| 392986 | 2005-10-02 07:02:00 | Pato, you will probably have to privately import that model here into NZ, as I doubt you will find it stocked by anyone (at least Google shows nobody selling it, nor PriceSpy). Best to get an off-the-shelf model that is supported here, there are dozens of them and they start at around NZ $95 Typical one is: ascent.co.nz Snap! I was just looking at that Genius they advertise and it looks pretty good and a fair price. I didn't realise Joe was Stateside at first and agree it is better to buy locally. Cheers. |

| 392987 | 2005-10-02 07:41:00 | Is it working with Windows XP. That sounds as tho it would do me as I don't want anything flash. Yes, it works well with Windows 98SE and XP. |

| 392988 | 2005-10-02 09:35:00 | if you want a good basic scanner, canon have a great range. they have small A4 size ones that i like - it's small & thin, cheap, good software & easy to setup. these are current models so they work with xp. go to any large store & have a look. i've used these the last few years - from parallel to usb. | quarry (252) | ||
| 392989 | 2005-10-03 09:31:00 | Generally all scanners are pretty good if youy gonna scan a sheet or a print. Some can be nice as they scan film as well, but quality wise they are more picky to your wallet for a decent scan. FYI: Epson 4990 are used by hobbyists and the older version is also good like 4870 or such ... Google will get you good reviews on that product. Its generally good enof for film, one down from dedicated film scanners. Prob more so for film larger than 35mm since those larger film scanners are so much more pricey. N. |

Did you want to scan photos or maybe books or text? Does Textbridge or Omnipage come with the scanner? For photos no problem. Text is different. |
