Check out the Kodak CIS 1200 system. It will scan an uncut roll of 35mm in
under 5 minutes at 2kx3k resoultion. They claim 100 scans per hour. Also
will do slides in a tray option. Files can be various formats such as PCD,
Flashpix, Tiff etc.  See the web page at:

Price, as I recall, was around $50K and the unit at the Stanford U. Media Center was extremely fast and had been reliable in their production environment.
