Jay: The 3200 did not turn out to be the quantum jump from the 2450 that the marketing hyped resolution numbers promised, so it may be naive to think the 4800 will be better, -no matter how much pre-conditioned salivating goes on from those easily tantalized by hype. The LF flatbed scanner market really needs a quantum jump and if it comes, my guess is that it will be in a different form that the conventional flat bed. The Microtek i900 could be that, who knows? At least it offers glassless transparency scanning and 'promises' higher Dmax (4.2) than current or announced scanners. Whether that is true it remains to be seen. I'd wait until the cards are up before deciding. You can see the Microtek at http://www.microtekusa.com/images/i900.pdf
