I really want to get all the negatives I have put on disc, but I'm afraid it would cost a ton. Any ideas? Anyone done this?
Anyone have negatives transfered to CD?

I wanted to do it but could only find places that I needed to mail my negative and pictures too and I was way to scared to do that!!!! This was several years ago and it was gonna cost me like $300 bucks!!!
You could do something like this: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001I45BQK/ref=pe_17070_11556400_as_img_1/
And, I know some scanners will do it too.

Oh I've done this! I have done it at CVS Pharmacy and I think Rite Aid does it as well. CVS can put 125 pictures on a CD and it's either $3 or $4. The only downfall is the are at 72 dpi, but they are also like 27 inches tall or something, so it has been good enough for me. You could do the thing where you mail them in (scanmyphotos or something) but I'm too scared. Anyway, I did our wedding pictures and engagement pictures and some of my hubby's mission pictures. My mom is going to get negatives from us growing up and I'm going to put them on CD for all my siblings.

I bought a refurbished scanner from Epson's website for $88 and it had free shipping at the time. It can scan slides and multiple negatives (2 strips at a time). It also came with software that helps remove the dust from the negatives...I liked all the features the software has. For that price you can scan ALL your negatives! I used it to scan all my childhood slides and made a dvd for my sister and brother for Christmas 2007.
...oh and it will also scan an additional size of negatives...like an oversized...guessing ones from the 50's and 60's...I haven't explored that part yet.
Epson Perfection photo 4490 is the model I have.

I was so depressed. But it might be because my negatives were stored in the attic; stupid, stupid place to store important things!

Scanmyphotos.com has an option for this. I've had awesome results from that company, I always recommend them. I'm sending out 2 boxes of photos this week actually, lol!

More than anything I want to get mine done that are one those rolls.
Remember the cameras that you just dropped the film into? I can't remember what they are, but it was the camera I had before I switched to Digital. That's where a lot of my Japan pictures are.

I have a Canon canoscan 8800f scanner that scans negatives (any size) and converts them to picture files, I then save them on a disc myself! The scanner is AWESOME but expensive (they don't sell this model anymore but there's another one, a 5600 I think that might do the same thing)... Good luck

You mean the APS film (oval canisters)? The ones that would just plop in, no having to feed the camera, and the canister came back with the negatives still inside?

Yep, that's what it is. I'm sure all those negatives are still in good shape.

If it's still in the canister, you need to get them developed regularly. They have to be processed first. Then when you get them back, you can send the negatives away to be scanned or do it yourself.

They've all been developed once, I just saved all of them.
