I've posted many times about my 5400. I have a series 1. It was not until I got the SilverFast software that my scans became great. I'm sorry your experience with SilverFast was not good. You must leave the Minolta software loaded in your computer so that SilverFast can identify the scanner as being turned on. The Minolta service dept was abysmal. Unfortunately, when Sony took over, they decided to use the same service dept but under the Sony name (I'm not even sure if service for Minolta still exists at all!). If mine ever craps out, I'm not sure what I'll do - get a Nikon or maybe quit shooting film. OTOH, I vacillate all the time about quitting digital and JUST doing film

I suppose it is good to have choices.
