Appendix
The Dimage Scan Elite F-2900 named "European Digital Scanner of the Year 2000-2001"
The Dimage Scan Elite went on sale in November 1999. This film scanner handles both 35
mm and Advanced Photo System (APS) film formats, and is equipped with "Digital ICE™"
automatic image correction functions that can automatically detect and compensate for
scratches and dust on the film surface.
EISA had this to say about why they selected Dimage Scan Elite as digital scanner of the
year -- "With this film scanner, Minolta has created a secure and reliable tool for both the
professional and the enthusiastic amateur photographer who wants to digitize 35 mm- and
APS slides and negatives. With automatic dust and scratch correction, good colour control,
2820 dpi resolution and excellent included software this scanner delivers professional
quality at a reasonable price, making it appealing for more people than just the elite of the
digital photography world."
EISA is made up of representatives from 40 professional camera and video magazines from
19 European countries. Since 1982, awards have been given annually for outstanding
products of the year in 20 categories, including single lens reflex cameras, compact
cameras, digital cameras, and films. The year 2000 marks the 19th year for the awards.
The award ceremony will be held on September 19 in Cologne, Germany.
