So, I'm looking for an affordable slide scanner to do some heavy lifting. Back in the day of celluloid, I enjoyed snapping away and doing the ole' family slide show schtick every few months. (Any one else remember those? The silver screen, slide projector and popcorn?)
Well, I think I can safely say that those days are gone now, but I'd like to put some of those slides into digital format and I'm trying to figure out the best way of going about that. Sending them out to be scanned makes no sense. I simply have too many slides. Financially, the smart money is on doing it my self. I'm very comfortable with graphics manipulation, so I'm happy to do the tweaking.
I'd be happy to look for something that would be classified as "old tech" since it could also save me a bundle of cash if I can find it, but I'd like to hear some opinions in what you might have used and liked (or hated).
So, what would you do? I'd like to spend under $200 if I can. Less would be better, but I want the scans to be at least "pretty good".
Thanks
