Eric:

The HP Photosmart is a tiny, psuedo-flatbed, with motorized media loading
and motorized, changeable carriers for slides, strips of up to 6 negatives
and photos (or other items slipped into a clear carrier) up to 5"x7".
Specs are:  30 bits, 2400dpi (optical) on negs and slides, 300dpi (optical)
for prints.   Works like a charm... and quite reasonalbe in price.

Currently HP is offering a $100 rebate. Details at:
