Epson's Expression 11000XL Photo Scanner scanner is one of the only large format scanners I know of on the market. It can do pictures 12.2” X 17.2”, which just covers A3 size. Its not cheap tho as thier $3200. It can also do film/transparacy scanning as well.

A much cheaper option is Mustek's A3 1200S. If you can find one, it should only set you back a couple hundred bucks, but it doesnt scan at anywhere near the resolution as the Epson. 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi whereas the Epson is 2400 dpi x 4800 dpi.

Here is a link to the Mustek at Walmart, but its currently out of stock.

Here is one in stock for roughly $200.

Be forwarned tho, Mustek scanners do not have a good reputation. Supposedly they break down left and right. Large format flatbed scanners are basically an endangered species in the market today. The only one I can really recommend qualiy wise is the Epson.

$3200 is way over my budget.

Yeah, thats a lot of money. You could always check out used prices on eBay or older Epson models on eBay. You might be able to shave off 50-60% in the used market.
