Hi, I'm in the market for a scanner and was wondering if any of you nice macosx.com people could help me out.
The primary purpose of this scanner will be to scan photos that will be used in final cut pro (I'm pretending to be Ken Burns and am working on documentaries - though not about the Civil War). I would really like to have a firewire scanner, but I'm just not sure what resolution I really need (of course the higher the better) - some of these photos are small (wallet size) and older so I may need some flexibility in enlarging them after thay are scanned. At the same time, I am on a budget and would like to get away with $300ish - but not if I can't get the resolution I will need to eventually have these images on DVD. Am I asking for too much?
Thanks in advance!
