I had high Hope's for this scanner and I was not disappointed. I cannot recommend this scanner enough. Easy setup (on my iMac) and simple operation. I scanned 1400 family photos this weekend. I have thousands more to go and look forward to finishing a project that I had been sitting on for years.

This is a great photo scanner, even will do thick pictures (need to change settings) just read the instructions. The auto enhancement feature works well but I like to do extra touch ups in light room. Make sure to clean and blow out the unit per instructions.

It's slower at photo scanning than the FastFoto FF-640, but it's far more versatile, because it is much better at document scanning, which means you'll still have plenty of use for it once you've scanned through all your shoeboxes of old snaps.

Blooming expensive I have to say but it does exactly what it says on the tin and is the only thing I could find that does scan boxes of stills. Quality is very good
