Love that this product is so compact. I have always been afraid that my archived negatives and slides might get accidentally damaged and I will lose those photos forever. Now I have a digital archive at very high resolution. I love it.
Easy to work with and way better then my old Minolta 5400 that had software issues.
The scanner may be decent but the software is simply awful. You can change the scanner settings in multiple places but changing the settings in one screen doesnt seem to change the same setting in a different screen. The badly designed software renders this product so frustrating to use that I sold it on[...].

Scannner much too slow when using the special features

Excellent quality, but a little slow. But since I am basically scanning "old" slides once it does the job.

I am using it to scan family and travel slides, some from 30+ years ago. The removal of dust and scratches from old slides is magical, and the resolution is great. The challenge is to find a useful task during all those 40-60 second periods when the scanner is working, and I'm idling.

I have been impressed by the operation of the scanner, especially its ability to remove dust and scratches from the image while scanning. This feature does add to scan time, but even with it turned on, scan times are acceptable. The single slide adapter is easier to use than multiple-slide clips in other scanners - if you're not going to spend the money for an automatic feeder, one-at-a-time is the way to go.

I am quite satisfied with the CoolScan V. Easy set-up with Windows XP. Was able to produce first scan within 20 minutes of opening the box. Digital ICE does a fine job of removing dust/debris particles. I am very pleased with the resolution and color accuracy of my E-6 slide scans.

The system works slower than anticipated, but results are excellent, especially in color negatives. Color positives or B&W negatives are better handled by rephotographing them with a micro-nikkor lens on a lightbox, using flash to expose. Works much faster.

I use this scanner at home to scan all my slides now. This easily beats out using my HP Scanjet with the slide adapter. The colors are better as well as the resolution, among other things.

My first step into the digital world was spending weeks on end scanning thousands of negatives and slides with my Nikon Coolscan. I have since made some amazing digital prints 13x19 and larger from the files. The software is pretty easy to navigate around. The operation may seem a little slow at times, but the results are well worth it.

Good results BUT very slow...Not good for converting large numbers of slides to digital images

This Nikon Scanner is good. I got it because I trust Nikon, but not enough to get a Digital Camera yet. So, I went for this scanner and I am getting better reading of my negatives.
The only con I found is that with the Software provided you can't clean B&W film from specks, but I found that you can do this using VueScan and even get multiscan and multi exposure readings.
Other than that, excellent scanner for a good price.
