This scanner is becoming very attractive pricewise. I am currently using a Canon FS4000US. I have no complaints about image quality, but scanning speed is another matter. Even using SCSI, scanning times are long. Is the Coolscan V ED a fast scanner? How about quality of build and ease of use? The Canon is well made and easy to use IMHO.

It is no doubt a very good scanner when it comes to results. What you have to pay for the quality though, may or may not be tolerable to you.
- one strip at a time (a strip can be 2-6 frames) preview and scan
- long duration scratch/grain removal algorithm, even longer if you do the sharpening from the scanning software
- utilitarian but not great scanning software
- have to crop the black/white border manually (let me know if someone knows an automated way)
I put up with it because:
- the result is great
- I don't have an Epson V700
- the rival scanning software sucks even more (VueScan)
