The Olympus ES-10 is the least expensive slide scanner on the market and is excellent value for money for the average amateur user, at a street price of under $400. An additional attachment allows you to work with the new APS film cartridges and take advantage of the digital information stored on the APS film.

NIKON:

The Nikon LS-2000 with its Digital Ice mar removal technology streets for under $1900. It produces excellent images suitable for many kinds of work, and the mar removal technology will be extremely useful for many people.
... The Nikon LS-30 Coolscan III also has the mar removal technology, and has a significantly higher resolution than the Olympus ES-10. The Nikon Coolscan III is very good value for under $1000.
... Note: The autofeeders for the Nikon slide scanners do not work as they should and I advise against them.

Coming soon...

In the next months I will be writing about the impressive new Olympus D-400Z digital camera, and about the Olympus P-300 dye sub photo printer.
... The Olympus D-400Z digital camera is high resolution, compact, well designed, fully featured, and is unique in that it can save uncompressed images, as well a JPEGs. (Even the lowest level of JPEG compression has visible artifacts.)
... The Olympus P-300 personal photo printer makes high resolution, photo-realistic images on 4 x 5.5 inch media. Images can be input from a computer or directly from Olympus D-220L, D-320L and D-400Z digital cameras.
