scanning/ copying photo's - reprints to cd/dvd etc

[p1tse]

i've got 100's of actual printed photo's i want to scan/ copy to cd/dvd if possible.

boots only do like upto 10 prints.
but we made a reprint from a photo the other day, and the scanning takes along time.

what's the best option for this, i see jessops has same facilities and cheaper, but didn't check on speed, quality, and numbers to cd/dvd.

some are sentimental pictures, and don't fancy a shop/ person (if there is this option), to let them do them all, just in case they loose it, rip it etc.

I use a Canon 'Canoscan 4400F' and get good results, then put them onto CD's or DVD's.

i have a home HP 3 in one unit, probably will do the job, but the speed of my comp and scanner will take hours and days to go through the several hundred i have, so thinking is there a shop which does scan in and write to cd quickly and in bulk?

You could try photographing them, but I think it would need a good lighting set up and a decent camera.

Once set up though woould be much quicker than scanning.

Onevisionimaging in Coventry offer that sort of service, I've used them before for scanning slides...
