This is my first post, so forgive me if I am not following proper protocol...
I have hundreds of 1940's and 1960's 35mm mounted slides (I think they are called "diapositives", whatever that means) that I want to digitize. Commercial rates locally are about $.75 per slide, but I think they will not adjust color, quality, etc. -- just convert en masse. So I'm thinking I should invest in a scanner and converted these properly myself. A friend raves about his Epson Perfection V350 -- specially the bundled Epson Photo Fix software. Since he only converts strips, he likes the auto strip feed feature. For $50 less, I could get an Epson Perfection V200 that seems to have the same bells and whistles but is a tad slower. Both have the Advanced Epson Digital Dust Correction feature.
Question: For my purposes, is the extra 50 bucks worth it to get the V350 vs. the V200? Better yet, should I be looking at another manufacturer for a better scanner(s)? Thanks!
