One of my projects next year will be to scan the hundreds of slides I have from years ago. Can anyone recommend a scanner that does a good job with slides? Thanks!!
I have a Canon CanoScan 8600F scanner. I could not be happier.Don't get anything Canon.
I have a workaround for the sucky TWAIN plug-in user interface for third-party apps. I don't use them. It must have taken 10--maybe 15--seconds to figure that one out. I am happy as a clam to use Image Capture.... Needless to say the supplied software is unlike any software on your Mac (unless you still use OS 8.6). It is slow, unintuitive and astonishingly ugly. ...
I've read some recent reviews on Amazon and two that people seem happy with are the Epson V500 and the Canon 8800F. $1- per scan seems very expensive when you own hundreds or thousands of slides to have done.

It is the height of silliness to boycott great hardware because of some issues with unnecessary software. Life is too short.
