I thought long and hard about the Polaroid Sprintscan 4000 vs. the Nikon
LS-2000, but being the lazy sort went with the Nikon because of its Digital
Ice 'dust removal' technology. This really works extremely well, and
markedly reduces the need for manual 'dust removal' in the image editor.
If you are going to make prints bigger than 8x10, the extra pixels of the
Sprintscan might be useful, however.
