Tom:
A question or two if I may?
I know you have a Polaroid SS 4000. The Polaroid site seems to imply that the
scanner has a DMax of 3.9. Is this the case.
I have tried a Canon FS2720 for a week and liked it a lot but it reports a DMax
of 3.2.
Is the difference in DMax what really differentiates the two scanners? I know
the Polaroid scans up to 4000 dpi compared to the 2720 dpi of the Canon but the
differentiation in DMax should result in much more detail in shadows and
highlights should it not?
You once mentioned that you thought the Kodak 3600 was worth a look. I have
tried to find a review of the scanner but have not been able to do so. The
price is $500/600 less in Canadian funds but the DMax does not seem to be as
high as that of the SS 4000.
So how important is the DMax figure in the purchase decision of a scanner?
Thanks,
Don Mabey
