Yes this is the one that I saw advertised in the paper the other day. I will call them tomorrow, and ask how well the slide scanner works, as I would be very curious! I will also post what it is they say about it!
Thank you so much Marc.

BTW, sorry I never got back to this post in a little bit, and thank you all who helped!

Sorry to hear about your camera.

Just to let you know about dig cameras, I think they are great, but not necessarily the best camera for all uses. I am working with a fairly decent model, ( 2 years ago anyways ) the PDR-M60 by Toshiba. The fact that I can take a picture, and send it in less than a minute appeals to me. Not to mention *not* having those candid pics exposed at a local outlet. ;-)
Kids and all! lmao
What I really dislike about these types of cams, is that they don't have the ( I guess it is the ?)shutter speed of a normal 35 mm. 1 to 2 seconds later the camera takes the shot, and the, " Moment" had already passed. That really frustrates me to no end. I hate forced family pictures, and my kids just want to play, forget the picture. That extra second actually in children's terms is like a hour, all they want to do is go go go. Oh well,
that is what the 35 mm is for.

As you can tell, I am NO camera expert, but I LOVE to take pictures. Good luck with your digital!
