If you were thinking of buying the Plustek OpticFilm 7500i AI for its headline-grabbing 7200dpi resolution, you might feel a little disappointed. The real resolution of the scanner is apparently somewhere just below 4000dpi. But I'll hasten to add that...

7200 DPI Scanning ability out of a 35mm negative ; No moving parts and relatively easy to use after hardware is installed ; Good professional grade piece of hardware ; QuickScan menu settings are easy to use ; Nice carrying bag for transport ;...

Expensive and way over kill for the average consumers needs ; Too many languages on the box and instruction manuals ; SilverFast Ai Studio is confusing to use ; High resolution scans take at least 4 minutes per image ; Manual feeding of slide holder...

I thought the film and negative holders seem a bit flimsy for a higher end product. When you close the lid on the negative, the negative seems to still move around inside the enclosure.

Quality, high-resolution scans

Silverfast's excessive amount of tools is confusing

The OpticFilm 7500i SE is a good performer, with scanning times that vary due to some features requiring more processing time. Using a dual Intel processor, a straight scan at 7200 dpi/48 bit took on average two minutes coming into Photoshop as a...

handy size, good image reproduction and transfer etc

Maximum resolution of 7200dpi. Silverfast.

For professional output, scannining at 7200dpi is essential, prior to downsizing - this gives better results than the 3600dpi option. This makes scanning a bit slow. An option of scanning 5400dpi might be a useful compromise. iSRD doesn't do anything...

Easy to use (only scanned slides so far, but I don't expect any problems with negs).

Two software items in the bundle, and not easy to sort out initially. Some of the 'help' areas were less than helpful! However, as with any complex programs, ease of use improves as experience is gained.

great results for a lot less money than the nikon

a lot slower than the 7200 because of the infrared and multi exposure features

Plug and play on XP. Scans slides and film with no problems. Silverfast software very easy to use when altering color balance and contrast. First rate so far

None so far. Haven''t tried it on my Vista machine as yet

Best choice of 35mm scanners currently on market. Less than half the price of the Nikon. Very good scan can be made with the 7500iSE

SilverFast is just OK. VueScan ($40) is a better choice. As with ALL scanners and scans, post work in Photoshop is needed for best results
