Read the reviews an= d you will learn that flat bed scanners (with illuminated covers and templa= tes) do a so-so job but never as good as the single slide units shown at th= ese pages.
Check on the pixel size of the the sensor unit not just the = resolution. Flat bed units have moving sensors and that is a source for los= s of sharpness.
