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. I have one of these: http://nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/...m-Scanners/923.... and the results are stunning. *The software really works well also, getting rid of scratches, grain, etc. *But it really slows down scanning time from maybe 40 seconds per shot to maybe 1-2 minutes per shot if you have to do a lot of software processing/correction of bad film. Steve Sounds like a quality unit..although a bit pricey at $600.00. (acording to one site) You can get them used in excellent condition for half that. *People buy one, scan in all their negatives and don't generate anymore so there's nothing left to scan. *Then they sell it. Steve That's one of the reasons I bought the Canon CS8800F flatbed scanner. It's versatile...I'll be using it off & on for years... and at $200.00 CDN (about $160.00 US) not a big layout of cash.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Tell me how it works out Don. |
