I intend on buying a film scanner but am restricted in the models that i can buy because i have a laptop - i need a USB film scanner - which tend to be the 'low-end' scanners.. one scanner i have seen lately has an optical resolution of 1800 dpi and is a USB scanner.. is this scanner a waste of time? should i buy myself a desktop computer so it can support a SCSI scanner? ive never used a film scanner before and rarely used a flatbed scanner but am keen to start digitizing my images.. because i also have access to a CD writer.. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Matt, I am probably not the best person to ask. I have an old Nikon Coolscan. The first model. Its slow slow, slow, but the quality has always been OK. I've been scanning for 5 to 6 years with it, and my one piece of advise is buy a fast one ;-) Cheers
