Minolta Elite 5400 II Scanner

MP Guy · 03-12-2005

Just ordered the new Minolta 5400 II which replaced the 5400. According to the specs it should yield a 42 megapixel scan. Do any of you have experience with this scanner?

Nope, I wish i had.
Did you manage to sell the old scanner you had?(multipro i think)

Just the old 5400. Let us know what the scan times are like with the new 5400 II. At max rez the old 5400 yields file sizes of around 30-40 mb for B&W and around 110 mb (8 bit colour) and 220 mb ( 16 bit colour).

If you do a lot of B&W the earlier version of this scanner may be preferred. I've seen more than one thread about this but below is a current one from PN:
