Probably true, but out of sheer necessity and volume, film scanners will continue to improve and sell for much longer than that.
10,000 negs and slides for me alone. Many decades of family and trips worldwide.
Don't plan to visit Pago Pago and the remote end of Ibiza island again any time soon...
I hgave a film scanner, an Acer ScanWit, now sold by BenQ. It cost me $300.
At first I thought it was crap, because everything came out very grainy. Then I experimented with its options. I turned on the unsharp mask filter on the scanner driver, cranked up the resolution to the max, and suddenly the scans are great. The files are so big, however, that I have to cut them back a bit in photoshop. they are almost 50 megs before trimming them down.
