Sorry, I should have been more clear. A really good flatbed (like this one, an Epson GT30000 - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?ci=1152&N=4294538296+4293918125 and up) can absolutely be us

If you only work with digital photos, why would you even need a scanner?
Assuming you're using a "good enough" digital camera (not a point-and-shoot) with a sufficiently large sensor, I can't see a

Nikons are the only current ones I would recommend if you don't want to go the drumscanner route which is by far more expensive. Search a reputable dealer like B&H ( http://www.bhphotovideo.com ) for

Flatbeds will not be good for 35mm slides unless all you're doing is scanning them for low res previews etc. Unless you get a very high-end flatbed, which tend to be a lot more expensive than comparab

For scanning Kodachromes, your best bet is a Nicon Coolscan. Current models are Coolscan V ED (roughly $549) and the Coolscan 5000 ED (roughly $979.75). Both are currently in stock at B&H Photo

I have quite a number of Kodachromes that I want scanned. Recently, somewhere on the PSI site, I saw a recommended scanner in the $400 range. Now I can't find the reference. Can someone point me to

Thanks to everyone for their input. I still plan on using my Coolscan, because I think it is a good scanner that does do a good job for most purposes. However, I have learned the hard way that I can't

I've used Nikon for years - 4000ED and now the 9000ED. Great scanners, BUT...
I needed a larger flatbed scanner for some 8x10 negatives, and bought the Epson 4990 - this scanner is pretty amazing,

As far as resolution goes, the highest possible is always best. While a dedicated film scanner is best for slides, flatbeds can do an acceptable job for some publishers.

Do you mean undeveloped or processed (developed) and then left on a roll, not cut? Many scanners have a roll film attachment but the film still needs to be processed (developed).

pccjf,
Do you have medium format film you need to scan? If not then the Coolscan 9000 is a waste since that's it's only advantage over the 5000 which is under $1,000. I have a Coolscan 8000 because

There are scanners priced at $20,000 and above too. Just like with cars, if all you look at is going from point A to B and nothing else matters we wouldn't need different cars. Also, the 9000 e
