| 152515 | 2003-06-14 07:58:00 | I'm looking for a scanner that's around $250 bucks or less. I'm just going to use it for general scanning of documents, maybe photos/colour documents at times (not negatives). I've read some PC World articles, in the buyers guide it says that the best home scanner is HP Scanjet 3500, but I'm not so sure on that. The Epson Perfection 1260 seems to boast more dpi than the Scanjet model. And recommendations? |

Try <www.reviewfinder.com to look at reviews, there are plenty of other sites too. There always seems to be one Brand that is better value at any one time. I'm sure there will be lots of recommendations but in the end it is up to you to choose the best for you and the better informed you are the better your choice will be.( I'm still happy with my 4 year old Microtek, which does everything I want it to.) |

| 152517 | 2003-06-14 20:26:00 | Hi, I might have to aggree with PC World on that one. Well, I have had a HP5100C scanner for about six years with no problems. Now I am using a CanoScan D64-46 scanner, which costed about $130 with has a maximum of 1200 dpi. The only advantage it has between both models is the higher dpi, and that it is usb. My suggestion is, go for HP Brands. Although the prices of these ones can be excessive, at least you do get your moneys worth. |
