Digital BW, The Print

Mark,

I've not seen Epson's hype. I have looked at the only detailed hands-on 
review of the V700 that I'm aware of, by Vincent Oliver, which he 
finished a day or so ago. There are a few minor issues, one of which 
should be resolved by the V750 which will cut out some minor light 
scatter. The results he shows are pretty good, and his conclusion isn't 
a great deal different from mine.

(Note that I did say "more or less the same quality", not that they 
would beat the best, though it will not surprise me if they equal or 
beat some that cost a considerable amount more - it shouldn't surprise 
anyone given how technology improves. The camera I'm using at the moment 
trounces those that cost 20 times a much a few years back after all.)

But doubtless your remarks are based on extensive field testing :-)

Regards,

Peter
