Epson has actually already come out with the 11000 model. The reviews are really good but they are having trouble when it comes to repairs. I wish I knew someone who actually has one. That is actually the machine that I'm looking at right now.Don, I love the idea of going to a professional to scan, but the problem is that I retired due to heart and back issues. Getting out to have things scanned could be a problem. I shoot in the park usually from one place. When we shoot seniors on location my daughter needs to be the driver for the day. I was hoping to set up a studio in my home that would not have me out and about very much.I'm setting this business up for my daughter. She has a better eye than I do, but she does not have the on task experience I have in actually doing the restorations. My work is as good as anybody's and I'd like to be able to teach her to do photo restoration even better than I do it now. It's fun and very rewarding, and in my case I can charge low prices and help families that really want to have their family history restored through photographs. In a few years I can pass this 100% on to my daughter. The low quality photo finishing that has taken place over the past 50 years will eventually lead her to a decent business that will supplement her teaching income for many years.</blockquote>
