Andy,

    Just so happens I have been working with a friend of mine to
    accomplish the same type goal. I have lots of slides and negatives my
    friend has scanned using a Nikon film scanner to create digital
    archives. While the results from the Nikon equipment are my only
    exposure (pun intended) to film scanning gear, the results are quite
    good. The.JPG files usually range between 4-5M in size (when maximum
    scan rate is selected for the #2000 model my friend has) and these
    images show no degredation when enlarged to 11 x 17 on my CRT. 

    The equipment is not cheap ($400-$900 for the initial unit, depending
    on the features; film strip feeder and slide units are extra $$).
    There are services available that charge in the neighborhood of $1
    per image. When you factor in the time to scan and archive each image,
    that is a reasonable price - factor close to 4 minutes per image. 

Mark
