I am using a Kodak Z650 Zoom camera to try to make copies of old 35mm
slides.
The results so far have been poor. I project the slides using a projector
to a
screen about 4 feet from the projector and camera.


The only way to digitize slides properly is to use a film scanner. Trying
to take a photo off of a projected image is going to result in near complete
loss of luminance and color saturation information.

You have already seen how unacceptable such images are. I know of no way to
improve them sufficiently to look like scanned transparencies. Even
low-resolution scans, similar to those on a Kodak Picture CD, are far
superior to any of the do-it-yourself schemes that do not involve use of a
real film scanner.
