buying scanner · DIGIT-ARC

C

i want to buy a decent scanner ..just for scanning documents and photographs.I am just a student ...not for commercial pusposes.

Condition is that it must be cheap but should still efficient.
Value for money .

K

get a benq or canon entry level for aroun 2.6-3K

I think whatever you do go for a hp scanner they are the best and have very good support. At least that is my experience.
Ive been using my HP 3200C for the last 5-6 years without any major breakdown excpt that i had to get its tube changed as it was getting weaker apart from that i use my machine very roughly and hardly clean it either.

does anybody remember which issue of digit reviewed the scanners

I own a HP 3400 n the performance is OK and
the price is also very affordable.
Also Microtek is a good brand when it comes to affordable entry level scanners.
Check their site.

HP scanners are really good. Most of my friends have it and the prices arre not too much.

@krishna - BENQ scanners ?? Who uses them ??

Benq is just OK if ur on a tight budget.

many home users use it as it is aroung 700 bucks cheaper without as such fall in qaulity

I have been using HP 2300C entry level model from HP. Amazing clarity of photographs. Even with some stray marks on the glass Scans are very well taken. u will get it for around 3K

i am using canon lide 20 and pretty satisfied by its scanning capabilities
it can be programed to to remove noise or dust easily
