Scanner purchase

[Peter Sealy]

I am contemplating purchase of one of these scanners to digitise the  
family collection of 35mm slides, BW photos, etc. Anyone have a  
comment please on the merits of any of them and the reliability/ user  
friendliness/ etc between HP and Epson?

Epson Perfection V350 Photo
Epson Perfection 4490 Photo
Epson Perfection 3490 Photo
HP Scanjet 4850 Photo
Appreciate any input.
