Scanner Recommendations
Hello,
I am looking for a home office scanner to make high resolution scans of my collection, for both my personal records and perhaps down the road to do a PSA Online Photo Album. I am looking to possibly go with the "Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner", which costs about $230. Would that be a good choice or are there better options out there? Thanks, Eric |

That Epson is used by quite a few board members and works great. I use the Canon CanoScan 9000F Mark II and can highly recommend it.

Thanks for the tips; I wound up getting the Canon. For anyone who uses the Canon, could you provide any tips on settings, etc. that you feel add to the quality of the image?
Thanks - Eric |

Out of the box I am thrilled with mine and nobody has complained.

I know that this may be a bit obvious, but first scan a card using the default settings. Leave the card where it is and start changing the settings that you are curious about (one increment at a time) and rescan the same card. After you do a bunch of scans, compare them and see what settings set-up works best for you.

I have the Canoscan 9000F Mark II. I like it, but it took me a while to get the settings to me liking. Still haven't figured out the trick to to scanning Chrome/shiny cards without them looking terrible. Anyone have any suggestions?

Have you considered a portable wand scanner?
You can find them pretty cheap on ebay. Here's the details on one of them that might help you - Product Information The handheld Magic Wand Portable Scanner from VuPoint scans documents, photos, newspapers, and virtually any smooth surface onto a microSD card. With a scan area of 8.27 x 25" (or 50 inches at a lower resolution), the scanner can store any letter or legal size document or image. Take the portable scanner with you to the library and scan what you need for later, no need to waste paper or money on photocopies. When you get home, simply connect the scanner to your computer with the supplied USB cable to transfer your scans. If you scanned a text document, once your file is on the computer, you can use the included OCR (optical character recognition) software to convert any printed material into editable text (Windows only; not compatible with Mac OS). The scanner runs on 2 AA batteries so you can easily replace them when they run out; no need to carry a charger around with you. Using standard AA batteries, the scanner can perform at least 180 color scans or 200 monochrome scans. |

Scanners come with CCD or CIS technology.
CCD is GOOD for slabbed cards, CIS is NOT, usually you get blurry results. For non slabbed cards, both are fine.

Canon's Canoscan line has a real good track record. I'm still using the 8400, and have done a lot of scanning with it. It's been a workhorse, and it's still doing a great job. When I get my new laptop, I'll upgrade to the 9000F mkII, but I'm happy with the results, especially with what I paid for it. Obviously, it wouldn't work for the latest Windows release, but with 7, works fine.
It handles all varieties and thicknesses of slabs with no problem.

Dropped my cannon last night, terrified it won't work now. They are so hard to replace! Will update.
