...was familiar with, so selected Epson and a price bracket up to the GBP100, in order to compare their products, and was given a list of two.
1. EPSON Perfection 1670
2. EPSON Perfection 1670 Photo
The only difference between the two was GBP10.00 in price, and the Photo option had the capability to scan film negatives. I had a brief look at other brands of Scanner, such as Kodak, Minolta, Mustek and Canon, but the products that looked favourable ... ...I decided to choose the EPSON Perfection 1670 Photo.
