Scanners

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I have an iMac and am ready to purchase a scanner. I have read so many reviews that I am totally confused at this point! Can you recommed a scanner for the iMac (under $250)? I appreciate any help you can give me at this point. Thank Y

Georganne:

A) The HP PhotoSmart only works in Windows 98, so that's out. B) The only Film Scanner in your price neighborhood is the Olympus model reviewed here. C) Try the auction sites, they may have something in your price range. D) In that price range, consider flatbed scanners. You can get a lot for $250 in flatbeds, but you will give up image quality in comparison to negative and slide scanners.
