...did I buy? : The Epson 1650 Photo scanner, costing around £157 at www.dabs.com. I also paid the extra £3 to have it delivered after 5pm. It just goes to show how much cheaper this kit is getting. I’m sure I paid way more than that for the 4100c, and it doesn’t (or rather didn’t) do as much! The 1650 Photo comes firmly in the middle of Epson’s quality and price range, being neither a “pro” model nor entry level.

Well, it’s a flatbed ... ...the collective umbrella of the Epson “Smart Panel” once installed and all your scanning needs can be initiated from here.
The second CD installs Adobe Photoshop Elements – OK so I gave in and installed it. It was either that or look at one “greyed-out” option in the Smart Panel!

I’ve just been scanning some favourite photos so I can include them in a digital photo frame for my dad and I thought I’d share some details about this nifty scanner.
It was bought last autumn originally to try to capture pictures from some water... more
I purchased this scanner for two purposes: the bulk scanning of my father's considerable collection of 35mm slides and for my own use scanning documents, 35mm and Medium Format slides and negatives.
For both tasks it has performed admirably. It has a... more
After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before... more
Cheap easy to fit and works with Vista too. Quality of image produced is very good. This scanner though is let down by its software. Yes, you can do almost anything you want but the software is oriented around single jobs. If you have an application... more
I absoutly love this scanner, it is fantastic and great value for money at £69.99 for a scanner you cant go wrong.
