Lets just say my experience is completely opposite from yours. The first of
three Nikon scanners I owned was the original Coolscan and I agree that it
showed Nikons long experience in Photojournalism scanning tools as it
handled neg scans better than most other offerings at the time (94?). It
was a groundbreaking product but it was quickly surpassed by competitors.
Success with that scanner and loyalty to other Nikon products kept me
throwing money at more Nikon scanners (through the LS4500) while being
extremely disappointed mainly because of software. I haven't touched a
Nikon scanner for two years so maybe they've cured all of their many ills by
now but considering the pace at which they release software updates I'd be
surprised. I've used offerings from Polaroid, Linocolor, SilverFast, and
Imacon... any one of which could get me a better neg scan with far less
effort than Nikon.
