The scanner has some manual buttons on the unit itself; you can advance frame by frame if you so choose and scan the selected frame. As for the stability of the film in the scanner, that is another matter. I have a roll of 36 (sometimes 37) hanging freely and unsupported from the scanner, and

I would not get a cheap card. A terrific 2D card is the Matrox 450. It has 32 Megs, has a 360 MHz DAC, and only costs $150. Well worth the modest premium over the cheapies for the razor sharp image you get. I had the 400 Max and just replaced it with the 450 a couple days ago. Advantages: $50
