    Need a new scanner...

    I have completely lost track on the Scanner market as I haven't been on the market for ages. I need a new one now though as the old one died. It will be used for scanning things into the business website. That's all really.

    What can you recommend?

    its hard to compare as most people will probably only have experience with one or two scanners, so perhaps you'll do well to have a look at some review sites.

    that said, i really like my canon 3200. the 3200 F (film transparencies) is available for around £60. canon do a lide range which looks nice, but as they get there power from the USB ports, they take much longer to scan and cost more than they're worth IMHO. it depends on what your requirements are as always. and i would say that if you are scanning things to put on a website then you wont be needing high res. so have a look at said canon 3200 F.
