Has it happened to you? You return from a great photo trip just in time to drop your film off at the lab to take advantage of the overnight run. The morning counter person is not surprised to see you first thing in the morning, standing before a still locked door, to pick up those precious slides.

You hustle home, having edited out a group of images, one at each red light, and fire up the electronic workstation in your fortress of solitude. You begin your first scan when a sharp beep punctuates your stupor. You can’t believe it has been a half an hour all ready. You sag with disappointment to realize it will take until Thursday to finish scanning the first batch of slides.

Well, no more my friend. Nikon has just released a new family of slide scanners destined to end this foggy haze. The new Super Coolscan 5000 ED will zip out a full resolution scan in only 20 seconds, thanks to the new 2-line CCD sensor. This powerful unit delivers up to a 4000 dpi optical scan resolution transported through a Nikkor ED high resolution lens with a detailed packed maximum density of 4.8.

The new digital ICE 4 now contains four cutting edge image-correction components for operational efficiency. Digital ICE removes defects or scratches on the surface of the film without compromising detail. Digital ROC brings faded colors back to life. Digital GEM helps reduce film gain for sharper images. And the new Digital DEE activates the Dynamic Exposure Extender. This new tool helps reveal hidden details in both highlights and shadows and compensates for both under and over exposure. The speedy new Nikon Scan 4 software drives all of these great features.

Are you ready to save time and get more bang for your buck? We have them in stock at pictureline now*. Check out all three new scanners in the Nikon family, here in our Digital
Scanners section.

*The Super Coolscan 9000 (medium format) will be available sometime in February.
