Reco Reqd - Film Negative/Positive Scanner

There are tons of photos lying at home - beginning 4 generations ago. Both positive and film negative. Want to digitize them. Any recommendations for good film negative/positive scanners? I could find a bunch on Amazon and Ebay, however haven't done enough background homework/research.

Alternately, if anyone has this in Chennai and can spare for a few days, I'd obviously be most thankful!

Google Storage, Picasa & Photos

Google provides additional storage of 20GB at a nominal $5/year (Rs.250) that is shared between Gmail, Picasa Web Albums and Google Docs. Sounds very tempting, especially given the amount of photos that I can have and can store, share. Considering lapping it up.

Do you have it? What do you think?

Currently I use Snapfish India for storing, sharing & printing my photos. At about Rs.3/photo, they are the probably the cheapest & best in India. They provide unlimited storage provided you print with them once in a year, which is something I do anyway.

However, my photo album application on the computer is undoubtedly Picasa. Just love the app. It has a "sync" feature between the app on desktop and PicasaWebAlbums, which can make life very easy. And, sharing photos via Picasa also provides options for recipients to download albums, etc.

FWIW, I may still continue to use Snapfish for printing photos once in a while.
