I'm debating upgrading to the Epson V850 Scanner from a 4870. But, I would appreciate user input on the V850 and its effectiveness. We primarily do reflective scans using the 4870, and it's all we need for that.
I've also done a few Provia 4x5 scans enlarged to 16x20 using the 4870 with which I've been pleased. But I'm considering scanning more than just a few in the future. What would be the advantages of upgrading to the V850 for that purpose. Note, I will not be scanning 4x5 color negatives.
One difference of which I'm familiar is the color management capability that comes with the V850. But the software and targets that I currently own far exceeds that capability.
As I understand it, the V850 light sources are based on LED technology. How does the LED lighting compare with the incandescent light sources that come with my current scanner. Would I be losing color gamut with the V850?
I would appreciate any insights that you have.
