Canon Pixma MP760?

All flatbed scanners do a really bad job of scanning negatives. If I were you I'd ask a camera shop to just scan and burn them for you, as negative scanners are expensive.

has anyone seen or tested or indeed have the canon pixma mp800?i can get what i think is a good deal - 250euro
what you guys think?

I have an HP ScanJet 4670 and it's spectacular! It's the kind that stands up, so it doesn't take up that much space. I think that it dropped from $150 to $100. It includes a negative scanner attachment.

I have an HP DeskJet 5940 and it's awesome as well! It is really fast with text, and it does very good quality (not great, but very good) 4x6's. Also, it can print a borderless 8.5x11" page. $100 as well.
