Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating: - Wonderful tool
I'm a fairly accomplished amateur photographer. I've got film from Africa, National Parks and other places, and have now put around 500 slides and negatives through this scanner.
It's *great*.
The dynamic range is fantastic. 'Dark' images come through wonderfully. If it was unintentionally underexposed, the 16-bit color depth gives lots of room for adjustment. I was able to rescue many previously useless images and get decent digital files.
Speaking of rescues, many old family photos ... Read More
Rating:  - Slow and tedious
Nikon makes great cameras but awful software and this unit relies heavily on software.The scanner is slow as can be and making pre-scan adjustments with the software tedious and time consuming.Much faster with Photoshop!Bulk scanning in not a viable option due to the time it takes per image.I had the APS attachment and it failed continuously to take the film in. I sent it back to Nikon for repairs with detailed description of what was wrong and it came back with the same problems unfixed.Tried ... Read More
Rating: - Great Brand in cameras, but not in digital equipments...
I bought Nikon CoolScan 5000 ED to scan my positive and negatives. Machine scans good and sometimes perfect and before i bought it i thought it was my only need. But the scanning machine has to have a suitable software. The software they gave with the machine is really old and not user friendly. Additionally, with strip film holder, Coolscan automaticaly takes the strip but can not recognize the exact frame on the strip. Sometimes it stops the strip in the middle and shows one half from previous photo and ... Read More
Rating: - CoolScan 5000 ED is Cook
Except for being slow it is a great product. I found that is takes a very long time to scan and save pictures. Although I am still learning, most slides came out much better than other methods of sanning I have used.
Rating: - If you're looking at this scanner you're already serious about photography
Pros
Best scanner for the money
Fastest high resolution film scanner currently on the market (as of 2008)
Allows you to use your old 35mm as a 19+MP camera
Digital ICE and other corrective extras are great on most images
Works with C-41 process B&W negs
Cons
Expensive
Fastest is still slow, especially since ICE is usually necessary and slows the process down
Does not work with regular B&W negs
Has problems giving proper tone and shadows ... Read More
