Pros: Nice Scans, Easy to Use Cons: Poor Software Package
I got this scanner a little less then a year ago. It came with a SCSI card with an external port and a small software package. This is a pretty straightforward scanner. It is easy to use and I haven't run into any problems with it yet. I don't...
Pros: price, value, performance, resolution, color correctness Cons: software, mediocre slide performance, dust with shipping, light aging
Introduction
I purchased this scanner about two years ago, and have been using it ever since. I've had generally good experience with it, but there are a few things I find lacking.

Pros: Excellent scans, good software, good price Cons: The transparency adapter is poor.

Pros: easy to use, nice images Cons: really large (takes up a lot of space)
My husband reviewed all the latest information before we purchased our scanner and heard that this one was really good. In fact, they even got a couple of this exact model for his office to use for their graphics work.
We have used it at home for...
