Don,
I got my Nikon Coolscan 5000 a few years ago on ebay. I paid about 1/2
of that. It came with great software that does amazing restoration of
color (old red slides ), can eliminate some/most scratches, and can
pull up images from an almost black slide.
Since I was doing many professoinal presentations at the time and
wanted to archive my thousands of slides from Europe and Asia
it was worth it to me. Some of my images are 30 -40 years old and
really in bad shape. Powerpoint lectures are a large part of what I
present at workshops.
It can also crop and enlarge portions of slides , so I can emphasize
certain aspects in case I missed taking the photo originally.
Doing this can take time. I read that using the 50 slide feed can jam
the machine. I do them individually and am amazed at the quality
produced.
