Photography Question

Scanners


I want to buy a scanner to scan photographs onto my computer. I will be sending a jpeg file of them for advertisement. What is a good, mid-range in cost, scanner to buy. I use Adobe Photo Elements.
Thanks,
Carolyn

  Howdy. Recently I bought an Epson Perfection V700 scanner supplied with ICE technology and Epson software, Photoshop3, Silver Fast software, all the film holders for 35mm, 120, 4x5 and 8x10. This is a very cool scanner, and for someone like me who's digitially impaired, I got the thing up and scanning in about 15 minutes. Jpegs, Tiffs, whatever you need.
It'll scan anything, docs, film, chromes, prints, hands, 72 DPI to 8-900 DPI and doesn't miss a thing.
About $500 bucks from B&H. I highly recommend both B&H and this scanner.
Take it light.

  Hey Carolyn, I almost forgot: Here's a really nice interactive review of the V700. One of the things that sold me on it. http://www.photo-i.co.uk/Reviews/interactive/Epson%20V700/page_1.htm

Besides from this one, it seems it got consistently good scores from all those who reviewed it including digitally impaired (like us ) and pros alike. If you've got any questions about it, I'd be glad to try and answer them for ya. Just hollar ;>0)
