Nikon Coolscan 5000 review
3 of 4 found this helpful For those like me who put off the purchase of a good slide scanner, it is too late. Nikon quit making both the Coolscan 5000 and 9000 a couple of years ago and the only alternative is a less desirable flat bed scanner. However, good scanners are still available on Ebay, but for an price up to three times the original. They are worth it. I chose the Coolscan 5000 because it appears to be more directly set up for slides while the 9000 handles a variety of formats. The Coolscan 5000 is precise and creates an accurate digital depiction of the slide it is scanning. A stack loader type devise can also be used to process them because the scanning process does take time. The scanner includes digital ice to clean dust and specks off the slides, but using canned air is recommended. The software takes some learning, but it is easy to obtain clean, sharp and satisfactory results. There is a specific setting for Kodachrome which was my main slide film. The only drawbacks are that it does take some time to scan each slide, more than just a few seconds, and the machine makes a bit of noise. These are minor issues. I am very happy that I finally obtained one, but be sure to check the machine when it arrives. Through experience from a non-Ebay vendor, I found that rough handling due to poor packaging can damage them.
