Digital camera reviews of Nikon CoolScan V ED Film Scanner
Digital camera Review: Still available elsewhere at MSRP
Summary: 4 Stars
The coolscan V ED has been discontinued with no evident replacement in sight. As such, they are getting hard to find and the price seems to be going up (ie Adorama). You can still get them from Bestbuy for MSRP, plus tax and $6.00 shipping. Not such a bad deal. I may still opt for the 5000 and return my V that is en route. Any thoughts?? Actual review to follow.
UPDATE: Returned this scanner and got the 5000 with the F-210 batch scanner. So far, so good. Tracking resale prices on E-bay makes spending more to get the 16 bit scanner seem worth the price differential. The scans of some of my older slides are just simply breathtaking. Hope this helps.
