Can anyone recommend a negative/slide scanner that will meet or exceed the resolution of my digital SLR?
My digital SLR takes photographs at a resolution of 3872 x 2592 (10.2 megapixels). As I have always found this to be satisfactory, I'd like a film scanner that can at the very least meet this. However, most film scanners don't seem to state the resolution in pixels, instead quoting the number of dots per inch. Could anyone tell me if this scanner
will meet the resolution that I require, and if not, are there any other good ones that I could purchase for around £100 or less?

I use an Epson V500.
I generally get 15mp out of a 35mm frame of film and 25mp out a 6x7cm frame of film.
