Advantages: Speed and Quality Disadvantages: I must admit the Cost is High But you get what you pay for.
Ok well im about to start a review on something that I never thought I would rave about. Its a Scanner! They have been out for ages, they were very usefull in the past but for years now I could do with out them. Once I stored all my old family photos in and saved them to Disk I got rid of my Scanner because I never used it after that.
Well Recently at work we have been working on a project. For obvious Reasons I cant say what it is, but all the ... ...bits of paper, the best part of thirty years old. There were litterally 100s of 1000s of pages, nothing on computer just all Paperwork. There was only one copy of everything.

Advantages: Superb quality images and amazing ICE dust removal Disadvantages: Poor user interface & price (especially for the optional APS adaptor)
...finally decided to get the Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED. All the reviews I read suggested a good balance between cost and performance, and I can confirm this. The scanner cost $1065 or about £600 from a US company called Cameta Camera who were selling the scanner new on ebay.

Advantages: Excellent scan quality, Full version of SilverFast Ai Disadvantages: Little Diffrence from V700, Film holders are a little flimsy for a pro scanner.
...as follows :-
The Epson V700 Photo scanner was trageted at the high end consumer. Whereas the V750 is targeted for the more professional user.
The V750 has an Anti-Reflection Optical Coating as well as CCD Glass to help reduce the ammount of reflection. These are Features that Only a professional would look for when buying this type of product and are not all needed for you casual high end consumer in my opinion. The V750 also includes a full version ... ...I recomend sticking with the EPSON brand but selecting a newer model.
