My wife and I just bought a small unit for $80 Cdn at Costco. You can use it via USB, or just in your lap in front of the TV, scanning into a memory stick. 5.x MP full colour scanned images. Scan is more of a 0.5 second "picture take", since there is no moving parts. You just advance the tray manually for the next slide (or negative). It's quick compared to a scanner. You spend all your time loading/unloading the slide tray. Warren |
