Files that used to be 25 MB at maximum scanning resolution with the 2000 are 65 MB with the 4000. I've also ordered the roll-film adapter that is supposed to be here this week. I'll be able to scan in a whole roll of uncut film to make contact sheets and edit them quickly. The added grain reduction software and color restoration software also work great. Hope this helps! Tina >>> Note that if you use the Silverfast plug-in you can scan at 5400 dpi with the LS-2000 which gives an over 100Mb file. More than I would be interested in handling! Silverfast also allows you to focus the scanner on any part of the image and I have found the results to be very good. Rob Modena, Italy (not so far from Bologna Italy).
