So what other options does the price conscious scanner have?

I've recently purchased one of these, worked well for a cheap solution.

Had good results with recent purchase of Plustek 7300, but 50% more expensive. Claims to be 7200 dpi.

I have been looking for a solution for all my photo's. Slides are well covered but i have been unable to find an automatic [we all have heaps of old photo's right] photo feeder. Load them up... press batch scan and wait.

I was so surprised this Christmas when buying digital photo frames.. but unable to locate automatic photo scanner.

Tell me i'm wrong.
