Aw, c'mon. Give Epson a *little* break. The 1640 SU (which I own, and bought for $400 in Feb. 2001) was rated at 1600 dpi optical, and (in keeping with Epson tradition) probably good for 1/2 of its rated resolution. It was the first of the Epson "photo/flatbed" models. You can see samples of the Epson 4990 output, compared to other dedicated film scanners, on my scan snippets site: <http://www.terrapinphoto.com/jmdavis/> IMO, the 4990 rates about 2000 dpi or thereabouts. It's no Nikon, but at $400, what do you expect? The next step up is at least four or five times more expensive. rafe b www.terrapinphoto.com
