> One concern with the SprintScan 4000 is that it's from Polaroid, a company
that is in very deep trouble these days. I've been thinking of replacing my
HP PhotoSmart scanner, and while the SprintScan's technical specs are
impressive, I'm worried about getting support for it in the future. And,
given Polaroid's finances, I don't have a lot of confidence that I'd ever
collect on the $200 manufacturer rebate.

same internal hardware as the SprintScan. I've also considered the Kodak RFS
3600, which has slightly less resolution (3600 vs. 4000) but slightly more
dynamic range (3.6 vs. 3.4). Both of these are priced similarly to the
SprintScan (not counting the $200 rebate).
