I have been using RFS 3600 for the past several weeks and will say it is
nice.  I've been using Nikon LS2000 since they arrived.  Kodak has better
software and will take uncut rolls of film it will not do batch of mounted
slides.  If your primary use is negative material Kodak has slight edge.

I have had several small problems but can say that the tech telecom people
have been very helpful and good at solving the problems.

This has never been the case with Nikon to the day I picked up the Kodak and
the Nikon tech rep was there and asked why I was purchasing it and told him
part ot the reason was lack of support( I am NPS member).  I asked him about
latest software for LS2000 and he said he would get it for me...I still do
not have it, just email telling me where the Nikon site is located.

Happy snaps,
