Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED Digital Scanner

The Super Coolscan 5000 ED offers 35mm and APS (IX240) film scanning at an amazing 20 seconds per image (including image transfer and display) - at 4000dpi true optical resolution. Highly accurate colour reproduction and fine detail are made possible by the 16-bit A/D converter and 16-bit output channel. The Coolscan 5000 ED is designed primarily for business users such as professional photographers and photofinishers, who require superb image quality and high-speed scanning capability. Keen owners of 35mm and APS format cameras - advanced amateur SLR photographers, for example - will also welcome the scanner's superior speed and image quality.

Users who deal with numerous slide mounts and uncut film rolls will appreciate the increased ease of use and productivity afforded by optional accessories. By simply attaching the optional Roll Film Adapter SA-30 to the Super Coolscan 5000 ED, batch-scanning of uncut film rolls comprising up to 40 frames becomes possible. The optional Slide Feeder SF-210 lets you scan up to 50 mounted slides, giving you time-efficient scanning which slots neatly into commercial workflows. The Super Coolscan 5000 ED has the performance and efficiency to make it the ideal digital archiving solution.

The scanner's 16-bit A/D input conversion enables a significantly broader dynamic range. It also works with the 16-bit output and the Multi-sample scanning feature to reveal details hidden in shadowy and highlight portions of a scene, while virtually eliminating "noise". Newly developed high-quality 2-line CCD sensors support super-fast 20-second scanning and enhanced image quality. At the heart of the Super Coolscan 5000 ED's excellent performance are exclusive Nikon technologies. The scanner incorporates Scanner Nikkor ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass lens elements for superior edge-to-edge sharpness, definition and contrast, as well as outstanding colour fidelity. The "cool" LED illumination is stable and precise, with no risk of heat-related damage to films. Furthermore, the LED requires neither maintenance nor warm-up time.

For consistently accurate colour representation across media such as computer monitors and prints, the Super Coolscan 5000 ED features the Nikon Colour Management System (Nikon CMS). Colour data can be manipulated in multiple RGB colour spaces for unprecedented accuracy and flexibility. The Super Coolscan 5000 ED also features unparalleled image restoration functions. Digital ICE4 Advanced™, the newly upgraded digital image correction technology, consists of Digital ICE™ (Image Correction & Enhancement), Digital ROC™ (Reconstruction Of Colour), Digital GEM™ (Grain Equalization & Management), and the brand-new Digital DEE™ (Dynamic Exposure Extender). There's also Scan Image Enhancer, which delivers one-touch brightness and colour saturation adjustment.

With fast, easy image transfer thanks to the USB 2.0 interface, the Super Coolscan 5000 ED is an extremely powerful, fast and efficient desktop film scanner that will increase productivity and give you scanned images that will take your breath away.
