I agree with the folks who are recommending the Nikon LS-2000.
Nikon has some fancy software (digital ICE) which can distinguish
dust on the slide from actual elements of the image. This would
save a bunch of post-scan retouching time. Currently
the LS-2000 seems to be the best consumer scanner available.

HOWEVER,

I strongly recommend against purchasing the LS-2000 or any other
consumer scanner until after you have had a photoCD made of your
work. Even if you go with an overpriced PhotoCD vendor charging
$2 a scan, you will save money, get better results, and most
importantly, not have to sit infront of a computer for 100 hours
scanning and retouching.
