I am looking to purchase an inexpensive scanner, NMT $200, to scan old photos, 35mm slides and negatives. Any recommendations?

Epson V600 Photo scanner, will even do medium format film. Excellent product and nothing out there will give comparable scans at less than 5X the cost.

My Canoscan was IMMEDIATELY round-filed when I bought my original Epson V500 model, there was absolutely NO COMPARISON!

I can only heartily echo the comments about Epson scanners. I have the V500 and have had nothing but exemplary results from it. B&W negatives, color slides, color negatives, color & B&W images AND documents. All come out superb! The same goes with the economy Epson XP-610 printer. Magnificent prints! I'm sold on Epson products.

Don't know about these other folks, but I am getting very good results from a Canoscan 9000F Mark II.

I've had mixed results with my Epson V600. It 's done a great job with scanned photos. My results with scanned negatives have not been as good, but that could be more my inexperience with using the scanner than the scanner itself.

Ditto with my older 8800F. Canon does seem to keep up to date with their drivers not like some other companies. :P

I have an Epson V700 and it does a good job on scanning slides but there is one caveat: The Epson software that I have does not allow for saving as a DMG file. I can get around that by using Vuescan BUT without the Epson software I can't scan a batch of twelve slides. I have to do them one at a time with Vuescan. So unless there is something I missed the Epson has no advantage over a dedicated slide/film scanner with Vuescan.
