Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Shortly put, this scanner is amazing albeit pricey. It's exactly what we wanted - you can take groups of photos of any orientation/size, and just put them into the feeder. It really does scan at about 30photos/min at 300dpi; we scanned at 600dpi and it probably got through almost 20 per minute. It has a fairly small footprint (we packed it in our carry-on and have been taking it to our various family gatherings across the continent to digitize family photos that could otherwise be lost to disaster/fire, or keep the box it comes in and just throw the box into your checkin luggage (survived several flights without problems so far!). A few minor downsides to the scanner in our 3 weeks of experience with it thus far:
1. Works best if you can arrange to have a flatbed scanner handy as well. The reason is that if you're going through old photos, you may come across the rare photo that is oversize (ie. greater than letter size) which may not fit in the scanner. Also, teh scanner does have problems with really small photos (ie. 1" x 2" photos don't always get detected readily). Thirdly, if you have photos in one of those old lined-sticky albums, you may have trouble getting your photos out without tearing them and may want to opt for using a flatbed scanner.
2. Though the scanner program has an autorotate option, it doesn't work well especially when there are no faces in the photos for it to autodetect. Rotating photos 90degrees is easily achieved with a push of a button, but the program lacks a button to rotate photos 180degrees with a single push (you have to click 90degrees rotation twice). This seems like a small concern, but when you have 2500+ photos to go through and manually rotate, you will begin to wish a 180degree rotation button existed.
3. The scanner requires an included USB-activator key to be plugged into the scanning computer at the same time for use. I worry about losing the USB key at some point, but I guess from a business perspective it prevents folks from stealing the scanner as you can keep the usbkey separately and it likely renders the scanner useless without it.
