Digital BW, The Print

I think the Epson V750 Pro (due in May) is going to make dedicated film 
scanners such as the Minolta ones obsolete, giving more or less the same 
quality as more expensive drum or virtual drum scanners, but with 
greatly improved ease and speed of use.

However for new images you will probably get better quality from a 
camera such as the Nikon D200 or Canon 5D rather than film under almost 
all circumstances. And with cheaper models such as the D50 or D70 under 
most.
