Hi Rod,
It depends what quality, speed etc that you wish to achieve .
Follow links from here for the specs for the Epson 3490 scanner :
<http://www.epson.com.au/products/scanner/>
There are other makers and the Epson is meant only as a reference .
Look for dpi choices, method of scan , type of light ,
does it do negatives ( need high dpi for small negative eg 35mm )
does it have a holder for negative , what is minimum length of Neg strip
and so on .
You don't have to spend $1000 for this , but $200 or $300
will make you a lot more flexible than the $100 version
