I chose it since it is very small, connects up to the parallel port, is very inexpensive and is actually very fast. Since most of my scans are for use in Powerpoint presentations, I can scan my slides at 100dpi. It takes all of about 10-15 seconds to do a scan at this resolution. The higher the resolution, the longer it takes to scan a slide. My cost for this scanner was $425 through CDW. Their phone is 800-307-4239. I always run the autocorrect funstion for color/saturation and contrast in Photoshop 4.0 before insertion of the images into my presentations. I am very pleased with the results of this film scanner. I decided to go cheap since the technology continues to improve on a 6-12 month cycle. Maybe I'll update next year to another scanner but at this time, the Olympus does everything I need. Happy shooting, Richard - --------------------- Richard Clompus, OD West Chester, PA, USA
