: I've been saving up over the last year in order to purchase a film scanner. One I've considered is the Canon FS4000U. But, having kept an eye on this site and reading the posts, and other sources on the Internet, it seems like there are some real problems with the Canon - not in every case however. Any opinions as to a brand on my purchase? I'm not really a "money is no object" person, but I do want to go with something worthwhile! The reason I've been intrigued with the Canon is 4000 dpi resolution. I have about 20 years worth of slides and negatives to work with and can really only print up 8.5 by 11 inch. Is 4000 dpi really needed?
