Neat Coolscan V ED-LS50 14 bits per color 3,964-pixel linear CCD image sensor Film 4000 x 4000dpi Scanner

Not only does Nikon equipment take great pictures, it makes great scans of the negatives. The Coolscan V ED-LS50 film scanner has an incredible 4000x4000 dpi resolution and uses red, green, blue and IR LEDs to capture an amazing 14 bits per color. The fixed film, movable plane scanning system has a new Nikkor ED glass lens. This setup protects your negatives and allows the scanner greater precision.

It has a USB 2.0 interface for high speed data transfers to your PC or Mac. Once they are in your computer the images are handled by the Nikon Scan 4 image software. Then the Digital ICE Advanced takes over.

This image correction system consists of four main components. ICE takes care of surface defects and scratches on the film. Then the ROC algorithms restore faded colors to their original vibrancy. Film grain effects are minimized with Digital GEM and Digital DEE compensates for exposure errors and reveals details that were hidden in highlights and shadow.
