a good practical scanner for both photocopying and
Email transmission of all the type of documents that i use for inclusion into my Family Tree Programme,also good colour rendition too. Easy to use
I bought this scanner as I had a load of old family slides to convert. I like the expandable hinge so you can scan articles out of thick books and the resolution on the slide/film scanner is excellent. Unfortunately it is a little fiddly and slow - scanning only a slide a minute and this excludes the loading/unloading time. (Normal scanning is faster.) I would maybe look at another option if you're thinking of scanning 1000's of slides/films. On the good side the software which comes with it is quite powerful if a little clunky (looks like a Unix Solaris port) and it has served me well over the last few months. Certainly worth a lot more than the measly budget price I paid!
