I have an attatchment that goes onto the end of my sony digital camera. It cost me about 60 bucks on ebay. It works pretty damned well.

Heres one

Check the Tiki Gardens post in Locating Tiki to see what it did for me. A heck of a lot cheaper than a couple hundred bucks.

Now I had to use photoshop to get the colours corrected, but these were highly redshifted. I shoot them at 5.1 meg and I can get in on details really close if I like. Since its a camera, I can do some in camera adjustments to saturation and contrast. I can also shoot them in black and white or sepia with a click of a button.

The attatchement has two slots for slides, and you just point it at a light source, click and you've got a jpeg of your slide.

It may not be for everyone, but it did work wonders for the old pana-vue sized slides. Before when I would get them scanned at a photo place, their slide scanners would crop them horribly.
