I use a Polaroid Sprintscan Plus at work, it has a ppi of 2700 (means your 1"x1.5"
slide or neg has a pixel dimension of 2700x4000, good enough for full bleed
magazine cover on press), and a density range of 3.4. On the previous Nikon
Coolscans, Nikon wouldn't publish the D range. The SSPlus is now running under
$1500 in catalogs, Nikon has a newer scanner that is a little better than the
Polaroid now. But it's unlikely the Olympus has specs like these.
