Med-Poor Qality
Very cheap, so thought it was worth a try. Scanner quickly picked up hot pixels which leave a long stripe across all images. Tried cleaning and calibrating, but they keep coming back. Unit gets very hot very quickly which adds to a lot of noise in the scanned image. Pictures must be fed through with the included plastic sleeves, or quality is very poor. Sleeves slow down the process a lot and quickly pick up their own dust and wrinkles which further reduce quality. The unit has some pluses in design - scanning to SD card or USB are nice options. It's small and very portable. I wasn't expecting miracles for the price, but image quality is marginal at best.

This is a great scanner for getting those stacks of prints digitized.

Scan that shoebox of photos...
I sit on the floor with a box of photos on one side, the scanner on the other. When the box is scanned, I pop the SD card (a 2Gb card holds about 2,000 pix) into the computer, rename the scans, and put them in their own folder.
Erase the card.
Repeat. Ad infinitum.
Do use the protective sleeves provided. It keeps the dirt and "stickum" from photo albums out of the mechanism.
I've only had a couple of mis-scans in 2500 photos, issues with the software mistaking the edge of the photo.
In all, excellent value for the money.
Take it on the road visiting grandparents, get those old pix into the digital age. You don't even need the computer with you, just a stack of 1GB SD cards.
