I'm hoping the 750 will replace the 3 scanners I'm using now - an Epson 3200 for 8x10 prints and 4x5 film, a Polaroid Sprintscan 120 for MF and 35mm film, and an old Epson Expression 800 pro for 8x10 film. We'll see when it arrives next week.
Any word on how the 750 compares head-to-head with the 4990?
Jack,
In my travels either here or on the P.net site... there was info that said this scanner does better at some things than the 4990 and vice versa. I'll try to find the link.
Or, one of the experts will hopefully wade in (Ted? Are you there? ) here.
At the end of the day... this is the one I'm waiting for. However, it'll probably not arrive in Canada for another year!!!! Just kidding!
Cheers

Henry,
Been off instructing at a workshop since Thursday night and virtually no access to the internet.
AFAIK there are so far no objective full evaluations of the V750. My suspicions are that the earlier post on some things better than the 4990 and others not as good will be the case but that remains to be seen.
I just got a V700 for evaluation from Epson and will start to put it through its paces this week. I am told I am #1 on the list for a 750 evaluation unit as we are the primary audience for that machine. Got my fingers crosseed that will happensoon.
I will some real information on the 700 in a few days and will let everyone know when the 750 arrives.
Ted:
If we can put in our wish-list, I really would like to know how the 700 and 750 stack up against the 4990 -- especially on scanned LF emulsions
Vincent at photo-i has done a full review of the 700 and 4990, and is in the middle of a 750 review. So what is your piont concerming an "objective full evealuation"?

I for one would appreciate reading Ted's evaluation. Perhaps, different people will do their evaluations differently and come up with an alternative point of view. Is there a problem with someone else conducting a review? :>O
Or, are we to assume that... because Vincent at photo-i has done a "full review of the 700 and 4990, and is in the middle of a 750" that we should somehow just accept his review as gospel? :>|
So, again, your point is?
Cheers

Historically, every flatbed scanner produced by Epson since the 2540 has overstated their "resolution" approximately by a factor of 2x (proven by head-to-head comparisons to drum scans that I have performed. This is due to a combination of "stepping" -- i.e. a form of interpolation, and cheap lenses). I would thus expect this new "6400 dpi scanner" from Epson to deliver "only" about 3200 real dpi -- and probably capable of only delivering even that only in the center of the scanning area.
Still, that is VERY respectable and is more than enough for any large-format specialist. (medium format would still likely to be slightly better off w/ dedicated scanner such as Nikon or Imacon, but of course, those cost much much more) I'm expecting this to be quite a decent machine regardless of its relatively low cost.
