I am in a market for a scanner. I have thousands of photos laying around that I would like to convert into digital format. I am kind of an idiot on the subject. I have a Microtech 3800 but it takes forever to scan in a picture in decent quality and the results are less then great. Some of them are quite old and fragile. I also have hundreds of negative strips. What is the best scanner on the market in terms of price and what is good in terms of price to value? Also, what features should I look for to improve the quality and speed of scanning. Any help is greatly appreciated.
