My HP ScanJet does the job for me.

With over 3000 slides to digitize, it was better economically to purchase a Nikon Coolscan V ED. Since most of the slides were my life documentary, most were scanned at relatively low resolution. About 500 were scanned at the equivalent of 8-mp and 11-15 mb. These were exceptional landscapes, underwater scenes and life, and terrestrial wildlife. Overall, the cost per slide was slightly less that if done commercially. Plus I had the chance to crop and recompose to my personal satisfaction. Afterwards, I sold the scanner on e-bay.

Having over 10 Large Binders Full to the Brim of Slides - Hopefully my Epson Perfection 4490 Scanner with a Slide Adapter will Bail me out and give me good results. I have yet to take on this awesome job. The price of Lab work would be counter-productive and much too costly.

I have a Nikon Super CoolScan 5000 ED scanner and scan my slides and color & B&W negatives to digital format. I have several thousand images in this format and still shoot film. At $30 per for a professional scan the scanner has more than paid for itself. I also convert my negatives to slide format from digital with very good results.

KM 5400 for 35mm and Epson 3200 Photo for 4x5. Tried the Epson on 35mm, then bought the KM. I have abandoned 35mm in favor of a digital SLR, but still want slides. Opposite problem! Solution: Use a macro lens to photograph a print. I am still working on this.

The film-digital is much more daunting and I haven't tackled that because of the thousands of negatives. I edit my slides severely and use a nikon film-slide scanner that handles batches of 50 at a time. Would love to hear how others handle the negative issue.

I have a Nikon Super Cooscan 4000 negative and slide scanner. I love it because it has "Digital Ice" that removes any scratches on your media. I then run the digital photo through Photoshop CS2 and print the photos out on my inkjet printers.
