Not the old film! I've got quite a lot of old photo's and negatives for most of them - just wondered if anyone could recommend a scanner for either/both. I did notice that you can buy an "all in one" for less than seperates and wondered what the down side was? They are not particularily high quality pics its just for storage and to glance at. I quite fancy one of the little USB powered neg. scanners

we had a USB neg scanner and it was good for scanning the negs to be kept on a computer, but the prints were not very good quality. if all you want to do is store them on your computer/ upload to facebook etc then id say go with these, especially as they are a lot quicker than scanning with a conventional scanner. We use a epson v350 which takes about 30 seconds per negative to scan, where as the USB scanner took around 5 seconds per negative.

Was the picture quality too bad for say a 6x4? Some of the originals will be 110's which aren't great anyway, but some are 35mm from my old Olympus OM10 which can be ok so I don't want to compromise too much. I was looking at the Veho ones which get mixed reviews to say the least Also some negs are missing so they would have to be a regular flat bed job but I can borrow one if needed - just wondered if there was one to do both under say £75?

the one we have here at work is by a brand called ION. the quality deteriorated a lot when printing at any size above 6x4. as the prints where for customers we couldnt give inferior quality prints to them, so we just stopped using the thing all together. up to 6x4 wasnt bad, for home use it would be okay, but for a business they were still no good. as for other brands i cant comment on what they will be like. i also cant comment on which are good and bad for what ever amount of money, i only know about this one as, like i say, ive used it at work.
