Xact Communications XHB201.......2006-04-06
After viewing the review for this phone, I have changed my mind about ordering it since the one buyer has/had so much trouble simply receiving his order, sounds like fraud to me. The rating of one star is for the phone itself, but i would give the seller a zero rating.
More than 6 months since I ordered it and still has not arrived.......2005-05-22
I ordered this telephone on May 2nd, that is 20 days from today. When I was buying it, it read on the site that it would be delievred in 1 or 2 days. When I received my confirmation e-mail it read that it would be shipped between May 14 and May 21, that is 12 days later. Today May 22nd, and 20 days later it has not even been shipped. I have not been able to try the telephone due to logical reasons, but I dont recommend it to anyone. What is the use of it if you cant get it.
UPDATE: May 29th 2005
Almost one month since I ordered this telephone and I got a message saying it might be delivered in still 15 days more. What surprises me about all this is that they still state in the web page that this item "usually ships in 1-2 days" Which as you can see is completely untrue. Amazon, I feel you have to do something about vendors like this, to protect your customers.
UPDATE: June 1st 2005
Today I got a message saying that there is a "delay" with my order now until the 24th of June (that is almost 2 months since I first ordered the telephone), and that I need to approve this delay so that we can continue processing my order. But in the site the telephone information states that it can be it ussually delivers 1-2 days. I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS.
UDTADE June 10th 2005
I got a message today stating that the telephone will still be delayed more:
- Updated shipping estimate: June 17 - June 24
- Updated delivery estimate: June 24 - July 7
But on the product specifications it keeps saying that it can be delivered between 1-2 days. I think this false information should be take out from the site, it atracts people thinking they will have their telephone delievered in 2 days, and then later they will get a message that it will be delayed. Just like me, 2 month is the estimated delay by now, but who knows it might be even longer, after their own behaviour. I have the idea that they want me to cancell my order. Well I wont do that, they can cancell it if they want, and I will write this down in here aswell, for all your potential customers, I hink I have never been treated so unrespectful by any seller in the internet or anywhere else.

This is a joke. Almost two months since I first oredered this item, I keep getting messages for delaying the order. But the availability you see in the site is still: "ships in 1-2 business days". Why dont they send mine ?

UPDTADE August 14th 2005
This is the worst service I have ever come across with. You can still see online that the telephone will deliver in less than 2 days, but they wont ship mine. How come ? What is the trouble ? The best part is that the money has been deducted from my gisft certificate since I first ordered it, 3 months ago. Out rageous!

UPDTADE August 16th 2005
Now they send me delay notifications almost every week saying that I have about one week to aprove it otherwise the order will be cancelled. This makes me think that they want me to cancell the order, or are willing that I forget to renew it so that they can cancell it themselves.
This is the worst e-place business I have ever deal with.

It's The best But could be better.......2007-12-26
I have scanned over 30000 slide with my scanner with not to many problems one problem is that you get is over scan on lite colors white over black as an example as a bulk slide scanner goes it's the best one.
Not bad, but not great, either.......2007-06-18
I've owned this scanner for about 18 months now, and also have the slide and roll feeders. I've scanned about 12,000 images during that time, both slides and negatives.
The good news is, that for well-exposed negatives or slides, this scanner is fast and does a very high quality job. The bad news is that the software is buggy, and Nikon's tech support is non-existent. There are still no 64-bit drivers.
I'm running XP-Pro on an AMD x2 4600+ ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe with 2 GB memory and around a TB of SATA disk. While scanning, one of the two CPUs is totally consumed, but this is probably because of the polled USB driver. There are 3 software errors that keep occurring. First is the well-known Nikon Scan has encountered an error and must close - sorry for trashing your data. This malfunction occurs about every 10-40 frames. It simply requires a restart of the application. It usually happens just after or during a preview setup, so the work loss is minimal, but annoying. Nikon support ignores all reports to their support site of this particular problem.
The second problem is that the scanner software simply freezes. This usually happens in multiscan mode. To recover from this requires that the scanner be power cycled and the software needs to be killed with the task manager. Nikon support has also ignored this bug report.
The third problem is that when a slide jams in the feeder, the application loses communication with the scanner and must be restarted. Not too bad, since I had to manually clear the jam, but really an indication of the poor quality of the software error handling.
The software is incomplete with the slide scanner, in that it doesn't allow a preview scan for each slide like it does for the roll/strip feeder. That is basically a software issue, although the sloppy handling and positioning of the $500 slide feeder is also in play, in that it is probably impossible to get a complete alignment of the second feed with the first. (It actually misses a bit with the strip feeder as well, although not enough to matter.
The slide feeder is a bit of a kludge. It will require some modification to get it to work reliably enough to walk away from, but after a bit of tinkering, cutting and installing a modified pressure plate, it now can feed slides that are in good condition well enough that it seldom jams.
Another problem I have is with the hardware specification - it claims a Dmax of 4.8, which is just the specification of the 16-bit A/D converter attached to the sensor. But the sensor has nowhere near that much dynamic range, so the specification is downright misleading. Because of that, this scanner continues the history of scanners having great difficulty with dense slides. While Dee helps some, the problem of the limited dynamic range of the sensor becomes readily apparent. The amount of smear across high contrast boundaries is intolerable when scanning some very nice Velvia or even Provia images. If you shoot slides for scanning, consider over-exposing by 1/2 stop or so if the subject can tolerate that.
As mentioned earlier, the multi-scan setting does not seem to work very well, due to the software crashing.
Scan image Enhancement is a totally useless piece of software. The ICE works well for dust removal, but may give some image deterioration on some Kodachromes, although most work out okay. ROC works quite well for faded images, such as pre-85 Ektachromes and older negatives. Occasional Kodachromes are also restored. But there doesn't seem to be any difference between the setting from 1-4 that I have been able to detect. And you'll get bizarre results if ROC is one and the n\image hasn't faded.
GEM is okay for grain reduction, but like most such programs it loses detail fast, so us it sparingly. Faster negatives need it, and some of the older or faster slides films also, but if you can get away without it, then don't turn it on.
Negative scanning is very good, with the colors either well-balanced or easy to correct (Reala, for example, needs some manual setting to get right). But the negatives are grainy compared to slides. So you either get dynamic range problems or grain problems. Pick your favorite imperfection. I find negatives a breeze to scan, but the ultimate quality is not quite as good as a good slide scan, provided the slide is not too dense.
So Nikon gets only three stars for this. The idea is good, but the lack of dynamic range and software problems, coupled with Nikon tech support's utter incompetence or non responsiveness turn this into a mediocre product. Unfortunately, there is nothing much better at a reasonable price. Drum or pseudo-drum scanners may be better (I wouldn't count on it, though), but I don't have 10k to invest.
You'll get as good an image quality from a comparably priced 10MP digital SLR, so unless you have a lot of old stuff to scan, this is not the way to enter the digital age at this point in time. D80, D200 and comparable Canon or Fuji DSLRs give images subjectively as good or better than the scanned images from this scanner and slide film.
Great Scanner.......2007-06-02
I have used several other film/slide scanners in the past, the 5000ED really performs. I really like the multi-scan functions for higher signal to noise and 8 or 16 bit files. I highly recommend this scanner for archiving slides and film and for get a good digital image to work with if Photoshop. I have no problems producing 16x20 prints from scanned image. Quality in and Quality out. Quick scans for such high resolution with very consistent work flow. I will be doing a more in-depth review at [...] in the future.
Defective Products out of the Box and Cost of Ownership.......2007-05-09
One star is not for how Nikon products perform once they work properly, it is a measure of the lack of product defects (quality) and the extra costs incurred by the customer to get Nikon scanner products to work properly.
I purchased a CoolScan-IV. When I received it, it was defective out of the box. I contacted Nikon technical support and they told me to exchange it for a new scanner. The new 12-Bit CoolScan-IV worked perfectly. When I was ready to upgrade to 16-Bits, I purchased a CoolScan-5000 and gave my CoolScan-IV away. What a mistake!
This "upgrade" scanner was a total piece of junk. The images were noisy. I immediately contacted Nikon technical support about the problem. After some back and forth, they told me there was nothing wrong with the scanner; I was the problem. I recently found an archive copy of an under-scanned photo that I scanned on the old CoolScan-IV. I compared the images. The CoolScan-IV produced a very good image. The CoolScan-5000 was horrible. Without spending hundreds of dollars to pay Nikon Service to correct Nikon's initial quality defects, I am stuck with a piece of junk.
NikonScan. NikonScan is the scanning software that comes with the Nikon scanners. When it works, NikonScan works acceptably; however, it locks up repeatedly requiring closing the program and reopening it. Earlier versions worked much better in this regard to locking up.
Bottom line, Nikon quality has deteriorated to become very poor. I just described four Nikon product quality problems (initially defective products). There is a fifth: Nikon does not stand behind errors that their technical service personnel make.
Each item described above had additional out of pocket cost or lost time associated with it. I know the scanners can perform exceptionally well once they are working to spec. I would recommend a Nikon scanner only if you are willing to unnecessarily pay out a lot of extra money and waste a lot of time correcting initial Nikon product quality defects and incompetent technical service advice.
Nikon CoolScan 5000 ED.......2007-05-07
I'm switching from a Polaroid SprintScan 4000 to this Nikon unit because of what I'd heard about the imaging quality of the latter. So far, I'm impressed, especially with the in-system dust and scratch remover with the color images. I do do a lot of b & w scanning and printing, so, in that realm, there's no great difference except that the manual handling of b & w film strips is a bit tricky (with the Nikon). All and all, I'm very pleased with my purchase.
