Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED a design success.
Review of Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED by petermock

Advantages: high quality scans, large files, robust and intelligently designed.
Disadvantages: None.

...The Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED is a brilliantly designed multi- format film scanner aimed at professionals but I would seriously recommend it for anyone passionate about photography. It is a joy to use. It scans 35mm, Medium format 120/220, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9 (cm) and 16mm size films. Excellent results with black and white, colour negative and slide film in all the available above formats. The price for the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED is around £1800 to £2200. Compared to the Imacon range of Flextight scanners which can be anything around £5000 to £12000 the Nikon Coolscan 9000 ED price is instantly more attractive but what about quality? The Nikon Coolscan produces images that are certainly good enough for professional, commercial and archival uses and fine art exhibiting purposes. If you use Photoshop and have a good or professional... Read review

No need for Digital, Film can be seen on PC too
Review of Nikon Coolscan V ED by Lessthanemma

Advantages: Quick and Easy to use
Disadvantages: None

...This device is for anyone using a film camera but want there images on PC without purchasing a digital camera. So you can still use the same camera you have used for all those years. Also with the negatives you have kept from years back you can put them onto PC. Its quick and easy to use, just put the film in and it scans it through. The Nikon Coolscan IV ED offers an ultimate in professional film scanning technology. It is a desktop scanner which offers a super-fast throughput when scanning 35mm strip film or mounted 35mm slides at upto 2900 dpi optical resolution. That means it produces an image on the PC of in excess of 12 megapixels from a 35mm frame, which means you can create an image which can be printed onto an A3 page in full photo quality. Digital ICE technology is built in, it consists of Digital IC (Image Correction... Read review

Lets Slide into Scanning
Review of Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED by gwarwick

Advantages: Exceptional Quality of Image, Worth its money
Disadvantages: Takes time to get used to controls.

...The Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED is a one of the highest quality slide/film scanners around at an affordable price. It scans at a maximum resolution of 4000 dpi (dots per inch; therefore the higher the resolution the better picture quality) and has many features, which we will look at in more detail. I ordered my Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED online at WarnersImaging.co.uk. At the time of purchase, which was February 2003, it cost me £958.81 inclusive of Vat. This was one of the cheapest places that I could find it. I would definitely recommend shopping around though, as some stores were selling it for as high as £1200. THE PACKAGE From WarnersImaging.co.uk I got the following items, but remember that different stores may provide a different package. Its worthwhile emailing them to enquire as to what exactly you get for the price... Read review

nikon d300

The Nikon D300 will currently set you back around £1000 in the UK, and that's without the glass on the front. My review here might seem technical to some, but that's not an amount of money most people part with lightly. I don't apologise for putting some more

nikon d60

I own this camera for quite a while now and I'm fully satisfied with it. Though its 6.1 - 10.2 mega-pixel resolution was beaten with over 12 mega-pixel offered by new Nikon D300, for the price I paid Nikon D60 served me very well. Quality of pictures is more
