I've recently ( 6 months ago bought a Canon Pixma MP800 which will deal with your negatives and slides. I got mine from www.Amazon.co.uk at a reasonable price ( considering what you can do with it). Have a look. The Canon range IS good. I’ve recently ( 6 months ago bought a Canon Pixma MP800 which will deal with your negatives and slides.

This will mean that you need to obtain a scanner that has a separate negative scanner as a normal scanner is "reflective", meaning that it uses reflected light to obtain the image it is scanning. This won't work with negatives and slides. You need something that shines light through that media. Some scanners already have this facility built in, but there are scanners that you can purchase add-on slide/negative scanners for. Sorry I can't help with brands of scanner that you might find useful, but I felt the need to respond with something that others are obviously missing.
