I purchased this scanner after my printer/scanner combo quit working. I decided to just get a dedicated scanner and this scanner fills the bill perfectly. First of all the added bonus of being able to scan film negatives and slides is a huge plus. The quality of this scanner exceeds the quality of my dedicated film scanner plus it can handle much more different types of film and negatives. For me the main issue for any scanner is the software. I was able to download the manual before buying this scanner and confirmed that it has all the bells and whistles that I need for all my scanner needs; especially being able to adjust the sliders on the histogram and being able to correct the color. Of course it has all the other features you would ever want. You will have to dig into the manual to get to some of the features but it's worth the time to explore. The advance features are too numerous to mention but suffice it to say that you can do anything you can imagine with this scanner. The only issue is that you need a lot of overhead room to lift the cover and remove the light baffle for film. Also the scanner is a lot longer than my older scanner so it does take more room than usual. One strange feature is that the power switch is toward the back on the right side; not exactly convenient! The film frames are a little fidgety but they do work. The software automatically recognizes the frames but you do have to make sure you setup the parameters (film, reflection, color, gray scale, resolution, etc) before you do a preview. I've only had this scanner for a week so I hope it will stand up to the test of time.
