Plustek Photo Scanner ePhoto Z300, Scans 4x6 inch Photos in 2 Seconds, Auto crop and deskew with CCD Sensor, Supports Mac and PC

I started a project decades ago scanning in old photos with a flatbed scanner, and it took forever. At some point life took over, and I ran out of time to finish the project. The old flatbed scanner was outdated and no longer compatible with my laptop, so I took the plunge and shelled out for this, which is worth EVERY penny. It comes with a CD, but I easily found the software online and downloaded it, and it worked perfectly with my laptop. It is VERY FAST and easy -- automatically detects proper cropping or orientation if you drop the picture in crooked or sideways, and it's easy with a couple clicks to change orientation on the computer before you save the files. The scan quality is perfect, and the file size is small enough that they uploaded to my photo site WAY faster than new digital photos from a camera or phone. I was able to quickly finish my scanning project after all these years and organize the old photos to be given to those pictured one day when I'm gone.

This is so easy to use when you have a bunch of old photos you want digitalized. Very easy to use. Much, much faster than using a flatbed scanner for bulk processing. Scans well. A little bulky, but the box works well for storing and moving .

Love it! It is so easy to use and I've already scanned many pics in a short time. While it is a "pricey" item, it is worth it for preserving pics & docs digitally.

Love this little scanner. Easy to use. Lots of functions to enhance old photos. The colors in the scans are really good. Well worth it if you have thousands of old photos to digitize. We previously spent $400 more than this one for a ScanSnap and It was terrible. Only a few things they could improve upon: a better physical guide so the photos feed straight and a feeder so you don’t have to feed the photos individually. These are really the only reasons for not giving it 5 stars. The quality and functions are 5 stars. It also is NOT a duplex scanner (doesn’t scan both sides if you have captions on the backside). However, once you start adding this feature you are into a more expensive scanner. Highly recommend this scanner. We love it!

Like many others, I have multiple boxes of old photos, and I've started on the project of converting them to digital images. I put a lot of time into researching photo scanners, and the ones I was interested in were pretty pricey. Timewise, this project is out of the question using the flatbed scanner available in my printer. After a lot of research, I decided on this Plustek scanner. I've had it for about 7 or 8 months now, and I love it. You can scan up to 50 photos at a time with no buttons or adjustments - just feed the photos in one at a time. At 300dpi, the process is fast. The images drop into Plustec's software, and you have the ability to do some editing and color adjustment. I've found that this software works well for me, is easy to use, and is all I need. I just want to get all these photos scanned in and organized and I'm not terribly interested in any serious editing at this point. I'm especially happy with the color enhancement that's available for those old color photos from decades past that are fading or turning yellow - it really gives those photos new life, just by clicking on a button or two. I have other photo editing software on my laptop, and I'll worry about serious editing later, if I even decide to go that far. After I've made any quick color adjustments, I just move the photos onto my hard drive, where I can organize them., and save them on an external hard drive. The Plustek scanner does a great job and has a very attractive price tag. The user manual is detailed and very helpful. I've heard good things about the customer service, but I haven't needed to use it. There's also a case available for it here on Amazon, and I keep it in the case on my desk to eliminate dust. The scanner doesn't take up much room on the desk, so I keep it there to work on my scanning project when I have a little extra time. I recommend this scanner for anybody who's looking to tackle a photo archiving project without breaking the bank.

What a great product. When my mom passed away we had totes of pictures and how do you split them up with family? Well you don't You buy one of these scanners and you scan them all. I mean it was super quick, easy to set up Scan perfectly I had no issues at all and I scanned over 2,000 pictures. Copy the pictures to a thumb drive and distributed them to family. To have someone else do this for me would have cost a fortune so the machine will paid for itself.

Very easy to use and you can adjust the picture quality after you scan it. Great to use and be able to scan photos to make a digital photo album.

This photo scanner is simple and very easy to use. The speed at which it scans photos and transfer to your computer is great. All photos scanned maintained the same or very similar quality. While the price may seem slightly high, it is a GREAT value for what you are receiving. After my father passed away we had to go through photos for the slide show, and this made it very easy. I've scanned over 3,000 photos with this scanner so far.
