Advice On Replacing My Dead Scanner

[chrissa1]

Can anyone give me advice on which Scanner they would buy to simply scan photographs on to my laptop for storage and e mailing. I broke an Epson Perfection V500 but it is covered by insurance.
I want to spend no more than £100.00. Thanks.

I have one of these ... and it's great. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk...s&hash=item2a10c5bcc4
No drivers now for Win7 64bit tho. All others ok I believe.
If I had to buy one now .. I would get a Lide 110

I have a kodak s50 series (i think) 3 in 1, i wouldn't be without it. if you wanted to print the pictures too, i would recommend this. :) ink is fairly cheap too compared to other brands xx

Ink is VERY VERY cheap on my scanner : )

Thanks you two. I don't need a printer as I've got one. I just need a flatbed. Is that what it's called?

I have had a Canon for a few years now. It has been totally reliable. I am not familiar with current models except that some include a slide scanning attachment and with others it has to be bought separately.

Yep
Mine is a slimline flatbed Canon Lide80

(about same size as A4 sheet .. and thinner than a netbook.

That sounds ideal albags and scotman, I'll have a look. Thanks.

Just bought a Canon Lide 110 from Amazon £48.78. Cheers, it looks good.

Well done ... bit of change left over then!

Yepidoodee albags. Even with the excess taken off. My late husband had bought the dead one and it was a higher spec than I need now.
