The entire-roll scanning option on the 5000 (and 4000) indeed sounds really
nice, but does need careful thought. The add-on comprises a large drum
which fits on the back of thscanner, over the exit slot you mention. The
scanner draws the film into that drum and proceeds to scan - overnight, for
example. SO you return in the morning to find your whole film scanned at
4000 dpi with ICE and GEM applied which indeed is fine and dandy. AND your
film is spread on the desk/chair/floor, which isn't fine and dandy.
As I said, it needs thought!

Yes, mine is the V-ED. The batch feeder is the same for both it and the
5000. However, the 5000 has an exit slot out the back of the chassis.
Without the exit slot, the film will only feed so far. I'm sure the 5000
has a few additional brains to handle the extra thumbnails and stuff.

The ability to handle an entire roll at once is really nice, as well as the
fact that it is twice as fast as the V-ED. Otherwise, there is no
difference between the units.
