Advantages: Looks Great - Very Stylish, Compact & Very Light. Disadvantages: Not Bright Enough At All
...The Toshiba TLP-S30 Projector
This projector is very aesthetically pleasing, it looks very modern and and the face of it looks to be a great projector.
There are several important factors to look at when considering buying a projector and that is the brightness. This projector boasts a 1400 lumen lamp. For those of you who aren't used to projector terminology, lumens are just a unit for the measure of how bright the bulb in a projector is (and lamp is just the correct term for a projector bulb) Now this isn't an amazing brightness, but the Sanyo PLC-SU20 (just as an example) works comfortably at 1200 lumens and around 1500 lumens is really what somebody new to projectors should probably be looking at.

Advantages: 1280 x 1024 Maximum Resolution Disadvantages: Not designed for ceiling mounting.
...with you to the office and it's copact size makes it ideal for someone who has to take the train/tube to work.
The picture quality is excellent with this projector, owing mainly to its 1280 x 1024 resolution.

Advice on buying this projector secondhand would be to check the lamp hours. This projector has...

Advantages: Fast, film scanning, high resolution Disadvantages: poor film scanning, no standby button
...of a proper standby button/mode annoyed me. Even if they didn't want the button, they could have built in an auto-time off or something. You actually have to unplug the scanner to turn it off the lamp.
The other let down is the cover for the lamp is very cheap, and awkward to remove/replace. It has to be removed for film scanning. The document bed is also easily marked from fingers etc.
Support?

I have had to issues to contact support yet, but you can download drivers and manuals from the Canon website.
Conclusion
This scanner cost me £99 from PC World. Personally, I find that to be a reasonable price for the product, you may be able to find it cheaper on the internet. It also comes with a free 12-month membership to national Geographic magazine with makes it better value for money....
