Scanner recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a scanner that scans really, really fast? Looking to scan a ton of old pictures and i'll smash mine with a bat if I even try Angry

Can be scanner only, all-in-one or portable.

Re: Scanner recommendations?

  • I assume it has to be reasonably priced?

    Because over in our IT area, we have one that's an HP that RAWKS.  But I know it's super-de-duper expensive.  (but I stick a stack of slides in, click "OK" and it does it.  wallah.  Haven't used it for photos but everyone says it works for that too)

    I can try to find out what it is later this week but I"m pretty sure it's over $500...

  • Yeah $500 is more than I was thinking. It won't be used for business purposes or mass scanning. Although there are a lot of old pics we want to get scanned and backed up, I don't want to spend that kind of cash. Once those pics are done the scanner won't be of much use.

    I guess a price under 1-200?

  • Hmm, I'll see what I know...My favorite mathematician owes me some tech knowledge :-P
  • I have a Xerox documate 510, and it's been a godsend. I think it lets you scan 50 pages per minute or some such nonsense. I rarely scan that much, only when I'm doing quarterly uploads, but it works and is easy and you can turn the documents into PDFs, BMPs, etc...

  • I have an HP Deskjet F4435 printer/scanner/copier.  I got it for $39.99 from Target about 6 weeks ago.  

    I've been using it to scan old photos.  It is quick and the quality is much better than I expected for something so cheap.

    The printer is pretty good, too.
