 Good scanner but not for beginners August 9, 2008
Tom O (Gaithersburg, MD USA)
The 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 amateurs who would want a contact sheet of their negatives, preferably without taking them out of their holder, the way I used to do it in my darkroom. The medium format holder is also poorly designed, no pro wants to cut up his negatives to scan them.
 Delighted June 9, 2008
S. Harding (Mesquite, TX USA)
I 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 remove. I would recommend this product for anyone needing to digitize a large number of slides.
Best scanner I've had! June 9, 2008
Gary R. Fuchikami (Hawaii USA)
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 because trying to scan negatives using ScanWizard was not working. I kept getting images that looked more like a brightly colored mosaic than anything. Finally, just when I was ready to give up, I loaded the supplied SilverFast Ai program and tried scanning negatives with it, and they came out beautifully! (I had ScanWizard's settings correctly set for negative scanning, but something isn't working right in that program; also couldn't get Microtek's website at all; seems to be off-line for the past couple of weeks, but I'm not too concerned since SilverFast works!) br / br /This scanner does a wonderful job scanning negatives; I didn't believe how it could turn those orange-tinted negatives into normal photos. Normal reflective scans are just as good and the scanner is significantly faster than my old E6. This is by far the best scanner I've seen; my next project is to find some of my old slides and see what kind of job it will do with them. I suspect it'll be as great as the negative scans! At the discount prices you can get this scanner for, it is certainly worth considering!
