Equipment, accessories and performance data of the film scanner To be able to evaluate the effects of a new scan-software, in our review we again and again do direct comparisons with the predecessor model Plustek OpticFilm 7600i.

Our following test review will show how the new SilverFast scan-software affects the device and so the scanning. Despite of that we are naturally interested in the question, if quality improvements or speed enhancements are enabled by the new scan-software, because the old OpticFilm 7600i doesn't quite well impressed through picture quality and was a very slow film scanner. One immediately gets this impression if one puts both devices juxtaposing. This version 8 of the scan-software from Lasersoft Imaging seems to have given his name to the new scanner-series from Plustek.Īccording to information from Plustek the new OpticFilm 8200i differs from his predecessor OpticFilm 7600i only in the software, so the hardware is identical. While the Plustek-scanner of the 7th-series still was delivered with the 'old' SilverFast-Software in version 6.x, for the scanners of the 8th-series the new SilverFast-Software in version 8 is enclosed.

While at the switching of the model from the Plustek OpticFilm 7500i to the OpticFilm 7600i still some significant hardware-changes were made, the new OpticFilm 8200i differs from his predecessor just in the scan-Software. In our film scanner-shop appropriate equipment is available.
