I'm looking into midrange flatbed scanners for capturing medium and large format images. I'm leaning towards an Epson 1680 Professional right now, but I noticed a new 48 bit, 2400dpi HP model that looks interesting.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this unit (Scanjet 7400C)? The re's no dmax spec listed which makes me a bit wary and the software is HP's prop rietary package instead of the AI's Silverfast. Still, at half the price of the Epson with a higher optical resolution, it is intriguing.

Anyone used this unit?
