Ignore this if you are talking about slides or negatives. The previous posters comment about using a slide copier approach would be better. However it sounded like you were e dealing with prints, so it might be relevant.
Is your scanning software helping you enough? (Oops sounds like the subject of a spam email). I have the Epson 3200 scanner (about ?250) If using the supplied software this scanner can be very fast. The software has three mode settings, fully auto, partial and professional. When set in auto mode it auto crops and exposes everything. Its even possible to simultaneously scan multiple images if they are small ones (using what it calls "thumbnail" mode). I expect that expensive professional scanners like Scitex would be even faster. I'm pretty sure that these would be faster than using a camera. If it gets too boring why not hire a student to help out, holidays are nearly here.
