CANOSCAN 9000F REVIEW UPDATE

The main issue in today’s top-notch scanners is in my opinion not the resolution as most scans beyond 1200 DPI is for highly specialised jobs such as fabric quality control, antique coin inspection and such. In order to be able to open and edit a 9600 DPI scanned stamp for instance, you’ll probably need at least 4 Giga RAM and a decent photo editing package, because the file-size resulting is larger than 100 MB encapsulated, and may open to occupy some 6 to 800 MB of RAM when active on an editing mode.įor scanning any area larger than the size of a postage stamp, you’ll probably need an industrial workstation configuration. A true pro knows that scanning resolutions isn’t just limited to the scanner’s optical resolution, but rather the computer’s hardware and software’s ability to open and edit the enormous bitmap files resulting from such resolutions.įrom actual experience with this particular model and Canon’s LiDE 700 I can testify that their declared optical resolution is valid for actual use, only it produces giant files, whic not every PC configuration is capable of opening. Joe Sixpack’s skepticism is uncalled for. Then a dedicated film scanner like the Plustek 7600i would be the better choice. If you’re going to scan no photographies at all, but 35mm slides and negatives only,

CANOSCAN 9000F REVIEW UPDATE

I recommend the CanoScan 9000F to anyone looking for an all-round device, at least taking also the cheapest SilverFast SE version.Īmbitious photographers should update to a higher version including IT8 color calibration for a color-true CMS. SilverFast is the best scanner software you can get, but it’s quite expensive. It seems, that the 9000F is bundled with SilverFast in europe, unfortunately not in the US. Remember how expensive the quality scanners were some years ago. The scanner i available for around $ 240,- Wow, what a prize. It scans also any original, reflective as well as transmissive material different film holders are included.

The 9000F is quiet, fast and comfortable to use. The white LEDs are a bright, but energy saving light source, that needs no warm-up time. Don’t expect to achieve this enormous values in practice, but the CCD sensors capture enough details for large printing.
