With digital photography becoming more and more the norm, the best justification for a flatbed designed for photo scanning is that it can scan at high enough quality to convert your old film-based photos to digital ones once and for all. The Epson Perfection 3490 Photo ($99.99 direct) is chiefly designed for people that want to scan old photos, but it takes a reasonable stab at 35-mm slides and negatives as well. The claimed 3,200-pixel-per-inch (ppi) optical resolution is far beyond what you need for prints and easily enough for scanning 35-mm film for printing at 8-by-10 or larger.
