I can't speak about the specific units you folk are talking about,
but my Polaroid film scanner (model 7000) is called a "4K" unit. It
puts down 4096 pixels by 2732 pixels (from memory, ...it's about that)
using std 35mm format.  This is about 2700 dpi that it lays down
onto the film.  From what I've been able to tell searching the web,
their "8K" unit isn't supposed to gain much on 35mm film (but greatly
on larger format films).
