About time we scanned all our old film photos (not negatives - who knows where they are).  Mostly in albums, and there are lots, so I don't like the idea of paying $0.30 per photo that some services charge.

I have a DSLR but understand that it's not a foulproof method to set up a DSLR scanning station.

I was considering buying a small all in one printer/scanner and was wondering on the general quality.  I haven't scanned photos for 10 years, our old scanner then was very slow.  I presume most are all fairly quick these days?

Does anyone have any good software recommendations that can scan, say, 4 photos at once, separate them out automatically etc.?

Anyone have any general recomendations?
