Nikon forged new ground with their "CoolScan" family of slide and film scanners, the "Cool" in the name referring to the use of LEDs as the light source, rather than an incandescent lamp. Their earlier Super CoolScan LS-1000 was by any measure an excellent scanner, but with the LS-2000, Nikon has achieved dramatic improvements, and significantly raised the bar for the entire field of desktop scanners. There are later scanners (most recently the 9000) but this is a high quality scanner that remains afordable.  With a retail price of less than $2,000 US, the LS-2000 set a new standard for desktop scanning, and introduced a near-magical technology for automatically removing dirt and film blemishes.   The Nikon LS-2000 Super CoolScan Film Scanner is designed with businesslike efficiency in mind, offering a desktop digital color scanner adapted for 35mm film in strip or slide format. With photo enthusiasts in mind, the Super CoolScan features superb color accuracy and 2,700 dpi optical resolution. All these advantage tally up to premium quality and resolution with 36-bit color images in file sizes up to 58 MB. Nikon's Color Management System allows you to produce expeditiously sharp scans with notably true-to-life colors. Top-quality output is the paramount concern behind the design of the compact (5.5 pounds) Super CoolScan. You can scan 35mm film strips or slides and Advanced Photo System film. Adapters permit an exchange of film types without resetting the scanner or software. The average scan time is approximately 20 seconds at 2,700 dpi optical resolution. LED technology provides unadulterated, dependable color without requiring recalibration and supports work in 1 of 10 RGB color spaces, plus CMYK. The multisample scanning feature permits automatic removal of surface imperfections from your scans and a high dynamic range of 3.6. The Nikon LS-2000 Super CoolScan's compatibility with both PC and Mac is particularly convenient for business needs. For more scaling options, the LS-2000 scanner is bundled with Altamira Genuine Fractals software.
