Great Product Works with Vista:
This scanner is great I dont know why people gave it bad reviews?... The Scan took long time but it gave what I want ^^ took longer then 10 days to reach my house ^^
good for what i need now:
Good scanner. I just needed better quality images for website; better than just digital photos. I have to work on them in photoshop, but if you have photoshop it's a good scanner for the money.
great scanner:
This is a great all purpose scanner. Power supply through USB - so no additional cabling etc.
Great image quality. I have been using it since 2005 - flawless.
Quite compact - so one can carry it in a briefcase, if necessary.
And - works with a Mac quite seamlessly.
Even works with SANE (linux, unix). Only thing that I miss is the ADF. But of course, that will significantly reduce the portability of the scanner.
Great all-purpose scanner for a home business!:
I'm really not a tech-expert, so I can't provide details about the technical specifications that make this a great scanner, however, I can say that I have a home-based business and I find this to be a great product for what I need. It's very very light, easy to transport, and the best thing is that you don't need a power cord! Yes, you just hook it up by USB to your computer and that's it, it's ready to go! I also like the software it comes with, it's easy to use and for my business needs it's just perfect.
