I've got a couple of film scanners (like for example Nikon Super CoolScan 5000 ED) but for quick results that should be enough for most people to archive a couple of hundret of slides I tend to use Canon 8800F [0]. I wonder if you can buy a scanner today with similar capabilities.

I recently bought an Epson Perfection V600 based on online reviews and I've been pretty happy with it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OEBMRU/

(I used to have a CanoScan 8800F.)

We were looking at the V600. How quickly can you go through slides with it once you get rolling (e.g. slides/hr)?
