I have, literally, tons of old pictures, slides, and negatives I want to scan and convert to digital this winter. Can anyone guide me as to the best scanner I should get for a quality transition ? I would probably be willing to spend in the neighborhood of $800 to $1000. Or am I being naieve, and it will take a LOT more than that. Any imput will be greatly appreciated.
