[filmscanners] RE: Polaroid Sprintscan 4000

["Hemingway, David J" <HEMINGD@polaroid.com>]

Production of the SS4000 has ceased and is being replaced by the SS4000 Plus
which is currently in production. Whatever is in dealer inventory is all
that is remaining.
B&H and Ecost got the last slug a week or so ago.

Does that mean that the SCSI SS4000 has been discontinued and is no longer
being made?

The Plus should be available between mid January and mid February. Spec's
have been set for many months, unit is in production, firewire  will be as
fast as SCSI, USB slower. I expect we will have no 35mm film scanners to
sell for 2 - 4 weeks as the 4000's have all left Polaroid.

I am also trying to buy a Sprintscan 4000 here in the UK.  The Polaroid rep
here said the Plus had not yet been released "officially" and whether
it would be was still under discussion as the "market was so
competitive".  He implied that the final product, if there was going to be
one, didn't have the final specifications set yet.  This may just be
comments for the UK, but if it is more general the SS4000  could be sold
out before a final decision is made what will happen with the Plus.
Maybe David Hemingway could offer more information.

Personally I am more interested in a SCSI than a USB connection as it
sounds like it could be quicker but what do others find in this regard?
