Cheap Minolta DiMAGE Scan Multi Pro Scanner with Firewire Kit (Electronics) (Windows 95, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Macintosh, Windows NT) Price

Among the scanner's extensive specs is the ability to support a range of film formats, from 35mm to 6-by-9 cm and scanning at resolutions up to 4,800 dpi. The DiMage offers "Digital ICE" (Image Correction Enhancement), which corrects image flaws such as fading or scratches, and bundled software that's remarkably intuitive. The software lets you control tone curves, brightness, contrast, color, hue, saturation, lightness, selective color, and pre/post correction comparison display.

With slide- and filmstrip-holders to position the film, the machine uses moving sensor, single-pass scanning technology. It includes film holders for a variety of media: 35mm Film Holder FH-P1, Slide Mount Holder SH-P1, Universal Holder UH-P1, Standard Attachment HA-P1, Glassless Attachment HA-P2, and Film Mask Set FM-P1 for 6-by-4.5-inch, 6-by-6-inch, 6-by-7-inch, 6-by-8-inch, and 6-by-9-inch medium-format masks.

With two interfaces, Ultra SCSI and IEEE1394 (FireWire), the DiMage reduces overall scanning time, and the 16-bit A/D conversion differentiates four times more color gradations than conventional 14-bit scanners do. The DiMage clearly stands out as an exceptional scanner for professionals who demand the highest in image quality, speed, and usability. It is backed by a one-year parts and labor warranty.
