My buddy from the BVI and I were talking about all the old 35mm slides and

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..http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...0665000FS10094...
Note: *the sale price expired yesterday.

Don, I had thought of getting one of these. Of course, it might be
that one gets what they pay for, but I think this is an adaptor that
you can put on a digital camera (SLR?) and take a photo of the slide
then process it to hard drive.

This one would fit what I've got.
