I don't know how much hard drive space you have, but I just scanned a color negative at 2400 dpi, and ended up with a 757 mb file. Color accuracy is fantastic and the resolution of fine details is incredible. I just have to keep stepping down the resolution to the point that my hard drive and RAM can actually handle the work at a reasonable speed! You can find it at a price that doesn't break the bank, too--around $350.
