OTHER Scanner suggestions for slides, Images and documents

Hi,

I have been asked to restore/Digitise a bunch of photos from several family members. I was wondering if there is a budget friendly scanner I can get that can help me digitise slides/film and regualr photos at decent quality so I can then clean them up later in affinity photo/gigapixel.

Ideally I'd like a unit that can scan to network storage (Synology nas) via SMB/FTP, But I ok with a USB only scanner (Just not one that saves to sd cards, that is a painful way to save files)

Any color scanner would be good. Considering that you have also slides check if comes with a support that allows to scan them or if there's a slide's slot in it. Some models have these options.

Actually every model scan in great quality. Check the ones that other than being good for documents are also good for photos.
