As I have got a big stock of slides to scan, I won't buy the Plustek 7200ppi scanner, but wait until I have saved money for a better one. Density looks to be a real issue. Otherwise my current flatbed is an 8 year old, parallel port Plustek which cost less the half of major brands and still runs nicely. Moreover, unlike many others, my old Plustek runs not only on PCs but also on riscOS computers which is nice for me - this means that Plustek actually opened the specs for their scanners to enable third parties write drivers for virtually any machine/operating system. Tarek, I didn't see the Plustek 7200 in France but it is being advertised by two German shops on Ebay, just below 190EUR inc. VAT. VAT is "even" lower in Germany than in France (I won't say how much it is otherwise our US friends will think I am crazy) and D->FR shipping is often cheaper than FR->FR. Best Jean
