Is this machine capable of transferring 16mm family film to Apple computer. If not is there something out there?

to do that on coolscan 8000 or 9000. With a glass film holder you could scan four three inch strips at one time. But it would take a long time to edit the scan into separate frames and then to assemble into a series and convert the whole thing into a digital video format.Yes it is possible but would take way too much time and would require cutting the film into 3" strips.There are probably dedicated machines for doing what you want but because 16mm was more of a professional format they may be hard to find.

What comes in the box with the scanner? What film carriers does it come with? I need 35mm, 6x7cm at least. Does it scan both negatives and slides?

In the box - 35mm filmstrip holder; 35mm slide mount holder; medium format (120) film strip holder; two masking sheets; power cable; firewire/IEEE1394 interface cable; nikon scan 3.1 (now unsupported- Vuescan is a good software option.) Quickstart and user manual.

Wow, why so expensive for such old (2001-2004) technology?!

The nikon Coolscans, along with the even more costly Hasselblad Flextight, far surpass current flatbed scanning. This model was $2,000 new in 2000, before Nikon stopped offering scanners. It remains state of the art.

what is the oldest/newest version of OSX (apple) that is compatible with this scanner? same question re: Photoshop (or PSElements) ?

I currently run my Coolscan with an iMac that is at version 10.6.8.I used to use the Coolscan before OS X came along.
