Art, L: I have ~1500 slides and nearly that many negatives.
The majority are family and vacation shots. Some are pretty good; most are terrible. I have been using a Nikon CP 880 with slide copy adapter to digitize the better ones. My goal when I started was to capture the best in digital format, eventually to be put on DVD. Until then, I'll put them on CDs. The copies of the better slides are spectacular, especially after touch up in software. I've also made some prints (HP 932) and am simply amazed. Now the kids (fully grown) want copies of their childhood for albums they want to leave for their children.

I've tried using the 880 and adapter to copy negatives but the color shift in the negative base material is non trivial to deal with. I am considering a film scanner which will also deal with the slides in an even more convenient way.

In general, the Nikon 880 has rejuvenated my interest in photography. Too bad SNDK hasn't rejuvenated my portfolio.
