I do have a scanning digital camera. actually.

It's got a linear CCD (I can't remember the resolution, around 2000=20

Nikon (35mm SLR) lenses.
Shoot slide film
and use a slide copier with that camera to digitize
the slides. A Nikon mount slide copier or macro lens should be no problem. That is what many DSLR users do to digitize
there old slides.
A slide scanner is better, but much more expensive. If the quality of
the photographed slides is good enough there is no reason to spend $$$$
The quality of my slides exceeds the resolution of this device...
for a proper slide scanner.
