Just for the record I have an Epson V700. I use it for 35mm slide
scans and have it at the ready for when I get a medium format camera
very soon.
It is brilliant and once I bought the better software which comes with
the 750 I was able to batch scan 24 slides (in a film strip of 6 each)
or 12 in their separate sleeves at a time.
That is a blessing in scanning trust me.
The scanners in this area (Epson V700, V750, Canon 8800F) are so much
closer to the traditional film scanners like the Nikon Film dedicated
film scanners.
Anything you buy in the multifunction range will fall short in my
opinion in the long run. That way you can update you printer down the
track separately without having to upgrade the scanner too. A good
scanner won't need upgrading as often as printer which usually wear
out/ date much faster.
ok thats my 2 cents worth
