CanoScan 8400: any sample scans?

[Witold]

Hi,

I'm interested in the Canon CanoScan 8400 flatbed scanner. This seems to be
a quite recent model and has a maximum optical resolution of 3200 dpi.

Does anyone have any sample 3200 dpi scans of 35mm film negatives taken
with this scanner that they can show?

Crops of regions with fine detail, blue sky areas, areas with skin tones,
and scans of landscapes with fine detail would be of great interest to me.
They would help me to evaluate the capabilities of this scanner.

At 3200 dpi the quality of the scans is very good. The review of the 9900 is
almost equal for the 8400 F.
Only minus is the scanning of 35 mm is very slow. When using Fare 3 it lasts
about 8 minutes to scan a 35 mm slide.

Thanks for your response. Do you know if the 8400's quality at 2400 dpi is
also quite good?

Seems a pity that the scans with Fare 3 and using 3200 dpi take so long. 8
minutes seems to be a very, very long time to scan/fix one slide. But I
suppose it is a flatbed scanner.

How long do scans of 35mm film with Fare 3 take? Scans at 3200 dpi and 2400
dpi would be the ones of main interest to me.

I only use 3200 dpi. I tried 1600 dpi and I didn't like the quality.
To scan a strip of 35 mm film (5 images) took about 20 minutes. But I didn't
need all the images of the strip.
I own the scanner now for three weeks and I am very content. The scantime is
not a problem for me.
When the scanner is scanning I can do something else on the computer.
Editing pictures with Photoshop for instance.
