Customer Reviews:

It does not come with Silverfast SE/AI 6.0 [Posted on 2005-01-14]
I got my order 2 days ago. When I open the box and take a look, the software bundle DOES NOT INCLUDE LaserSoft Silverfast SE.It only come with Microtek ScanWizard. However,it seems, the Microtek ScanWizard is usable. I scan a 4"x5" negative and it seems to work ok, I think that I need to play with the scanning software some more to see if I can get it right.

I will submit my detail review later on...

Nothing but trouble [Posted on 2005-06-09]
Quirky software and poor documentation make this scanner more trouble than it's worth. Once installed, you can't get some of the bundled software off. The scanner takes forever to warm up and start scanning... even if you just scanned something seconds before. Stay away from this one.

Inconsistant quality  [Posted on 2006-04-04]
When I first got this scanner it was great, I loved the size and the color handeling was pretty much spot on. However, only 6 months in, it has developed a light area where it scanns color images lighter down the side than over the rest of the scan bed. This has come to be unacceptable in some highly critical scans. As much as I would like to love this scanner, I would not buy one again or recommend one - unfortuante.
