sm23221 Posted March 21, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 21, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Any guesses when a new Epson flatbed photo scanner will hit the shelves? The current one seems to be about 4 years old and I hate to invest in "old" technology. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosefSchachner Posted March 21, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 21, 2011 Considering that Nikon stopped making scanners and there does not seem to be a huge market for it I would not hold my breath (or the same could happen as with the Nikons, as soon as it became clear that production stopped, 2nd hand prices went up like asph summiluxes after the Puts review) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth3kpl Posted March 21, 2011 Share #3 Posted March 21, 2011 Figital revolution hints at new scanners or perhaps software becoming available later in the year (in comments of the Portra 160 review). (not necessarily Epson). Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
menos I M6 Posted March 22, 2011 Share #4 Posted March 22, 2011 There is a new scanner labeled under the Reflecta brand scheduled for summer this year. It's fact sheet though seems mixed, slated clearly under the discontinued Nikon 9000 CS, taking 135 and 120 film, but only with a maximum optical resolution of 3200ppi. The kicker is the rumored price: ~1500 EUR. At such a price, any old EPSON 700 looks a lot more promising. The market offerings get thinner and thinner for high end consumer scanners. What is left is a handful of flatbeds and some newer dedicated consumer products (135 film scanners). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted March 22, 2011 Share #5 Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) There is a new scanner labeled under the Reflecta brand scheduled for summer this year.It's fact sheet though seems mixed, slated clearly under the discontinued Nikon 9000 CS, taking 135 and 120 film, but only with a maximum optical resolution of 3200ppi. From the results I got from a Super COOLSCAN 9000 ED, 3200 is really the maximum one ever gets - and sometimes I think 3200 is a misrepresentation, and 4000 is a marketing hype unless your target film is a super high contrast pure black&white line chart.
