DC4800 A Good Buy!

Advantages: Ready to shoot, ease of use, good selection of settings
Disadvantages: weired shape to handle

...fell in love with the Kodak DC 4800 for the following reasons *Kodak is a name I trust. *It had 3.1 Megapixel uncompressed resolution (which was very good back then) *3 x zoom optical *2 x zoom digital *Had a viewing screen on the rear *Does all the things my happy snappy cameras did So what functions are there on the camera I hear you ask (oh yes I so! Or is that just the voices inside my head again?) Well you get these: ## Camera top / front ## *Self-timer button *Exposure compensation dial *Power button (on off) *Flash pop up button *Flash unit *Flash button *Shutter button *Mode dial *Self-timer light (light warns you when photo is about to be taken ? handy) *Landscape/close up button *Status display panel ~~ Status display panel ~~ >Manual mode >Distant >Close up >Black and white function >ISO setting...

Review of Kodak DC 4800

Slim. Sharp. Stylish. The Scanjet 2400.

Advantages: Fast, simple image scanning. Very stylish design. Excellent Price.
Disadvantages: None!

...off to my nearest computer fair, to search for a brand new scanner. I hadn't much to spend on the day, just under 40 quid infact, so owning the creme de la creme of scanners wasn't an option. I did however, find the HP Scanjet 2400 in one stall, looking most impressive on the box, I found myself checking out the specifications and asking the stall owner the price. The gruff reply was "37.99 mate", awesome, I thought. Even got enough money left for a happy meal! So I strolled out of the place lugging...)well not so much lugging it must have only weighed a couple of kilograms) a brand new scanner. The Scanner Upon arriving home I went about setting up the scanner. Scanners are all readily assembled, so installation is as simple as plugging in the lead. While not exactly tiny, the size is necessary - most scanners have to be big...

Review of HP ScanJet 2400 Digital Flatbed Scanner

ScanJet - fast but inconsistent scans

Advantages: quick, decent software, good images after some repeats and fiddling
Disadvantages: inconsistent quality

...When I bought this Scanjet 4890 I was looking for a scanner that would be able to quickly scan photos, slides and negatives at high quality as well as being a good all rounder. It was quite expensive when it was new and hasn?t always given me the quality I expected. It was aimed at the amateur photographer and identified as being an efficient, high speed, stylish scanner perfect for restoring and archiving photographs, slides and negatives. As scanners go it is fairly attractive and unobtrusive in design. Constructed in a dark bluish grey it looks professional and is well made. The scanner only has 4 buttons (Scan, Scan film, Copy, Scan to share) so is easy to get started and use. It has an adjustable lid which allows it to scan bulky items, such as books, more easily. It is a reasonable size and weight; its vital statistics are...

Dexxa Flatbed Scanner 4800

Advantages: well priced
Disadvantages: A bit larger than most modern scanners

...If you are looking for a well priced easy to use desktop scanner, look no further. In the past 12 to 18 months most hardware has seen dramatic price reductions and in the case of flatbed scanners there is no exception. The biggest problem here is knowing which makes and models will be most compatible to which computers, also what capabilities they have. The Dexxa 4800 Flatbed Scanner is very standard as far as looks go but handles virtually all types of materials to scan, if you placed your hand on the screen it would even scan that clearly. The scan range (resolution) is anything between 50 and 4800 DPI which I'm sure for anyone is more than enough, besides which the high end resolutions would take enormous amounts of memory and super powerful computers to be any use. For most people the Dexxa 4800 is ideal and will work easily...

Fuji FP4800 - Stunning looks with quality results

Advantages: Stylish, takes great photos, pleasure to use.
Disadvantages: Falling behind a little in spec terms...

...INTRODUCTION I purchased my Fuji FinePix 4800 around a year ago after doing a lot of research into what the best digital camera for me would be. I eventually settled on the 4800 due to excellent reviews I had read, its stunning looks and the great deal I found on it (£200 from a small camera dealer). THE CAMERA The camera arrived; I was immediately struck by its beautiful design (after all, it was designed by Porsche!). Smooth and sleek with excellent textures, all of the controls look like they belong exactly where they're placed and the whole thing is extremely tactile. It?s just the right weight so that it feels solid but not too chunky. It just about goes in my pocket but perhaps it could have done with being a little smaller/lighter. All of the camera's extremities are concealed within the camera while its off, turning...

Epson DX4800 All In One Printer/Copier/Scanner

Advantages: Easy to Install and Use, Array Of Functions, Good Value.

Review of Epson Stylus DX4800

My HP Scanjet 2400 Experience

Advantages: Inexpensive
Disadvantages: Not too user-friendly

...My HP Scanjet 2400 experience began when I inserted the installation CD, this began to run and immediately stopped with a 'Macromedia Projector' error message. I presume 'Macromedia Projector' is software used to momentarily give a flashy display before the installation starts. Overkill that died!!! I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2 so my guess is that there was a conflict. So I explored the CD, found the Setup files and ran these to install the software. I think this worked, although I have no idea if I got the full software set. Next I tried to scan a series of A4 (paper size) documents as A4 documents using the HP Director control software. Could I do this? Not without a good deal of manual intervention because after each scan the scanner insisted on removing the margins and I had to manually drag them back into place...
