I've had two Minolta film scanners (Dimage Scan Dual and 5400 (non - 
II)) and now the Nikon 9000 ED.  (I also have a Mustek flatbed that is a 
bit long in the tooth).

The Minolta's were always great and reliable.  I got $500 for the 5400 
after well in excess of 5000 scans.  Some slide film would only scan 
well with the Minolta s/w; some negative film only with VueScan.

I'm no fan of the Nikon scan s/w, but slowly getting used to it.

The 8000 has a very good rep, but of course is improved in the 9000.

I have heard various horror stories about Nikon scanner service in the 
US.  Of course you don't here of the many likely good stories.

I reluctantly say: don't get the Minolta, but only because there is no 
more Minolta in this business.  Further, as OS' evolve it will be harder 
and harder to assure sup****t for the s/w.

As Littleboy says ... pinch a few pennies (who needs a girlfriend 
anyway) and get the 9000 ED.

Cheers,
Alan.
