We regularly use a Nikon Coolscan here -- very acceptable results,
although it's a bit pricey.  You get the equivalent of a 7Megapixel
digital camera.  The infrared dust removal doesn't work as well under
Linux as it does under that other OS, and the autofeeder for unmounted
slides/negatives doesn't work at all under linux (no driver).  But if
you can live with that, the raw optical quality is very good.
