Good way to convert (scan) 35mm slides onto disk or cloud
What is a good way to scan 35mm slides to disk or cloud. My photos are in Apple "Photos". Need to buy a scanner device, eg Canon or Epson?

Don't get a dedicated slide scanner because when you finish your project you'll be left with a nice door stop.
Both Canon and Epson have flat top scanners that are capable of scanning transparencies and slides. They have holders that can hold up to 6 slides at a time for scanning. I would scan at 600 dpi so that I would have image large enough to print an 8 x 10 at 300 dpi.
The Canon scanner is the Canon CanoScan 9000F Mark II Film & Document Scanner. Epson has several models, Perfection V600, V800 and V850. They all scan both photos and transparencies/slides.
There are other manufacturers that offer transparency scanners but Canon and Epson are they only ones I'm familiar with.
