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 digital backups and the colour reproduction is excellent. I actually bought the scanner so i could make copies of my wedding photos rather than paying the extortionate prices the photographer wanted, and hardly anyone could tell the difference.
I would highly recommned this as an everyday scanner, with excellent colour reproduction and speed.
