I have no idea how to keep the dust out of them.
I got an ION Omni Scan off the half price table. It works, it's easy to use.
Couple years old and says it's 5.1MP.
I am considering scraping up the cash for a better one since I have 30 years of negs and slides I want to scan.

1) resolution, more is better.  Saw one with 4800x9600 for sale. Not sure how high they go.
2) types of scan: slide, neg, photo etc. more options are better.
3) don't cheap out unless you are only dabbling.

I have the HP g4050.it was a little quirky until HP came out with some patches. scans my old color and black and whites pretty good. Not a professional machine, but it was fun to see 30 year old pictures again.
