So I'm going to start scanning and archiving all the old pictures collecting dust deep inside the Inaction Family archives and I need advice on a scanner that can do the whole film/slide scanning. What kind of price am I looking at for a consumer/prosumer level scanner? What specs do I look for?

I have an old flatbed that I can use for pics that have no negtives so feel free to chime in on what resolution I should scan at. I doubt I'd ever need to print these any larger than 8X10. What software do you photo gurus use to restore old/damaged photos, I have PS Elements-will this suffice? (some of my grandfathers WWII pics are in pretty rough shape and I really want to fix these up). And they are also pretty small - about 4X4. So yeah, advise away.
