I'm not sure what to do. I need to buy a film scanner in the next week.<br>
I saw a comparison of the HP Photosmart and Coolscan and the Coolscan<br>
looked way better, with more saturated colours (although I don't know<br>
how much of that is software related and thus not Linux applicable). I<br>
havn't seen any comparison of the Canon 2700F.<br>
<p>
If you can get specs out of Nikon and the Nikon is better, I can help<br>
with development. So if you're going to do it, do it quickly.<br>
<p>
Any thoughts on Canon 2700F vs Coolscan III performance?<br>

<i>&gt; I have been posting on Nikon's Imaging Support Forum. So far, they have said</i><br>

<i>&gt; expect the scanner to send back, the scanner's command set. No answer to</i><br>
<i>&gt; that, so far.</i><br>

<i>&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; How hard would that be? Do Nikon release specs? I would consider doing</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt;&gt; it if it's not going to be some project that makes me tear my hair out.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; I believe Nikon releases the specs with no problems but I'm not sure.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; About how hard it is, I don't know. There is already a functioning</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; Nikon backend and chances are that things need not be changed too</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; &gt; much. Perhaps Didier Carlier knows more about this?</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; I have asked Nikon about the LS-30/LS-2000 interface specifications</i><br>
<i>&gt; several</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; times last year and the last time I checked, the only way to get them was</i><br>
<i>&gt; to</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; have a company or some other legal entity sign a non-disclosure agreement.</i><br>
<i>&gt; Of</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; course this policy may very well change at any time and at least it wasn't</i><br>
<i>&gt; a</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; plain 'no'...</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; As to how much the LS-20/1000 differ from the LS-30/2000 interface, I have</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; really no idea, sorry.</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; Best regards,</i><br>
