Epson Perfection 1670 PHOTO

Advantages: Able to scan photos, documents, slides and film negatives
Disadvantages: Can only scan 2 slides at a time

...This scanner is very easy to use, with the software that comes with this Epson 1670 you can scan an image and email it to friends or relatives, also at the click of a button you can even publish an image to the web. This particular model comes with a 35mm Transparency Adapter allowing you to scan not only photos and documents but also two slides or transparencies as they are also known at the same time. You can also use this adapter to scan film negatives, which you can then either print out or save for future editing using the software included. The advantage of this flat bed scanner over others is that it automatically removes dust from images giving a clear and much sharper image than other flat bed scanners.... Read review

Advantages: Good quality, Low price, V.Easy install
Disadvantages: Occasional freezing of software if scanner program left inactive

Advantages: Fast, great colour reproduction, easy to use
Disadvantages: no negative holder, outdated

...Unless you are specifically going to scan a large number of good quality negatives (if you are digitising your entire film based photo collection for example) then this scanner is brilliant. It doesn't have a negative holder, and it doesn't have the highest resolution on the market, but unless you are working with negatives or slides, it simply doesn't matter. The scanner has a maximum optical resoltion of 1600x1600dpi. You will never need to go anywhere near this high, as the files this type of resolution produce are enormous. For scanning of photos, documents, or anything else, this scanner excels. It can scan a document in just a matter of seconds, and with the excellent software bundle supplied, can recognise it and convert it to a word document in less than a minute. I've used it to scan really nice 8"x6" photos, to make... Read review
