Epson's
new Perfection V500 Photo Scanner, which is selling for between
$525 and $650, GST included, is exclusively a scanning device and
is pretty cheap considering that its 6400 dpi resolution is on par
with outrageously expensive drum scanners of a few years ago. Not
bad for a plastic flatbed scanner that sits on your desk and does
both reflection and transmission scans.
That means that you can at last tidy up those old slides and negatives
you accumulated in the days before digital and those family albums
you've inherited too.
