35mm Slide Scanner - Beyond Tiki

It is very compact, smaller than an egg box; you just pop your slides into a cartridge and off it goes. It's a bit pricey - roughly $600 - but it produces AMAZING images that you can save in either .tif or .jpg formats depending on how much drive space you want to use. I was impressed with its compact size and speed as well as the quality of the images. I also like the fact that you don't have to worry about positioning the slide just right to keep your images from being cockeyed. I'll try to get hold of the guy at the ARC to make sure of the brand name - if it isn't Nikon, it's one of the other top camera brands. amiotiki
