What should I get? I really just want to scan some old family pics and print them to 8X10. Maybe up to 13X19. What say ye? :lol:

PS

Mods, if this is in the wrong forum, and it probably is, I apologize.

I replaced my printer with a Canon MX860. (wireless all in one) It does just as good of a job printing as my old Canon photo printer, Pixma 4000. However I use a lab for 99% of my prints

I've used several of the Epson line of scanners, and found them to be excellent. I currently have the Epson Perfection V700, and I love it.

If you also want to scan the negs then you can't go far wrong with an Epson Perfection V350 Photo or Epson Perfection 4490 Photo. Both will scan prints and negs (the 4490 will also do 120 negs).

Thanks guys. Any others?
I didn't see the V350 but I did see the V500. Is that the repalcement for the 350? Also I have a TON of 4X5 B&W negs from my zone system shooting days. Any scanners that can handle 4X5? Oh and preferably under 200 smackers.
