What is the trend these days to scan 35mm and up? Should I get a scanner printer? Film scanner?What should I be looking for as far as features are concerns?

Thank you

What is the "and up" you refer to?

In my opinion, dedicated film scanners do a much better job than using flatbed scanners with accessories. My Canon FS4000US produces superb scans of my old 35mm negatives and slides - both color and B&W at up to 4000 DPI.

He's probably referring to medium format. Those get quite pricey.

I've gotten some very good scans with my flatbed of large format Trans/Negs.
I agree that 35mm requires a dedicated scanner.
