There are an increasing number of flatbed scanners which now include film carriers to scan negatives and slides, although they're usually not said to be quite as good as dedicated film scanners.
I've got an Epson F3200, which has carriers for 35mm film strips, 35mm slides, medium format film, 5"x4" film and 6"x4" prints. Admittedly I'm probably never going to use the 5"x4" carrier but I do do the odd bit of medium format (and if I find them there are probably lots of medium format negatives in my Dad's house I could scan in).
I do have a lot of slides from the late 70's early 80s, and this scans in eight at a time, after you've put them in the carrier and clipped them into place. I get reasonable results, especially after I've run them through Photoshop Elements (I don't want to spend £££lots on full Photoshop, and Elements does most stuff I actually need) to tidy them up.
But that's just one suggestion, I'm sure there'll be others. Also the photo mags you can find in your local newsagent often have reviews of such things, so really it depends on how much you want to spend!
