Hi,
I'm about to purchase a flatbed scanner and would appreciate some advice
In regular use I'll be using it to scan drawings but I also plan to archive a load of old photos and 35mm negatives so this is a consideration. I don't need to scan slides. I'll be connecting it to an iMac 24" alu running Leopard.
I've narrowed my search to three contenders:
CanoScan 8800F - good at handling film, newest model, fast
CanoScan LiDE 600F - small footprint, USB powered BUT fiddly film attachment
Epson Perfection 4490 Photo - good image quality BUT two years old now
Is anybody out there using the 8800F with Leopard? Is the film tray and speed of scanning worth the slight sacrifice in image quality over the Epson? Any users of any of these scanners please stand up!
Thanks!
