That sounds great. I am going to pass this on to my friend. It might be too late, but if not, she would love this.

OK, maybe I am biased about the full frame. I'm sure she wouldn't care as much as I do. I like my 85 to be an 85, and my 28 to be a 28. An old 20D would be fine, I'm sure.

Or just buy the BlogStomp software online. SO easy to use. You won't regret it

I am a pro, shopping for a very good friend. She wants 2 cameras....one for her son, one for herself. He was just accepted to RISD. Her budget is $500 for each camera/lens combo. I was hoping for something with a full image sensor (like an old 5D, not a 20D)

I have also had this dilemma. My father has tens of thousands of amazing photos he took while traveling around the world with my mom when I was four and my sister was two. I am a professional photographer and I have at least half of my work on film. The truth is, scanning is a waste of my time. There are so many great companies out there who do an amazing job, and make larger, cleaner, scans with much better equipment than the scanner I could buy for a couple hundred, or thousand dollars. I found a company in CA called Go Photo and I have been extremely happy with their work. I give them a few hundred images at a time to scan. I get to see them online and choose the ones I like (and only pay for those), and then I get a CD of everything. I make copies for my sister and my dad. Everything he has is on slides, and this has completely taken away my fear of a fire at his house where I lose everything.
