Product Description
5400 dpi Input Resolution The DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 uses a 5300-pixel, 3-line CCD to achieve a resolution of 5,400 dpi 16-bit A/D Conversion With 16-bit A/D conversion, the DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 will reproduce the rich variations in tone and color of the original film image. 16-bit A/D conversion distinguishes 65,536 tonal gradations for each color channel. Grain Dissolver With today's very high resolution films the normal grain of the film itself can be quite noticeable in the image. Scanning with the Grain Dissolver function helps reduce this graininess, allowing a smooth creation of high-quality scanned images at the full resolution capacity of 5,400 dpi.

Digital ICE The awardwinning Digital ICE dramatically reduces the affects of dust and scratches as well as other surface contamination such as fingerprints. Pixel Polish Pixel Polish makes improving picture quality simple.

I like it
After about one month using this scanner, I am very happy with what I got for the money.In fact, I liked it so much I bought two!It is simple to use and gives almost professional results for a much less than professional price.The HW based cleanup features work great, even on Kodachrome slides, though it slows the scanning process considerably.But hey, good things are worth waiting for.I use the scanner basically for two things:output for the internet and output for making prints.I can scan 4 slides...

gets it done.
I like this scanner. It is very simple to operate for basic scanning, and it includes a great scanning software to help you with more complicated tasks. The value is incredible.

Faulty design useless for serious work

As of now my (less than one month "old") scanner has been at Minolta repairs service once...
