Hi

I have a large collection of old 35mm slides, which I would like to copy
onto the hard disc of my computer.

I would appreciate advise on the best way to do this. I currently use a
Nikon Coolpix 5700.

Many thanks


I bought a Epson 4990 Photo Scanner. It has Digital Ice Built into the
Hardware/Software. I no longer have to FIX my slides or photographs. I wanted
to buy a full fledged Slide scanner - but was talked into this one. It does
4800X9600 dpi. I enlarge all my slides to 8 by 10 inches for future used. They
almost look like they were taken with a digital camera.

I use a AMD64 X2 4400 chip with @ gigs of RAM. I can scan 8 slides at a time
half using Digital ice, and it takes about 20 minutes.

I am very happy with my Flatbed scanner that does slides very well.

I was considering a 4990 just the other day, although I couldn't see
much difference between the 4990 and the 4990 Pro models, although the
street prices suggest something is different.
