Epson V500 vs CanoScan 9000F?

[orphiz]

Hello there,
i resently started with analog photography. mainly using a mamiya 645 and a kiev60 (coming soon)

So far i have the trouble of not getting my pictures onto my computer.
I was looking forward to a decent negativ scanner. I am not a proffesional but i do want decent result. But i'm a bit in a conflict.

While looking i found the canoscan 9000F. seemed good? looking at the results.
But i seemed more people prefer a epson. seems the dpi from the canoscan is not correct?

anybody have there say on this? or any feedback? it's the 1st time i am getting one of these things so i dont know what would be the best choice to get decent result

I want to get an item where i can scan my negatives from the mamiya 645 and soon 6x6 format from the box. Not that i have to get allot of extra stuff besides the scanner. If it's possible!

thanks in advance!

The canon is generally considered the best flat bed for film.

This is news to me. By what measures -- optical resolution?, dMax, bit depth?, film handling?, software?, speed? Can you reference a review or test that reaches this conclusion? That's not to say that the 9000f is not a good buy or is not sufficient for the original poster's needs bit I think more info is needed to make a buying decision.

Yeah, not sure about the details, but they seem to be pretty close. I kinda got warm feelings from this:

But I'm pretty happy with my v500, although I'm hoping the medium format scanner coming in june will be affordable.
