Best film scanner in its class: the Nikon Coolscan V ED.

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2004
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended as a professional film scanner at a reasonably price. This should become the standard by which all others are judged.
Review: Introduction

I teach digital photography and I own a compact digital camera. I enjoy both of them thoroughly. The convenience of digital photography is unquestionable, but the image quality has been more than questionable for many years...

Nikon Coolscan V Scanner -- after 600 slides review

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: An excellent scanner for someone looking to save their memories from fading into darkness. Very easy to use.
Review: My dad purchased a Nikon Coolscan V scanner recently, and I took over the job of scanning over 30 years of memories, long forgotten in shoeboxes and shelves high up and out of sight. The scanner works very well in obtaining high-resolution digital...

Not great for massive jobs, buggy Mac software

Date of Review:  May 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: OK but clumsy, buggy software
Review: I've been using the CoolScan V ED for about a month. Since I've switched to a digital camera and I'm now making my own prints, I want to digitize all my negatives so I can archive them to DVD and throw away the bulky film. I've been taking 35mm...

Impressive performance

Date of Review:  Sep 19, 2004
Review: I didn't know anything about scanners but I needed one as I love shooting with film, but I like post-processing my pictures.
So I followed the recommendations of the main reviews and forums I could see and went for this Coolscan. Minolta's scan...

Excellent scanner

Date of Review:  May 30, 2005
The Bottom Line: Scans come out beautifully; once set up is completed, it is relatively easy to use and plenty of ways to adjust the final product.
Review: I have scanned in a total of maybe 1,000 slides. The scanner is great in handling a variety of slides in different conditions. It handled everything except the very worst ones that were completely washed out. The slides came out excellent, with...

Unreliable Product and Poor Support

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2007
Review: I put my new Nikon Coolscan V Ed into service and found that it worked for about six hours. Then it broke down and ceased to function. I sent it overnight to the company for service under their one year warranty. They have supposedly been working on...

Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2009
Review: While I am pleased with the scanner itself, I am very disappointed with Nikon's lack of driver support. I recently updated to a computer running Vista 64 and discovered that this expensive scanner is not is not supported with an appropriate driver...

Excellent value, performs very well

Date of Review:  Jan 6, 2006
Review: I have scanned about 20 images now and I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed. The overall resolution, detail and contrast is outstanding, not to mention the Digital ICE touch-ups. I also don't experience the slowness that others have reported...

Excellent investment if preserving the past

Date of Review:  Oct 4, 2005
Review: Excellent scanner. almost too easy to get started. Takes a little while of playing to change the defaults to what you want. Was able to restore everything but the poorest. Still lost some from fungus, but so fat have scanned 400 of an eventual 2000...
