Flatbed Scanners
B&H Photo VideoTigerDirect.com or TigerDirect.ca
Our pick for a good flatbed scanner at a reasonable price is the Epson Perfection V500, but there are a number of very capable models from Epson, Canon and Hewlett-Packard.
Film Scanners
B&H Photo VideoTigerDirect.com or TigerDirect.ca
For best quality hardware and results, but premium price, we recommend one of the Nikon models (5000 ED for 35mm only, 9000 ED for multiple formats). For very good 35mm results at a lower price, we recommend the Plustek units.
