Digital film scanner - advice please

I purchased a HP one (cant remember which model) for my father in law a few years ago as he had boxes of old slides and negatives going back 60yrs. He loves it and got the hang of it quiet quickly (he's 75). It's fantastic as family had never seen some of the photos and the quality is excellent.

Thanks very much, I'll look into that one. If its simple enough for my mum to use that will be even better!
