 Probably the 2nd best 35mm film scanner, when it works. June 11, 2007
The best would be the 5400-II...
This is my second Minolta 5400 scanner. The first one failed not even three months after purchase. It was exchanged after countless (international long distance) calls to Minolta USA. In all I was without a film scanner for over four months. The first unit refused to eject the film holder, no matter what. It seems a common ailment for this model, as I much later found out.
My present unit did the same a few months ago, long after the warranty had expired. I came to find good advice in (...) that permitted me to repair the unit --actually it was a film holder problem.
I wouldn't recommend this scanner to any one who is not very technically and mechanically oriented.
On the bright side, you won't find a better 35mm film scanner regardless of cost. It beats the finest enlarger fitted with the best lens. If you are still shooting film and can live with the quirks, by all means get one.
 Good performance & High resolution August 1, 2006

Let's clarify here; this is for the Elite 5400, not the later 5400II which has seemingly had tons of reliability issues. Some reviews here are for the 5400II and others sound like they could be too.
My personal experience has been that it has processed through hundreds, probably thousands, of slides without a hitch. Color rendering does not quite match my Velvia slides but otherwise I am quite happy. Only complaint (aside from the amount of time it takes to scan at 5400 dpi/16 bit) would be the focusing. I seem to spend a lot of time re-focusing, especially for images with a lot of empty space.
All in all, I would certainly consider this one again. The only other comparable model is the Nikon 5000 which is more expensive and has lower resolution.
This is all probably a bit of a moot point anyway. Minolta has sold off all of its photography interests to Sony. While they continue to support the existing ones, Sony does not seem to have any interest in developing or selling film scanners.
 Great Product January 30, 2006
This is a great product and one of the easiest Scanners I've ever used! I'm sure there are better ones out there, but this is a great choice if you are just beginning.

I was greatly dissapointed in this scanner. The software was very problematic on my Mac G4 OSX.4 platform. User groups had solutions but were cumbersome and rediculous to do. The hardware constantly crashed and finally never started. Minolta suggested it needed repair, right out of the box, that it was a hardware problem!!
Good luck.
Dissapointed
