    I have been very happy with the Imagestar III scanner made by Adara
(www.adara.com).  The optical resolution is 600 x 1200 and dynamic range is
3.4.  Best of all, it only cost about $700.  The drawback -- editing software.
It comes packaged with Ulead PhotoImpact SE.  Of course, if you already have
Photoshop or some other program this isn't an issue.  I personally paid the
$100 to upgrade to PhotoImpact 3.0.  It works great for what I do, but I know
most in this group need something better.  Just my two cents worth...
