Thinking of buying a slide copier to transfer some slides/negs to jpeg's. Any ideas what copier to buy, and has anyone tried this one

Seems reasonable price wise, but then again some are quite expensive, I thinking was coping some to transfer to Power Point Presentations, and for printing, maybe max 7 x 5.

Cheers guys.

With a bit of ingenuity you can fix the slide up to an even light source and simply re-photograph it with a DSLR, saving £89.90.

The Summit one is quite adequate if you're just converting family snaps. Very easy to use and has both negative and mounted slide carriers. And at £90 or so, do all your scanning and stick it on Ebay and get some of your money back!

If you're needing high high quality, then you're going to be in Nikon Coolscan territory running into several hundreds of pounds.
