Performance improvements over the LS2000 are immediately visible. This scanner is a remarquable piece of hardware for its price.

Because of the many reoccuring problems ( shadow noise, streaks, reliability, poor software & color management, I went to the Coolscan IV.

Wish my computer was a bit faster, I have to scan a lot of images for my website: Bottom line: a professional product, but needs a few upgrades.ДЇirst, I was very tempted to replace my old LS2000 with the very attractive Canon FS4000US. Generally only small corrections are required. I must say that the scanner''''s exposure is very accurate. I prefer to do my color corrections in Photoshop (5.0 LE was included with the scanner). The preview window is too small and color balance is not the same as the final image in the scanner program or in Photoshop. So far the Nikon distributor hasn''''t responded on my email complaints. Switching off and on sometimes solves the problems (but not always). It often produces ''''hardware errors''''and makes clunky noises.ДЄlso autofocus is sometimes completely wrong. I am a bit disappointed with the reliability of this scanner.

ROC and GEM options are very slow on my old PII 300 MHz, but I seldom need to use it with Fuji Velvia films. With todays low RAM prices it''''s only $50 or so for a serious upgrade. It pays to add a little extra RAM in your computer. The digital ICE feature is a dream, and saves a lot of time. I use this scanner to make high quality duplicates on a digital film printer. This scanner produces excellent results for the price you pay. If you''re not handy with computers, wait until the scanner comes with the updated Nikon Scan 3 for Windows. I would recommend the Coolscan IV to any one new to digital photography. As people have mentioned, ICE is amazing.ДЄt this point I have no complaints whatsoever and am a happy customer.

In terms of time for scans I find a full scan of 4200 X 2800 with ICE takes about 2 and 1/2 minutes. In terms of negatives, the color isn''t quite as good as the scan done by my camera store. There are no adjustments necessary and any fine tuning I do with Photoshop Elements. The detail on the screen when a full scan is shown with the actual pixel size blows me away. They are much better than the ones I was having done at my local camera store (they were about 1800 x 1200 pixels). I was amazed at the quality of the scans for slides. However once it was loaded (which took about an hour) I have had no problems and found it very easy to start scanning within minutes. I have Windows XP and had trouble downloading the latest Nikon Scan 3.1.2 but the Nikon tech support was fast and helpful. I had never used a scanner before and am just learning about digital photography. I bought this scanner based on the reviews here (my choice was this or the Canon 4000) and am very pleased.
