Page 13 of the review tells the story, unfortunately not where one would
look for it in the review. Because of the live, interactive nature of
his reviews, the scans on page 10 devoted to 35mm are still there, but
the page 13 rescans are what to look at.
Look at the lower half of the page
<http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Epson%20V700/page_13.htm>.
Resolution is clearly not just as good as, but better than, a Nik*n 4000.
How much the V750 will improve on this performance, who knows. But one
or the other is pretty clearly the current choice for anyone who wants
to do 35mm through 8x10 scans.
