![]() ![]() The optics in the SmartScan 3600 aren’t particularly sharp, negating any advantage the higher resolution might confer. But we found that the SmartScan 3600 didn’t extract any more usable detail than the other scanners it just made a bigger file. ![]() The SmartScan 3600 captures 3,600 ppi, so you might expect that it would produce the most detail. The SmartScan 2700 has the lowest resolution of the four, with a maximum optical resolution of 2,700 ppi, followed closely by both Minolta scanners, with 2,820 ppi. It’s tempting to equate a scanner’s resolution - the number of pixels per inch (ppi) it captures - with its ability to capture detail from film. The two Minolta scanners are almost identical they differ in that the more expensive Dimage Scan Elite II includes Applied Science Fiction’s Digital ICE surface-defect removal and Digital GEM grain-reduction technologies. The SmartScan 3600 offers automatic batch scanning of film strips containing as many as six frames, and it has more sophisticated editing features than its less expensive sibling. The SmartScan 2700 is a bare-bones but capable scanner.
