I'd contend that SCSI isn't fading away, but being complimented. Firewire
hasn't caught on all that well yet (although I do use it for my mini-DV
video camera).
Right now, for 35mm, the best scanner is probably (had to add the probably
so as to not start a flame war), the Polaroid Sprintscan 4000, as it has the
highest resolution, 4000dpi. It produces, roughly, 5500x3500 pixel images
(18mp) and the results are stunning.
