My only frustration with slides have been the well documented processing problems that pop up from time to time (scratches, blue dots, etc.) which just adds to the difficulty of scanning slides consistently good.

To add to Andy's comments.... recently it seems a handful of photogs have even resorted to converting their images to B&W when the color version has been rejected. Many of these have also been rejected for badcolor or scan.

Luis- I can vouch for the 3.2MP Sony P72 (about USD$270) which I use for all my non-aviation pics.
But I have been known to take an airplane shot with it from time to time.
