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.
