It depends on how you see it, I think Nikonscan is the best and most capable
scanner driver I have seen, not experience any hang up as other reported
(Windows is tricky, not everyone has same lucky) and no consumer level
scanner can challenge the LS4000ED :-)
I have tried Minolta Scan Speed, the once top of the line Minolta scanner
which was in the same age of my LS2000, the color accuracy of the Minolta
was not as good for slide. Two years ago I had exchange my LS2000 with my
friend's (who is a professional landscape photographer) Minolta Scan Speed
for two weeks, he was not happy with the color saturation of his Minolta and
I was not happy with the resolution of my LS2000, but finally we both not
satisfy with deal and switched back.

They are talking about scanner ES-10, not E-10. E-10 is good except the
noise, poor focusing, too large in size, very slow for photo display, max
shutter only 1/640s, serious chroma at the wide end.....Ok, I still love it.
