Hi we purchased an HP G4050 for about $200.00 of course there probably is something better but it does all that for us very nicely.

I would like to get something that does a great job especially with negatives, slides and photos but I would prefer not to spend more than $400 to $500. Can anyone give me some advice on what would be a good choice?
