Photo scanners...

[Fire Me Boy!]

Anyone have any recommendations for a flatbed photo scanner sub-$150? Don't have any desire for a fax or copier all-in-one thingy. Need a good scanner, and I tend to think when you mash everything into one product you end up have one machine that does three things OK rather one thing really well.

Negative scanner is not a necessity, but would be nice.

Looking closely at the Epson Perfection V300 | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B001GBKTGM/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance

Got a good review from PC World: http://pcworld.about.com/od/peripherals2/Epson-Perfection-V300-Photo-Sc.htm

ill tell you right now if you want a good multifunction machine you better be ready to spend some bread. 150 will get a true pos.

I like the Epson Perfection series. I support a bunch of Espon Perfection V700s in several labs, and they've performed very well and haven't had any problems. I'll bet you'd be happy with that.

epson scanners at any price point are your best choice
