 Rating:  - great scannerI've had this since it was first released and have found it to be a superb scanner. As someone else has pointed out, there are occasional issues with slides, but from my experience that is a glitch in the NikonScan software and not the scanner itself. Using other scanning software (eg. Vuescan or Silverfast) has solved those issues for me. Rating:  - Changed my opinionOriginally, I had very negative things to say about this product--namely problems with scanning chrome. Well, it took a couple of attempts over the past three years, but Nikon's support crew did a fantastic job once I convinced them of the problem, and they absorbed the entire cost of the repair (which was almost half the cost of the scanner). In other words, Nikon stands behind its products. And you can't beat that. Buy it. Rating: - The best way to go for scanning negativesThe Coolscan IV is definitely worth the price for scanning negatives. I looked at flatbed scanners and cheaper film scanners previously, but in the end I bit the bullet and bought the Coolscan. I have no regrets about doing this. The resolution of the scanned negatives is amazing - I can see details that were not visible the original prints.

I'm having a great time going through my archives, scanning images, sending them to friends, printing them out for my walls and for gifts. I also highly recommend the Canon photo printers. Results are fantastic. Thank you Nikon, thank you Macintosh, thank you Adobe Photoshop. Canon, too. Rating: - It works with XPIt comes with XP software and manual contrary to specs on Amazon Web site. It works wonderfully - installs wonderfully and produces great scans. Thanks Nikon and Amazon. |
