Maybe a few things to point out to the OP. When doing large things like 4x6 paper one does not need super duper high quality to just do JPEG. And file sizes can get enormous in super high quality mode. As it is, photo scanning 35MM film negatives and slides where high quality is really needed.

And to some extent there is no difference in scanners, but a specialized document scanner will automate paper handling with things like automatic document feeder and a film scanner may have special carriers for film and popular paper sizes. And a photo scanner may have some corrective software.

Don't get canon LIDE scanners, they're crap. Get http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/scanners/film_negative_scanners/canoscan_9000f . It's a lot bigger than LIDE but quality, scanning speed are a lot better.
