As a photographer, I have been using Pro Photo CD scans to turn out
portfolio prints...
I'm thinking about buying a flatbed and would like the
list's thoughts and recommendations about what's currently available in
the $1000 range. How would the results compare to the Pro CD scans
(dMax, etc.)?
I don't believe ANY sub-kilobuck flatbed is going to give you results
anywhere near Pro CD.
You don't mention your format. If you're a 35mm shooter, I'd suggest
sinking that kilobuck into a dedicated film/slide scanner. You'll get
MUCH better results than you will from any flatbed under a few grand.
And if you've saved a few extra pennies, you can get a superb film
scanner for ~$1500 -- Nikon, Polaroid, and Kodak all have very nice
machines in that price range.
