I haven't really done any timing measurements, but the speed is reasonable.
It's not blazingly fast, but neither is it excessively slow. Yes, I've done a
batch scan of 30 frames, and it took about 30 minutes or so at 1200 dpi, which
I didn't think was terrible. It takes 15-20 minutes for a 48-bit 4800 dpi scan
of an Xpan frame (resulting in a file that's over 300 MB). Turning on the dust
and scratch removal causes the scan to take longer since it does a separate
infrared pass. I think that it does a better job with color negatives than the
Minolta SDII. Slide film is also good, but I haven't compared it with the SDII
in detail yet. As mentioned in the photo-i review, the image comes out of the
scanner soft, so you can't be squeamish about applying lots of USM.
