Title: Great value; great performance! Review: Contrary to the experience of another reviewer, dust was not at all a noteworthy problem in my unit. The vast majority of the dust specks I have scanned were above the glass and on the pictures scanned. Users must be careful to clear these areas of dust prior to scanning. I found a dust-removal (anti-static) spray helpful in this regard. The extremely few specks of dust under the glass were no more numerous than in a more expensive ScanJet I have used many times at my workplace.The image quality in the scans is tremendous compared to other scanners I have seen. The texture of the photographic paper is clearly visible in higher resolutions, for example. The colors are also more true to the original image than in the other scanners I have experienced recently. The film-scanning attachment is a great deal at this price-point. I have used this unit quite a bit to scan photos and slides at resolutions up to 1200dpi, and I have been very pleased with the results. Is this product review negative?

Title: disappearing icons Review: Bought the camera beginning of December. Used it 5 days and almost all the indentifying print marks on the camera (camera name, button icons (the ones that identify which button do what) all rubbed off!! I now have a camera with almost no printing on it at all. I have never seen that before. The camera didn't get wet, it was kept in a soft camera bag. Also, everyone's commments that you can't see anything on the LCD in bright sun or in dark rooms is true. I missed some terrific shots of whales in the Pacific because of not being able to see anything on the screen and also couldn't see anything on the LCD in a restaurant/club. When it works, it's great--image stabilization is worth the price--but I was disappointed not being able to see more on the LCD, and I couldn't believe the ink wore off the camera. I returned it--this is poor quality manufacturing. Is this product review negative?
