Canon CanoScan FS-4000US

 

Until recently, 4,000-dot-per-inch (dpi) film scanners were expensive and complicated. The new Canon CanoScan FS-4000US ($995 list)—announced soon after Nikon's similar offering (First Looks, May 8)—brings another affordable, easy-to-use scanner to the...

Digital Film Scanners - Canon FS-4000 Scanner Review, Information, and Specifications

 

High end "personal", (very) inexpensive "professional" film scanner, 4000 dpi resolution (65 meg file from 35mm negative!), 14 bits per channel, dual USB & SCSI interface

Combining some of the most advanced features on the market (14 bit A/D, 4000 dpi, IR-based dust removal technology) with a sub-$1,000 price point, the CanoScan FS4000US sets a new benchmark for affordable, high quality film scanning. We were amazed by...

If you want a 4000dpi scanner with dust removal, this one is a bargain. If you want the ability to scan APS film it's even more of a bargain as it comes complete with an adapter for APS film! The scan quality is very high and the price is reasonable.

Superb scanner

 

Superb scanner

Highest Resolution In Its Class \nDetail is everything; and the FS4000US ensures each image looks its best. With 4000dpi optical resolution, you won't find any other scanner in this class that exceeds it. More resolution means more details show,...

Very Satisfied

I've been using the FS4000 since January. I previously had a 2400dpi Minolta DImage II(I believe!) that kept on freezing up and was exceptionally slow. I can't comment in absolute terms about the speed of the FS4000 but it is certainly way faster than...

Canon CanoScan FS2710

 

I use this scanner mainly to scan from colour & B&W neg at the max dpi. The results are then used on the web, publishing and printing onto conventional photographic paper using an online lab. Kodachrome is very difficult to scan. Blacks tend to be...

Price

Scanning contasty slides (Kodachrome) is very tricky.

Product Specifications

The CanoScan 2710 is the affordable high performance film scanner for professionals and photo-enthusiasts that require exceptional quality scans of 35mm or Advanced Photo System films. It offers like the award winning CanoScan 2700F an optical resolution of 2720 dpi, but the new film scanner boasts a powerful 36 bit output resulting in a 68-billion-color recognition and a 3.2D optical density range. The Canon film scanner is equipped with the specially designed CANALY (Color Adjustment for Negative Automatically) to improve the scanning results from color negative films where the film base color needs to be compensated for. This scanner comes standard with the CanoCraft FS 3.6 driver that is designed to work with Windows 95/98 and Windows NT4.0 operating systems. It also enables transfers of 36bit color images to Adobe Photoshop 4.0 LE. Again Canon offers an 'out of the box solution' by adding all necessary cables, SCSI II card, a complete software package, the Advanced Photo System Adapter and 35 mm film holder to the actual film scanner. The CanoScan 2710 features the SCSI II card enabling images to be scanned within 13 seconds flat. And equipped with the film holder and adapter these images can origin from a variety of film formats.
