A dedicated 35mm film scanner - noticeably better quality than flatbed scanners for 35mm film, though slower. 7200 dpi is more than enough for any practical use - most scanning is done at 3600-4800 dpi for a balance of quality and file size.

Frequently asked questions
Is this better than my flatbed scanner for 35mm?
Yes - dedicated 35mm scanners deliver notably sharper, cleaner scans than flatbed scanners due to better focus and higher effective resolution. Flatbed scanners (Epson V600/V850) are better for medium format and larger; dedicated 35mm scanners are better for 35mm specifically.
