Pros: Price. Picture quality. Speed. Ease of use.
Cons: Hmmm... it's not a Nikon coolscan 4000.
Summary: I couldn't be happier with my Acer ScanWit 2720S film scanner. Wanting to get deeper into digital photography, I was about to buy a high resolution digital camera when my brother stopped me. He works at a digital photo lab. Too often he sees the bad ... read more

Summary: SEE BELOW FOR ANOTHER UPDATE:

Pros: Price, Adobe software, easy install (W98se), sharp color\B-W film scans
Cons: plastic film holders flimsy, no lessons on enlarging (learn here)

Pros: Great value, impressive results.
Cons: Bigger than most competitors
Summary: First impressions of this scanner is that it is about twice the size of
the Nikon Coolscan 3 but it is half the price. The build quality looks good and robust and installation of the included pci scsi card was strait forward. Be sure to follow the ... read more

Pros: Price, image quality, reliability, speed.
Cons: Flimsy carriers for mounted slides. Supplied software (buy Vuescan instead).
Summary: I've earned a large part of my living from my photography since 1987 and I bought the Acer Scanwit 2720S so I could put my negs and slides onto CD. I use Vuescan software rather than the supplied Miraphoto. This unit has given faithful service for
