While a lot of scanners advertise crazy high resolutions, this is often just marketing mumbo jumbo. They only resolve details at half or a quarter of the claimed resolution. See www.filmscanner.info for tests of the resolution on many scanners. My Nikon CoolScan scans at 4000 dpi and has an insanely sharp lens, which is enough to resolve the grain on most 35mm film stocks. Unless you shoot a lot of 50 iso and lower, thats more than enough
