Or project the slide onto a flat white surface and take a photo of it?

Would my 4.2 million pixel Fuji accomplish this?

Should do...

You'd introduce extra geometric distortion, but it might not be too
noticeable. Also, with a projector, the light levels are likely to be rather

You can fix that in photoshop....

lower than what your digital camera likes, so it might not take such good
pictures.

Most digitals will run in low light - and a projected image is not that
dim. One problem you may find is getting a "hot spot" - i.e. the centre
of the projected image may be better lit than the edges.

You may also get a result with one of the cine to video transfer boxes.
These allow you to shine a projector in one side, and point a video
camera into the other for the purposes of copying from old film to
video. You should not get any geometric distortion with this approach.

I have a feeling you can get hold of an adaptor to connect to a camera that
allows slides ot be lit for taking a photo of. A specialist adaptor like
that may work better.

You can get slide copier lenses for most SLRs not sure on the
availability for "ordinary" digital cameras.
