Lots of ways to stretch the truth without 
outright lying.

Let's put it this way.  If the Nikon film 
scanners are 4000 dpi, these film/flatbeds 
aren't anywhere close to that in terms of 
sharpness.

IOW... if you expect a correlation between 
scanner dpi and sharpness, the film/
flatbed scanners almost always come up 
short, compared to dedicated film scanners.
