More scanner questions: CanoScan 5600?

[epp_b]

I've been looking for scanners capable of scanning 35mm film. I cannot justify affording a dedicated film scanner. A flatbed with 35mm holder is probably good enough for my purposes (mostly posting photos online).

I was previously considering an Epson 4490, but the CanoScan is cheaper, plus I happen to have a gift card for the place that is selling it, so I can get it for pretty cheap.

Any opinions on this scanner?

for I am too interested in getting a film scanner in the $100-$200 range.

Thanks for the bump.

I've been looking at a few scanners:

- Epson 4490
- Epson V300
- Canon Canoscan 5600
- Ion Slide2PC

As for that last one, the only reason I'm considering it is because I already have a flatbed scanner that is good enough for basic tasks.

Some opinions would be appreciated.
