Can the 700 or 750 scan microfiche? Does anyone think these are worth me trying?

Hi Jman, did you ever get an answer to your question - I have the same requirements and wonder if you found a solution.

Well, as of June 2008, there is a post in the CanoScan 8600 vs. 8800 discussion by CM-Monkey (I believe is his moniker) where he reports buying the V500 and the 8800 and his side by side comparison ends with Epson V500 the winner! So, where do we go now with this discussion? I'd rather not have to buy both scanners to do a side by side comparison myself.

I use it for fine art scanning. It works great. But you have to open the scanning toolbox and set the scanning PPI to 600. Then you get a really, really good quality scan.

The scanning quality is good, depending on your setting. Scanning for "professional printing" is a little vague because you didn't mention size or the type of artwork. I have not been unhappy with any of the functions.

Hello D.K.,I can only speak to my own experience with the V500. It has worked above and beyond my expectations. I have scanned over 100 Kodachrome slides, and they are perfect. I find that they scan very clean with just a little spot work to be done in Photoshop. I have not even used the ICE option. The images are excellent, and the resolution permitted me to print a 20 x 30 of one of my favorite shots. Based on my experience, unless you are doing high volume scanning, the V500 is more than adequate.MB

I have no idea - while the scanner has proved to be a good quality scanner, we gave up after lousy support to use the data the read, we just use the scanned files. it's a shame, really, as the concept appears great - but then again, their system can not even interpret any receipts in Euros.

I need an ADF scanner that will be used mainly for business cards scanning. Which one do you recommend? Thanks!

When scanning are you running it through the document feeder or scanning from the glass? As regards scanning to other PCs are the units you are trying to scan to all connected via a network?

Yes. It does a good KOB scanning documents for reprint or to email. I'm not sure about photos as I haven't ever tried to scan and reprint those.

I just called Canon and asked the same question. They said that one big difference is that the 830 copies and scans double sided. (I thinks that's what they said.) The 530 does not do that.

I bought it specifically to scan a collection of Kodak color slides taken in the 60s - 70s along with old prints and it has done an excellent job. I would recommend it. Here's a review from PC Magazine written in November 2009: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2355184,00.asp

I am looking at the V500 compared to the 4490. Any suggestions? The reviews all rave about the V500 for slides and negatives, which I too plan to scan, but I also have many old photos.

That's what I've used it for. I think it does a great job with them. I've compared them to the photos I got scanned from photo bin and they were about the same but without all the hassle of mailing them off and in the end is much better cost wise. Its hard to get them all to be perfectly straight when fed through if you do it in a hurry but theres a tool in their software that before you save them into your computer, you can crop them a little to make them straight. I'm actually not going to use my remaining groupons for photo bin and use the doxie cause its just as good. One caveat, I'm copying older photos so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Maybe newer ones won't be as sharp, don't know. That's what I've used it for. I think it does a great job with them.

You could get away w/ ScanSnap ix1500, Mine takes a beating and does fine. The other more expensive units might not do any better. But pick the one that is the newest You really cannot go wrong with Fujitsu

I've only scanned a handful of docs-seems to work good. Our multi page feeder works great. We have the 8910 at our front desk-small healthcare office & I have our old 8860 back by my desk & that still works good including multi feeder after 5 or 6 years. We like the Brother machines after several bad experiences with HP. Good luck. Jim

Actually it can. If you have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate, you can use Windows XP mode and scan away. I'm doing it right now! I've had mine for years, never had to call for support, so I can't vouch for that, but I've scanned hundreds of photos and I'm very happy with it.

So far the best option is the fujitsu scansnap. Waiting for the price to come down a hair before I bite the bullet.
