The new Minolta also has a grain-dissolver, which is a built-in diffuser
that's supposed to reduce the grain without sacrificing detail. It can
be switched on and off in software. I suppose it's the same thing they
sell at http://www.scanhancer.com and that they just took the idea and
incorporated it in their hardware. Nevertheless, it's nice to see that
they're actually doing more than just increasing the dpi all the time.
