[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 588158, member: 10543"] [SIZE=3][FONT=arial][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#000000]I too have been looking at slide and negative scanners and the Epson V600 and the Canon CanoScan 9000F Mark II are similar. These are flatbed scanners. Each enjoys good reviews and sells for just under $200. I'm also looking at Plustek's OpticFilm 8100 and 8200-series scanners. These are priced at $300 to $350, but they are specifically designed for slide and negatives, have good reviews, have a much smaller desktop footprint than the flatbeds and include Silverfast 8 software, which is well liked for scans. I cannot determine if Plustek offers a warranty; I plan to phone them to see. I fear sending my slides away for scanning because I'd be heartbroken if any were lost. Commercial scanning could also be very expensive depending on slide count and desired resolution. The downside of DYI scanning is throughput. The above scanners work only 4 Ea Slides at a time. One writer said of all home scanning that "you'll soon realize that you retired too late". :D[/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
