Many of us have old photos in slide formats needing a slide projector. That technology is pretty much obsolete. To preserve slides and display them on other formats, you must convert them. A slide converter converts slides to digital file you can store on your computer on a CD or DVD. Slide converter prices vary with how much they speed up the process of converting. You could scan each slide individually without a converter; but this is a long process if you have a large number of slides. Prices vary - at Amazon.com prices ranged from $49.99 to $249.00.
Most converters work the same way. They are separate machines from the computer, where you put your slides in a holder that generally holds about 5-9 slides, slide the holder through the machine and take a picture of each slide. Companies such as Ritz Camera & others provide this and other conversion services (slide conversion charges usually range from 19-.39 per slide).
Hope this list of websites will help with your “tech shopping”:
