Compare this with :-

Epson Perfection 4870 PRO
Our Price: $599.00*
Product In Stock

Superior 4800 x 9600 dpi resolution
48-bit color depth and exceptional dynamic range (up to 3.8 Dmax)
DIGITAL ICE™ Technology for Film and Photo Prints
Versatile, built-in transparency unit (6" x 9") with moving light

The older model costs $600 and the new one out in August seems to cost $199? What on earth are they doing?

BTW do you have any views on scanners for old black and white fils?

Is there the equivalent of Digital ICE for black and white. ICE doesn't work on b&w.

Best,
