Luke, I personally love the Minolta DiMage Scan Elite II. It came out late last year and is perfect for my 35mm needs. I can only print 8x10 (via Epson 870) so the 2820 DPI is fine. I may at some point upgrade my printer to allow for 11x14 and I may still be able to squeeze the DPI for those as well. Comes with Digital ICE and GEM and ROC. It can batch scan negs and slides(mounted). It is supported by VueScan (http://www.hamrick.com) and it's own software is fairly decent depending on the film you're scanning.
The toss up for me was weather to get the Minolta or the Nikon Coolscan IV ED - Nikon can't batch scan slides so everything else went by the wayside and I went with the Minolta instead.

I am looking at getting a negative scanner and wondering what your recommendations might be. Thanks!
