My buddy from the BVI and I were talking about all the old 35mm slides and
negatives we have from the good 'ole days. We both decided we need a
scanner so we can share old pictures with family & friends.
He lives on a 32' sailboat on Tortola so a smaller dedicated unit might
suit him.
I have the room... and will have other uses, like copying documents (seem
to do this a lot for moms affairs) so I ordered a Canon CanoScan CS8800F
from FutureShop at a sale price of $199.99 CDN.
Anyone have any experience scanning their old film/slides over to digital?
Here's the unit..

Note: the sale price expired yesterday.

I've used my older Epson 1660 for scanning some 35mm slides. It works quite
well although a little tedious loading and unloading the slides for
scanning.
