A lot of people have asked this question about scanning old 35mm slides and it seems that the Epson 4490 has been recommended. I have Vista and it appears this scanner is not compatible with my operating system. The Nikon Coolscan-V ED was also recommended to me and it is Vista compatible, is this a better scanner? Obviously I want good quality, ease of use, and an affordable scanner. Do you have any advice for me?

Answer: Because operating systems are constantly changing, I am a fan of this 35mm slide scanner that can work independent from a computer. It can store your images directly to a memory card and then you can just transfer them to any computer, Mac, PC, XP, Vista, 7, and whatever comes out next.
