Bernie,
The Sprintscan 4000 is currently available but
will be running out well before the end of the year is my guess. When they are
gone they will be gone.

Is it
the 4000 or the 4000+ that's currently available? I couldn't tell from a
quick look at the Polaroid website. I did notice that the rebates appear
to have been extended until January 31st -- a good thing, no doubt.

David.
Yes, it is better but depending on your use and requirements is it worth the
extra money? Silverfast has developed a multi-scan function for the 4000+
that I am told works well. Have not seen it myself.
I would imagine one could develop a test that showed the differences but I
am not sure you would see that much difference on a practical basis.
One thing I have found out is in the film scanner community one mans
definition of great/wonderful can be less than adequate for another man.
Frankly and at least based on US pricing it is tough to beat the present
Sprintscan 4000 deal.

This is really a question for David Hemingway but maybe others have
experience...
How much better is the SS4000 + compared to the 'old' 4000? On paper it's
a better bit depth, am I correct? The Firewire doesn't matter, are the
results noticeably better?
And, just for 35mm, will the SS120 produce a better scan than the SS4000
or the 4000+?
