from CNET's review it does have a multi-pass option: For the ultimate in quality, try the Multi-sample Scan option, which rescans your image from 2 up to 16 times, and then averages out noise and other artifacts. In our test scans, we got the best compromise between time and quality at a 4X sampling rate.
