3600dpi on a 35mm negative is about the same as 400dpi when enlarged to A4.

Digital film and slide scanners....

I need to scan a box full of negs and slides so that I can get them onto cd, use them online, publish them etc. and I need a film scanner. Jessops do one for £300 with 3600dpi, and one for £200 with 2700 dpi, and there are scanners with dpi's from 1800 to 3600 on eBay.

What dpi res do I need to scan negs so that their quality is at least good enough for A4 with faithful colour rendition etc? And are there any other factors to consider?
Are there any hardware review sites that cover film scanners that I could visit?
thanks
