<EM>&gt; The store where I purchased the HP 5370C also sells the 6300C. This
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; appears to be better supported (supports SCL under the HP backend and I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; have a SCSI I/F for it). But is it pulling the same marketing crap of
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; claiming 36 bpp while only delivering 24? I only mention HP because I
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; can get them locally. If there is a better scanner out there I wouldn't
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; mind getting it mail order.
</EM><BR>
<P>I have a 6350 and can confirm that it will scan at 1200dpi optical
<BR>
resolution. Any resolution thereafter will be handled in software. If
<BR>
I do a 1200dpi color scan uncropped, the resulting image saved in
<BR>
xscanimage is *huge*, roughly 800MB or so.
<BR>
<P>I just fired up xscanimage and noticed that the &quot;bit depth&quot; option in
<BR>
&quot;Advanced Properties&quot; only contains &quot;8, 10, and 12&quot; for the selection?
<BR>
<P>&nbsp;From the box:
<BR>
<P>1200 dpi optical resolution
<BR>
1200x2400 dpi hardware resolution
<BR>
36-bit color
<BR>
<P>I'm not an expert on some of this marketing spin, so make of this what
<BR>
you will. The resolution seems a no-brainer, but the bit depth may need
<BR>
further investivation. FWIW, for the price of this scanner, you
<BR>
*should* get true 36-bit color, but I don't know for sure. Sorry.
