 Rating:  - nikon coolscan locking screw error 'fix' and moreI have used an LS-2000 for about 3 years and am familiar with just about every complaint I see in reviews. My unit also quit and I had it rebuilt by Nikon (new stepper motor sound familiar). I must say that my experience with their customer service was ok. After the repair I still see the 'locking screw error', 'can not detect scanner' error, 'out of focus' scans, and blank SCANs. I discovered that on my unit, if I simply stand it up so the 'Nikon' logo is on top (normal orientation) and unit not ... Read More Rating:  - Nikon Cool Scan: an alternative to a digital camera??First off: this is my FIRST film scanner, so I dont know how crappy or good they range from. But, I do know a good picture, and that even a 5 Megapixel picture is not impressive to me. That resolution is fine for 5x7, but blow them up to 8x10 and print them. Like alot of other people, I have fine 35mm film equipment, and it is a fact that the resolution of film with a good camera ranges from 25-100 megapixel resolution. The argument of "oh, 5 megapixel is waaay good enough: ...

The folks who have had "fogging" experiences probably had dust on the lens... left the door open without an attachment in the access slot. The other problems were probably from not following the user guide and moving the machine without the transport screws in place. (very explicit instructions) The automatic functions work if one sets it in software. Nikon has improved their software ... Read More Rating:  - What support?????I have had the same problems with my scanner as others have had. Starts off by making wonderful scans. Then after a while scans become a little foggy. Try calling Nikon to have a tech assist me or info to send the scanner to be checked out was drawn out and frustrating. I cant believe that Nikon, a world leader, has such...poor customer service. I bought Nikon becasue of all the wonderful things I had heard about the company, but when it comes to support, forget it. I hate to use such harsh words, but ... Read More Rating: - Best hardware for slide scanningI work for a doctor that lectures around the nation. Two years ago, he decided to go digital. That meant scanning all his 35mm slides and preparing them for PowerPoint. I checked out all the flat-bed scanners with the attachments for slide scanning, and finally decided that purchasing two scanners (one flatbed and one for slides) was the best way to go. I never regret that decision. We have scanned over 6,000 slides and still plan to be doing more. Here's a hint for those needing to do a large amount ... Read More |
