[QUOTE="Emrys, post: 4397, member: 2"] The HP scanners are pretty nice. Although HP's hardware has been pretty flakey lately. I like the Canon stuff. They are an imaging hardware company ONLY, so you know that they would most likely produce adequate hardware. I had an HP scanner a long time ago, and it was realy slow, and the CCD ( I guess thats what it is ), was sorta "Burnt" on a corner so everything came out sorta yellowish in this one corner. At my last work, we had one of the top of line SCSI consumer models ( at that time )that came with all the adapters, and was really nice. But cost a lot. All the slide adapter ( That I've seen ) is, is a frame that you put the slide in, and then you just put the frame into the scanner like a piece of paper. Just makes everything square. There are also slide scanners out there. But I haven't looked into those too much. Your best bet is to get a slide scanner, spend a week or 2 scanning the slides, and then return it :). That's what I would do. Seeing as there really is no need for a slide scanner these days. [/QUOTE]
