  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars not bad, but the epson puts it to shame not only in terms of scan speed (very speedy!) but also in the epson's ability to create a compact pdf file.

  1. from hmurchison, www.newegg.com
    4.0 Stars as the previous user stated on a mac this thing requires admin passwords 6 times and after that long process you're greated with abbyy finereader software that looks like it's circa 1995.

Canon CanoScan 5600F

$170.00 Est. at Amazon

  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars over time the scanners that i looked at either masked the scan so that anything other than a 35mm image would be cropped, or they were just too vague in stating what they could do.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars considering the $600+ cost of the scanner and the large number of them still in use, i feel that this shows the sorry state of hp's customer support.
  3. from Randy, www.newegg.com
    5.0 Stars cons: i wish it shipped with an outer box to hide the product information.
