My scanner really and truly died so I just replaced it and am very pleased
with the new one.
What is the new one?
Epson Perfection 4490; scans documents, negs. And slides (haven't tried
those yet).
I just bought one of those specifically to do slides and have absolutely loved
the results, although the software is a little quirky and you have to figure out
how to get it to do what you want.
I asked the manager of the CompUSA where I bought it if he had anyone who was a
guru on scanners, because I had narrowed down to this one, a Canon, and two
HP's, but didn't know which one to go with. This guy, who runs a graphic arts
business on the side, said go with the Epson.
If anyone out there has slides, I would urge you to pick up a scanner (the good
ones for doing slides are down to the $200 range now) and get them digitized as
they will degrade over time. A few of the oldest of my Dad's had a few holes in
them (1940's or 50's, not sure which). The colors also will eventually degrade.
Once they are digitized, although your medium (CD's or whatever you store them
on) may degrade and you will have to keep them backed up with newer media, the
image will never degrade from that point.
