I recently transferred 25 super-8 reels at Lightpress here in Seattle (formerly called Flying Spot Film Transfer). More info:
Lightpress
1008 western avenue, suite 201
seattle, wa 98104
t: 206 462
4717
http://lightpress.tv/
I transferred to 1080p and left with both an HD SR tape and a harddrive storing uncompressed quicktime files. Light Press is expensive, but they do great work, in my opinion.

Cinelab just did a best-lite HD transfer of my 16mm workprint. I've only ever had SD transfers before and have never seen my film translate to video so well. The job was well-done and affordable. It was my first time working with Cinelab and based on my experience I would recommend them.
