Im so happy! I got a Canon EOS Rebel G (film, but better than a point n' shoot!)
I cant wait to upload images from it.
Unfortunatly i have a bad scanner... =(

Good for you Tony welcome to the salubrious SLR club. Can’t wait to see some results from it. You can ask the lab to provide scans when you get the film developed. It costs a little more but might be better than your bad scanner.

Congrats, Tony! Now -- only 10s from you!

haha thanks Tracy Ill try my best to produce 10-worthy shots! =)
And robert, What do you mean "provide scans"? You mean like give them to me on a CD?

I think cd's cost a slight amount extra, but they aren't the best resolution. According to Will, super high resolution scans are available, but they cost a good percentage of what your camera did.

ah that stinks....i guess ill either have to buy a Negative scanner myself, or just use my not-so-good-scanner..

Go for the neg scanner. I have a friend who uses his Nikon film system with a neg scanner and can get resolutions of nearly 20 megs. It's an expensive piece of equipment, but scanning positives really dilutes the image and defeats the whole idea.

That's right Tony, they will give you a CD with scans of all your pics. (for a price) However a good negative scanner is the way to go if the budget can stand the strain.

I have a wonderful HP scanner..does negative scanning too . I've gotten some awesome prints from old old negs and great pics of old beat up photos..Its a great scanner..HP Scanjet4470c............take a look at one of them..

yeah, i have the ScanJet 3970. If what you say is true, there must be a huge difference between the two.

alot of the newer flatbeds come backlit and are able scan negatives and slides without the use of an extra piece of equiptment. its neg scanner is a good purchase and no longer pricey, when you ask for a cd of your prints from the lab all you are getting is the results from their own backlit scanners.
