The cheapest way, is to set up your camera. Goggle and youtube search on how to scan negatives.
1. Prepare a backlight.

What is the difference between a 35mm camera and a digital camera?

Question by Pauly W: What is the difference between a 35mm camera and a digital camera?
I purchased a digital camera at a garage sale for $ 10 two weeks ago, and I am still learning how to use it. I do know that you get the pictures right away, and you can post them on the computer and share them on social networks such as Facebook, but what I would like to know is do they work the same as a 35m camera?

A digital camera, you can just transfer the pictures directly to your computer.A 35mm camera needs film, when then has to be developed and printed, then either the print or the negative needs to be scanned with a scanner.

How many megapixels does a digital camera have to have in order to match the quality of a 35mm camera?

Question by mypaintings1212: How many megapixels does a digital camera have to have in order to match the quality of a 35mm camera?
I've read in an article that it would take 14 megapixels in order for a digital camera to match a 35mm. in terms of picture image quality. Also is 35mm the "Holy Grail" of image quality in a photograph? Are there new technologies that could surpass the image quality of a 35mm camera?

Answer by Barometer Soup
4 megapixels is plenty. The human eye can't tell the difference unless you either plan to:

1) print huge, poster-sized copies of the photos, or
2) zoom way, way in using software.

In fact the more megapixels you get, not only does the price of the camera go up, but fewer pictures fit on your memory card.

4 megapixels is more than enough for 95% of us.
