I have a Canon 9900F which absolutely wiped the floor with an equivalent Epson 4800dpi scanner doing a side-by-side comparison. So that gives you some idea of the technical accuracy and honesty of the resolution figures quoted by Epson et al. Scanner resolution ought to be quoted in PPI (Pixels per Inch) or Line Pairs per Millimetre, and not DPI - DPI is for printers.

I'd be more concerned about how well their scanning software works with my computer's operating system. I'm sure either scanner will work for your purposes as Alan mentioned, don't get too wrapped up in the manufacturers' resolution claims. The 6400 scan resulted in a 459MB GIF file, while the 300 scan resulted in a 32MB GIF file. I did a comparison of a 6圆 negative, one scan done at actual size at 6400 ppi, and another done at 300 ppi sized at 12". I use an Epson V700 with either the Epson or SilverFast software. However, since most of my scanning is done for making 8.5x11 prints or publication, I usually scan film at 300 ppi at the size I need, mostly around 12".

Even so, many people do archive their film by scanning it at actual size at the highest optical resolution of the scanner - the thought being that they can resize the file to four feet or whatever size they might want to print in the future. If you scan film at a scanner's maximum resolution you'd better have a powerful computer and lots of storage. Maximum Resolution: 19,200 x 19,200 dpiĪny suggestions? Any experiences with either of these brands or models? CANON 9000F: Optical Resolution: 9600 dpi. EPSON V600: Optical Resolution: 6400 dpi. Have photoshop, so will mostly edit with that but am open to a better editor that comes with the scanner. Just want a fast, good, reliable scanner to capture both old black and whites, old family photos and more recent ones too. Does the higher resolution really make a difference in the scans? These are mostly for pics, but do have tons of negatives and some slides. These are the two models I decided on but not sure which brand to go with. I am leaning towards the Epson V600 due to all the great reviews I heard, the ICE software but Canon seems to scan a little better. I read the reviews on here but am wondering if it is critical getting a higher dpi in a scanner. There's also the possibility that the larger CCD will provide improved speed at the lower resolution, and the improved power management may add up over time.Looking to buy a Canon 9000F or Epson V600. If you tend to crop deeply, though, the extra resolution might be helpful. So for many people, the cheaper 8800F will continue to suffice. To put the resolution boost in context: at 4,800dpi, you can generate a scan of a 35mm slide or negative that will print optimally as large as 14x21 at 300dpi a 9,600dpi scan doubles that in both directions.

Here's how it compares with its cheaper sibling, as well as its main competitors:ĩ,600x9,600 (positives and negatives) 4,800x4,800 (reflective)ġ2 negative frames 4 slides 120/220 formatģ0 negative frames 16 slides 2 120 frames 1 220 frame That said, Canon's latest CanoScan, the 9000F, follows up the veteran photo scanner at about $50 more, with a resolution boost for slide and film scans and improved power consumption. Though it's closing in on 3 years old, which is practically ancient in many of the other product categories we cover, there isn't a lot of technological development either, so it's refreshing not to be barraged with artificially differentiated products for a change. Canon's CanoScan 8800F has been enduringly (and somewhat endearingly) popular on our site, despite the fact that we've never reviewed it.
