[filmscanners] Nikon Coolscan V vs Minolta Elite 5400

["Berry Ives" <yvesberia@earthlink.net>]

Upgrading from Minolta Scan Dual II, I was about to be name brand loyal when
I discovered that there are many who really swear by the Nikon.  That's from
just reading user reviews that are out there at various web sites.

I remember a long time ago on this list reading posts about some issue that
that occurs more often with the Nikon scanners due to the LED light source.
I don't remember what that was, and it may have been resolved by now in any
case.

What I have read is that the software and documentation is better with the
Nikon, lower noise, sharper lens, etc.  The resolution by itself would favor
the 5400, since the Nikon is 4000.

I am interested in your ideas and opinions about this.  My objective is to
print the best 13x19 prints I can print on an Epson 2200 on W/C paper using
PS-CS and Zeiss, shooting negative film.
