My CanoScan FS4000US has broken down for the second time and I am thinking of scrapping it. Unfortunately new, high-resolution slide scanners are very expensive, so I will first try some of the slide scanning services.
Google search for “slide scanning service” yields these (and several thousand more):
| Fotobridge | http://www.fotobridge.com/pricing_slides.php | 250 slides – $89.95 (36 cents ea) – 2000dpi |
| DigMyPics | http://www.digmypics.com/pricing.aspx | 39 cents 2500 dpi; 49c 3200 dpi;69c 4000 dpi |
| ScanCafe | http://www.digmypics.com/pricing.aspx | 29c – 3000 dpi |
| Doi Camera (NYC) | http://www.doicamera.com/slidescan.htm#03 | 49c – 1.25 based on quantity and resolution |
| Slide Scanning Pros | http://www.slidescanningpros.com/price-list.html | 29c 4000dpi |
| larsen digital | http://www.slidescanning.com/slide-scanning.htm | 35c – 2000dpi; 39c – 4000dpi |
I will read more and post thoughts about them as appripriate.
