 Rating:  - Good scanner but not for beginnersThe software that comes with this scanner is the weak point, it crashed numerous times. Don't use the CD, download everything from the website. It comes with a pretty complete manual, but the way this software is designed it needs it. They could spend more time explaining what they mean by a batch. Also, to have a transparency scanning area of 8 x 10 and make a carrier that holds two strips of 35mm film is crazy, what about the rest of the area? Their target market should be pros or advanced ... Read More Rating:  - DelightedI selected this product because I needed a new scanner and wanted one that could scan my large collection of 35mm slides as well as prints and documents. I have scanned a couple of dozen slides so far and am very pleased with the results. The color is true and the resolution allows for good detail. The software includes Adobe Photoshop Elements, which I had not used before, but I'm finding it easy to pick up. I'm using that to erase the small bits of dust that my pre-cleaning did not completely ... Read More Rating: - Best scanner I've had!I bought the i900 because I wanted a scanner that would do slides & negatives besides normal reflective scans. I have an old Scanmaker E6 that is still working great, so I decided on the i900 because it was cheaper than most film scanners and could do more than just film. I considered the i800 but decided against it as it seemed not to be as heavy duty with a cheaper, lighter construction and using a brick power supply rather than an internal supply like the i900. Anyway, at first I was frustrated ... Read More Rating:  - Spend about $250 for a far superior scannerI'm a Mac user so software problems might be different then PC. I bought this scanner in 2006. I'll tell you what you will be in for now and a year and more from now. The firewire quit functioning on the first one I got so I sent it back under warranty. The firewire quit working about a week after the warranty expired on the second and I was told I could have the scanner replaced with a refurbished one for $250. Believe me the scanner isn't worth it. The software that comes ... Read More Rating:  - Good scanner with software from h*llMicrotek has always made good hardware and always provided a challenge in terms of its software - hence the professional photographer who sold me her i900 because she "couldn't figure out how to make it work." When running this scanner on Mac OS X Leopard, all kinds of fun awaits - and I do computers for a living. The Microtek ScanWizard software is rated to run on Leopard, but causes the scanner to make sounds like someone hitting it with a ballpeen hammer, and then it locks up. LaserSoft's usually reliable ... Read More |
