Hi Graham,

I recently bought an HP Scanjet G4050 dedicated scanner. Forgotten the cost but roughly $300, might be a bit less. The Hewlett website will have the details.

It's not the fastest machine in the world but is easy to operate and will work in the background on your computer while you work on other stuff.

Its best advantage is that it will scan 16 slides at a time, or will do a number of negatives, or four postcard-sized prints or A4 or etc. etc. No need to pull your slides apart. Very simple and reasonably intuitive to operate.

Mine is linked to my iMac and will scan to files, pdf, iPhoto, Adobe Reader, my two email accounts and so on. I presume that for PC users it will scan to Photoshop.

If you don't have photo-editing software (I transfer from iPhoto to Aperture 2.1) then it comes with its own software.

Hope that is of use to someone out there.

Andy
