Coverting 35mm Slides to Digital

Hi Tommy,
Can't they be scanned in? My flatbed scanner has a negative and a slide holder. HP do a couple of scanners that can scan slides, HP scanjet 3970 and the HP Scanjet 5530. Check them out on http://www.walmart.com
I hope this helps.

There are flatbed scanners capable of scanning slides but the quality won't be that great. You might want to think about investing in a film scanner.

Others have already posted it: get a film/slide scanner. something that can put out about 2400-4000dpi of scanning resolution. A good dedicated film scanner will cost you about $300-$2000, depending on quality and brand. Failing that, if you happen to have a digital SLR or camera with the proper thread mount, you can mount a "slide duplicator" onto your camera and shoot a digital shot of it. But this will tend to be lower resolution than a film scan. Basically whatever MP rating your camera is at. If you'd just rather have someone else do it and give you a CD with scanned images on it, you can take it to a local camera shop and have them digitally scan your film and burn it onto a disc for you for a fee.
