I am interested in buying a slide scanner. If I could control this device from linux (Fedora :-) instead of quitting linux and visiting windows, this would be a _major_ advantage.
A print scanner that supports scanning slides/negatives with high quality will also be a good option.
I have used a Nikon CoolScan V (LS-50) with FC3, but it only works with Vuescan, a commercial software product available at www.hamrick.com. The cost is roughly $50 -- more for a version with more bells and whistles. Nikon does not support Linux and AFAIK there is no open source software that works with Nikon slide scanners. The Vuescan web site has a list of the hundreds of scanners it supports. You can download a free trial version.
