HP Scanjet G3010 L1985AB1H Up to 4800 dpi 48bit USB 2.0 Interface Flatbed Scanner

Pros: Takes great quality scans. The top has hinges so that you can scan 3D objects. The ability to scan film negatives is something I have wanted for a long time. Easy to use buttons for one touch scans on the flat bed, transperancy device and to pdf. Fills all my needs and at a great price.

Cons: Sometimes seems a bit slow, but that can be on how you have the options for the particular scan. The HP software is kind of annoying at times and unfortunately necessary. Just hope the base drivers I read about on the HP website for Vista work and work good.

Overall Review: The first one I recieved from Newegg had problems and was pretty much DOA the coupler arm would just stick and make a horrible clicking sound then an error would pop up on the screen. When It would scan everything was yellow. Thankfully I took a chance with a replacement and it is working perfectly and I have already transfered a lot of film negatives and pictures to digital format to share with friends and family.

Pros: Excellent scanner for the price. We bought another name brand and it was nowhere near the scan quality this one had. It's quick and the software is easy to use.

Cons: There are only two cons I have for this unit. The first is that it's a little loud but tolerable. The other is that if you don't intend to use the slide receptacle, tape a sheet of paper over it. The receptacle sometimes get "ghosted" onto your scan.

Overall Review: Make sure you get all the updates to this scanner from HP's website. Specifically, get the update for fixing an incompatibility issue with Internet Explorer 7. The scanner works but the software won't unless you install the patch.

Pros: Decent quality for the low end of the line. For basic non heavy duty use.

Cons: Noisy and slow.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for. I went right for the software download as it's most likely more current then what comes with the unit.

Pros: Easy to use, great resolution, good software suite, VISTA Compatible without a hitch

Cons: didn't get this scanner earlier

Pros: Great Cheap Love the fact that you can scan negatives. You can Scan you pics right into PHOTOSHOP.

Cons: Software was garbage.

Pros: Nice scanner when it works Bad software Slow & locks up my system

Cons: Nothing but soft ware problems & Manufacture could not figure it out after three sessions with them.

Overall Review: Try another brand

Pros: It scans...

Cons: The scanner is noisier than most scanners out there. It takes about 15-20 seconds to perform a scan. The resolution came out very poorly, almost a grainy effect to the scans. The software that comes with it doesn't really do a good job manipulating the document

Overall Review: I ended up getting an open box item, so I am not sure if the scanner was in perfect working condition. What I did notice was that it reminded me of an old parallel port scanner. The quality of the scan was below average. Definitely not what I expected of a newer scanner.

Pros: Good scanner, easy setup, love the easy buttons.

Cons: Bad software. Download and install just the drivers from web site and it works without any problems.
