Title: Lots of Slides to Scan? READ THIS FIRST!
Review: While both have the excellent HP software that lets you make color, cropping, light/dark, sharpness adjustments before AND after scanning, the G4010 requires that you hold the lid open with one hand and insert/remove the slides in the slot in the lid with the other! The slot is wide enough for the plastic negatives insert and too wide for slides so they tend to overlap each other. It can be difficult to get them to stay straight. The G4050 model has a template that lays flat on the glass and holds up to 16 slides at a time rather than just 5. And, I found I could not even insert all 5 slides into the lid slot as I could not get them out without slipping and touching the slides. This is not a problem with the G4050 since the template indent for each slide makes removal very easy. And, gravity is working with you, not against you and the lid stays upright so you can use both hands to insert the slides. The G4050 is definitely worth the extra $$!
