Title: might want to consider Minolat 5400 instead
Review: I got mine yesterday. I made a few scans. The biggest concern I have is that they are not really sharp. I think the 5400 focus button is of great value here, and seems like a fast solution to get scans in focus. I decided against the 5400 because I read so much about the "green lines" problem and the higher price tag. Now my unit is defect as well. 2/3 of the slide is in normal color while 1/3 of the same slide is in different color ( this was for all slides and all scans ). So I am going to return it and try the 5400. Finally about the comments below with the blinking green light. I cannot say for sure but this might be an operator error. The scanner needs to be booted like a computer. It boots when you start the scan utility and only then you can scan. That being said mine is defective as well so it might not be the best model on the market. There was a time when people did QA.......
Is the review positive or negative?
