Looking for a scanner

Lorand · 05-24-2004, 01:16 AM

Hi everybody!

I am looking for a professional scanner at an affordable price. This is almost impossible, but worth a try. I didn't find any scanner from 5.000$ to 30.0000$ and it seems that all the scanners below 5000$ are suitable only for home use.
Recently tested an Umax Powerlook 2100 XL Pro (3.000$) and the results was more than disappointing... It sounds incredible, but the scanning results were better on a very low-end Canon Lide 30 (75$) than on the Umax.
I would appreciate if anyone can guide me to a good scanner with a price of only four digits.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip, I will soon test the Canon CS9900F.
As about Umax, I think it's much to expensive for what quality it offers, so I will not buy one...
