Large Scans for reasonable Price

Pros: Small, clean design, convenient buttons onthe outside which fire up the software on your computer.
Cons: Scanning time on my G3 is long with full resolution and ICE. Manual is minimal.
So far I have been quite impressed with this scanner. Scans are big and beautiful. It will push your computer and my Mac G3 is feeling its age now trying to process these 200MB files. ICE does a great job but can make a scan take 20-45 minutes (a G4 or G5 would definately shorten this time). I have seen a review that told of the alignment being slightly off so that the crop wasn't quite square. This is true and angered me at first till I found the simple solution of tapping all the slides down to the bottom before inserting tray into scanner. Downloads to the computer are speeded up further with USB 2.0.
Preview scans and EasyScans are fast.
Manual could be a little more informative and a web site for sharing worflows/techniques and updates would be a smart move for Minolta.
