Do it yourself 35mm Slide and negative scanning. VuPoint Film & Slide Digital Converter With LCD viewer. Don’t believe it but here is what they say this worthless machine will do: Transfer 35mm negatives and slides onto SD card with the Film & Slide Digital Converter with LCD. With this film & slide converter, you can rescue those old photos and save them right onto an SD card (not included) or in the converter’s 32MB built-in memory. Use the film & slide converter’s 2.4″ color display to preview your images before capturing or for playback of all the images stored. The Film and Slide Digital Converter has automatic color balance and exposure control, plus USB cable, video cable, cleaning brush and ArcSoft software (Windows XP and Vista users only). Basically, this is the same worthless product as the Brookstone iConvert™ Slide and Negative Scanner, AKA “Flashpoint”, AKA “Bell & Howell 50134″, AKA “Trustin Technology 50134″, AKA “Veho VFS-004″, AKA “Wolverine”, AKA “FILM IMAGER”, AKA “ION SLIDE2PC”, AKA “Luminox”. Do not waste your money. Go to www.old-photo.com for your slide scanning needs.

Answer by Ted Drake I’ve used a number of slide scanners over the past few years. The Nikon coolscan is great.
I used a different manufacturer’s scanner that had a carousel for scanning multiple slides.
But my favorites so far is what I’m using now. The Epson Perfection 4990 PHOTO. I can scan multiple slides (12?) at a time, each with great resolution 300dpi @ 11″X14″, with digital ice. It also scans 24 negs at a time 2 4X5 negs, or up to 8″X10″ transparencies.
It’s a flatbed scanner with a light source on top and bottom.
