I don't belive you can get a combination AV and slide projector...

Why not make your own? The relatively large format you would be projecting (compared to 35mm) would require either some...

At 5x7 you will get a very slight light fall of on the edges and with no movements sharpness will be OK. If you want to be really finnikey get a center spot ND filter but personally I don't worry....
