We recently purchased the Epson _expression_ 1680 Pro
and are very happy with it. However, it is very expensive and unlike you
we are producing publication-quality scans, so it may be more than you're
looking for.

Subject: Re: Scanner Recommendations,
please
Ruth - I respectfully suggest that you break your $1000 rule
and purchase the Epson _expression_ 1680 (usb) w/ transparency attachment. This
scanner will be in the 1200 to 1300 range. If you go with a firewire (FW)
option the price will rise to 1500-1600. But the fire wire speed is well worth
it.
Also - If you are planning on scanning many 35mm slides, I highly
recommend purchasing a Nikon Coolscan 4000 or 8000.
35mm slides on lower
end flatbed scanners return less than professional results.

Hi Jeff,
I'm
thinking in the $400-$1000 range. This scanner will produce
collections photography (not for publication quality) for the Registrar's
Office and will likely get very heavy useage. It needs to accommodate
transparencies, slides, negatives, and prints. Thanks to all of you
for any recommendations you can share.
Ruth
