Since I am doing a fine art project with 4x5, if the new scanners are better, I just may sell the V700 if I can recoup some of the cost and upgrade.

It's not my intention to hi-jack this thread, however could somebody provide a comparison between the 700-750 and the older Microtek i900?
I scanned just over 3000 negs (black & white) with an i900 and was very pleased with the quality.
In addition about 1/3 of the 3k were 3 X 4's which I had a special adapter made to fit the 4 x 5 holder, which worked out great (although not perfect; leaving a transparent border on one edge.
Looks to me like this might be a v700/v750 with different holders and lightsource?
I'm still not clear if the new scanners will do my 5x7s? Or are they size limited to 4x5?

I suspect they'll have the same max 8x10 size transparency adapter but it only comes with a 4x5 holder. Probably the same film area guide as previous scanners will be included.
