Advantages: Quick and quiet. Disadvantages: A little bit big.
...shop Pro, but with this AGFA scanner, you scan the picture, and you can save it either to a file or import it to a picture editing software. Pretty handy. I normally scan in the pictures then edit them later.
I must admit, althought this is a bit of a big scanner, it's damn good. It's quiet, quick, and you get very high quality pictures from it. What else do you want....i love it....although it did put me off because of the size, but now i rather ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Agfa SnapScan 1212u
Advantages: USB, Looks good, simple to use Disadvantages: Yet another product with poor documentation
The Agfa SnapScan 1212u is a USB flatbed scanner. It is mostly recommended for home use and maybe small business. The first thing you notice when you open the box is the dual Macintosh and Windows 98 support. Nothing mentionned about earlier versions of Windows. This is interesting if you own a PC besides your Mac and need to scan images to use on a PC. Agfa claims that its color capture is 36-bit and reaches over 68 billion colors. Its plate takes ... ...now the present.
Conclusion
Around the £100 price range, the Agfa SnapScan 1212u gives you great value for money and is in my opinion, the perfect digital imaging companion of its class for any computer equipped with USB ports. It is an excellent scanner, ideal for home use. ...

Advantages: Very fast, good sharp image Disadvantages: Slightly noisy
I was looking for a good performance, cheap scanner for my student work. I saw a magasine review and it said that the Snapscan 1212u was the best. So I bought it for 70 pounds at my local PC World store. Installation was very simple, and took minutes with the USB connection, however the software has a futureistic look to it that takes a few seconds to get used to. The quality and speed of the scans is very good, and the 600dpi resolution is very ...

Advantages: Uses USB, easy to set up, good software. Disadvantages: Not quite the quickest.
As a student, I look for value for money so I bought this scanner for £117, once I had got it installed (which was simple) it worked without problems. The translucent blue case looks very stylish, and makes it appear to 'glow' when scanning. The scanning software 'Scanwise' has a good step be step mode for those new to scanning. Using the software you can achieve a maximum interpolated resolution of 9600dpi. It also comes with Omni Page Limited Edition ...

...be freely downloaded from the Agfa site.
I often scan glossy laminated products and it copes with the reflective surfaces without problem. Another joy for me is that when I scan old documents I need to keep creases etc intact for authenticity. It handles this fine and I have even been asked how I put the creases in!
For me though, the main benefit is the ability to just select a destination program and it's launched with the scanned document ready ...
