FWIW, Shutterbug mag contributor David Brooks says the CanoScan FS2710 is
about the best in its price class, just a shade better than the HP
PhotoSmart and Minolta offerings. OTOH, Ctein, he of the mysterious single
name, and technical photo guru in many disciplines, says the Minolta
(Dimage?) is very good.
Personally, when offerings from various manufacturers are ranked so closely
my strategy is to look at the software bundle and, in the case of film
scanners, whether SilverFast is available for a particular model.

John,
I too have been thinking about the 2710. One review I saw on the 2700 said
it stinks but the reviewer thought the 2710 was a VAST improvement, so
watch
out for opinions based on the earlier machine.
I want to scan slides to essentially have a dry darkroom. Image quality is
important to me. So is my bank account!
Good luck. If you think about it, please post your final decision on the
OM
list. I am interested to know what you do.
