I order this model of scanner a few months ago now and I am quite impressed with the quality of it. I ordered it from www.buy.com and it only cost £35.00 and received it a couple of days later. As you will probably know when you receive any new hardware for the pc and that goes for software too actually, you have to install it on your pc. Now I can do simple things like install a game as it generally does it for you but when it comes to hardware ...
...it for me. So about 10 mins later he installed it onto my pc then we had to load all the software on to the pc. The whole process took about half an hour. Now it is ready to use.

Once you have scanned it then you can store it on your pc for future use. I am quite impressed at how quick it scans in ... Read review

I bought my Visioneer Strobe XP 100 because it is a great little scanner for use on the move. My main PC that I use for work is a laptop with docking station and I wanted something that would easily connect with that. I needed something that would let me organise all of my documents, photos, articles, brochures, and business cards and this Visioneer gave me all of that in a very compact unit that was light and easy to carry. It will pack easily into ...
...the USB port which mean I am able to scan documents anywhere I go and I don't have to carry lots of power leads and adaptors. It is a small scanner which works by means of a roller which takes in your document through a slot on the top, passes it over the scanner, and then pushes it out through the back. Because of its method of operation it is less than 300mm wide (12") and barely 50mm deep (2") so it takes up no space at all. The downside is that ... Read review

Benq 4300 Scanner is good for personal use but it is not much efficient like Other photo scanner.

Advantages: Beautiful print quality scans-Extremely easy to use software. Quick copy utility. Extremely easy installation and setup of software.
Disadvantages: Scanner is exceptionaly large,

When scanning 35mm photos I don't think any scanner can exceed the quality of the Acer. If you're scanning for web pictures then a 300dpi resolution is more than adaquate for a quality picture and the scan time is very short. If you want to scan at a higher resolution for prints this option is available, along with different scaling settings, and a multitude of other settings. All of which are easy to understand and work exceptionaly well. For pictures ...
...that it can be purchased on Ubid.com. Most bids on it don't exceed £40 and with shipping the total cost was £60. Then there's a £10 rebate, There is an OCR Utility with the unit, maybe someone else can shed some light on this as I don't use it. It was purchased mainly for scanning pictures and copying text (unchanged). Another software came with the scanner--Ulead's Photo Express Version 2.0. I have opened the scanner software from 3 differnt Imaging ... Read review

...and swapped it for the Acer 2720s and haven't had a problem since. As an aside, Jessops were extremely co-operative about the whole process. Specification ************* The 2720s is a 2700 bits-per-inch scanner which can take slides or 35mm negatives which it loads from cartridges. Three cartridges are supplied, one for negatives, and one for each of thin and thick mounted slides. It will scan up to 36bit colour, but I have only used it at 24bit ...
...Windows 2000 and according to Acer needs a minimum of 32Mb of memory. That last part is wrong, the scanner driver may work with that but you will not be able to edit your pictures easily. I use paintshop pro, and I upgraded my PC to 64Mb. That is barely adequate. The scanner comes with Ulead Photo Express and Photoshop LE. I prefer paintshop, but Ulead products have always been good in my experience. My *experience* of the product ****************************** ... Read review
