Ian

This is my first time on birding-aus so please excuse if I have replied
wrongly. I simply hit the "reply to all" button. Ian, I have a "HP
scanjet 3970" which I purchased to be able to scan
slides/transparencies. While it can do the job the result is nothing
like the original and the resulting images are not saleable or
competition quality. Maybe I am doing something wrong? You may be better
served by a dedicated device. I think Nikon has one that is about $1000.
The results from this type of device, from my experience, is very good.

Following on from the recent questions on digital cameras I was 
wondering if list members had any experience with converting their old 
35mm slides and filmstrips to digital.  I was contemplating a HP 
Photosmart 3310 for the job and while I appreciate the old adage "you 
get what you pay for" and there are more expensive alternatives around I

was wondering if anyone can comment on the quality of results from this 
model - is it acceptable?

please reply off list
