Nikon has some fancy software (digital ICE) which can distinguish dust on the slide from actual elements of the image. This would save a bunch of post-scan retouching time. Currently the LS-2000 seems to be the best consumer scanner available. HOWEVER, I strongly recommend against purchasing the LS-2000 or any other consumer scanner until after you have had a photoCD made of your work. Even if you go with an overpriced PhotoCD vendor charging $2 a scan, you will save money, get better results, and most importantly, not have to sit infront of a computer for 100 hours scanning and retouching. - -Rolf
