I like it.......2004-01-14
It is simple to use and gives almost professional results for a much less than professional price. The HW based cleanup features work great, even on Kodachrome slides, though it slows the scanning process considerably. But hey, good things are worth waiting for. I use the scanner basically for two things: output for the internet and output for making prints. I can scan 4 slides at 72 dpi with no image cleanup in about 4 minutes, including loading and unloading the slides. The same 4 slides will take about 40 minutes with image correction turned on, at high enough resolution for 8x10 prints. The results are outstanding!
If you are serious about finally doing something with all those old family photos (slides or negatives), this is the scanner for you.
gets it done........2004-01-12
The software allows basic image manipulation, such as crop, rotate, chose resolution, size, etc. Additionally, it offers you to correct color gamma, exposure and focus. There are Photoshop like controls, if you'd like to apply changes to the image.
4 slides or 6 negative shots at a time. Not very noisy - just a high pitch sound with a little humming.
Don't base your opinion on one review from a guy with a faulty unit - what product doesn't have at least one not working unit?
Faulty design useless for serious work.......2003-12-31
Regarding my personal experience with this scanner, my unit was faulty right out of the box (the "green lines" problem, see forums for more). As of now my (less than one month "old") scanner has been at Minolta repairs service once where it was cleaned. NOTHING was actually done to repair the problem despite the truckload of info (including my original slides and their scans) that I'd assembled for the repairs service. In the next few days the scanner will be shipped out for repairs again but I have a big suspicion that my problem will be ignored just as the first time.
This is what I think about this. Yes, if you are lucky to get a perfectly operational unit, it would produce excellent scans for you. However, my feeling is that Minolta is pushing a poorly designed and tested product that is inherently faulty and susceptible to various quality problems. Currently the risk of getting such faulty unit is fairly high, and if you read this post then you know how you will be treated by Minolta repairs. Minolta appears not to be an honorable company. There is a big chance that if your unit is not operating as it should it will not be repaired but you will not get a refund for it either.

Probably the 2nd best 35mm film scanner, when it works........2007-06-11
This is my second Minolta 5400 scanner. The first one failed not even three months after purchase. It was exchanged after countless (international long distance) calls to Minolta USA. In all I was without a film scanner for over four months. The first unit refused to eject the film holder, no matter what. It seems a common ailment for this model, as I much later found out.
My present unit did the same a few months ago, long after the warranty had expired. I came to find good advice in (...) that permitted me to repair the unit --actually it was a film holder problem.
I wouldn't recommend this scanner to any one who is not very technically and mechanically oriented.
On the bright side, you won't find a better 35mm film scanner regardless of cost. It beats the finest enlarger fitted with the best lens. If you are still shooting film and can live with the quirks, by all means get one.
Good performance & High resolution.......2006-08-01
My personal experience has been that it has processed through hundreds, probably thousands, of slides without a hitch. Color rendering does not quite match my Velvia slides but otherwise I am quite happy. Only complaint (aside from the amount of time it takes to scan at 5400 dpi/16 bit) would be the focusing. I seem to spend a lot of time re-focusing, especially for images with a lot of empty space.
All in all, I would certainly consider this one again. The only other comparable model is the Nikon 5000 which is more expensive and has lower resolution.
This is all probably a bit of a moot point anyway. Minolta has sold off all of its photography interests to Sony. While they continue to support the existing ones, Sony does not seem to have any interest in developing or selling film scanners.
Great Product.......2006-01-30
worked great when it worked.......2005-12-19
Good luck.
Dissapointed
