Sanning 35mm negatives & slides
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.. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...gon=&langid=EN 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. |

Got a nice Brother MFC laser printer with fax for a little over $100. Got a Brother MFC laser printer for the bus for under $50. Both do an excellent job of scanning color photos. I have no idea whether or not they can "sann" film, slides, or negatives. Let us know how your unit does on these items. The N/A, next to transparencies in the specs, tends to make me think that Cannon can't do what you bought it for. |

On the Canon web site their spec sheet shows backlight for slide scanning. http://tinyurl.com/2b6um4 |

Probably. I read the spec. sheet where it said "transparencies N/A" At first,I didn't notice the fine print, where it contradicted the specs. |

I wonder if they are talking about the transparancies you would use on a projection type setup....... the 8' x 10" version. |
