I will order mine in the next few days...) may be Kodak's old Photo CD. As you mentioned, here in Germany the Picture CD is only available with prints. But this has a rather low resolution (1000x1500) and software included. Photo CD is an older system, but you can pick and choose the negatives or slides scanned. And the resolution is substantially better, 2000x3000. This may not make a difference for you purposes, but it is a much more flexible system. Scans are DM 1,19 plus DM 15 or so for the CD itself. I work at a little camera store in Baden-Württemberg, and we have lately been sending a lot of Photo CDs in precisely because the new system only works when you order prints (and not at all with slides). Takes about a week to ten days. Kodak is not always noted for its speed. Hope that helps. Keith Bingman Riedheim, Germany
