    Hey there,

    I'm planning to buy a flatbad scanner to scan old family photos, I have a budget of 150 euro(ex shipping)

    I was wondering if there is anyone here that knows things about scanners?

    Also the scanning dpi, is there a much difference really in the quality? betweek say 4800x9600dpi and 3200x9600?

    So, what I have picked is this one,

    It's exactly on top of my budget and from the look at the settings, looks good.

    Are epson any good with scanners?

    I bought one of these in PCWorld for €35 & it has five one touch buttons for easy scanning, printing, copying, emailing & one that is configurable by the user (I use it for Faxing)

    The quality is excellent & it is ideal for photos. (Driver available from their site for Vista too)

    It was the best bang for buck I got in a long time.

    I couldn't fault it.
