I am really going to have fun evaluating all of these fantastic suggestions!<br /><br />I found another one this morning on Sally Jacobs website The Practical Archivist.

I'm wondering how it will handle some of the older documents as far as feeding them through. It sure would be wonderful to run the masses of older papers through it and be done. I just don't want to damage anything.<br /><br />Marian - Thanks I'll look at that. I love Canon cameras but had never even thought about looking at their scanners.Michelle Goodrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427355155193196767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083165316546520942.post-47666370541245671812010-03-12T15:23:24.719-07:002010-03-12T15:23:24.719-07:00My favorite scanner is a Canon CanoScan 8400F, a f...My favorite scanner is a Canon CanoScan 8400F, a flatbed that does everything you require and does it well! I've had great luck scanning slides (it does 4 at a time). The software bundled with the scanner is excellent, too. My husband recently scanned b/w photos from the 1950s with very good results. Highly recommended.Marian B.

It allows you to scan documents in either pdf or jpg format (I ususally do it both ways) and will accept legal size documents. However, it does not scan photographs very well - it wasn't made to to do that. But I also have a small portable flatbed scanner that I use to scan photos. I gave up scanning slides and sent them to Walmart. Quick and acceptable but not of high quality, it gave me what I was looking for - a way to see the images again. Good luck!Becky Wisemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074730861618500334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083165316546520942.post-4329862902563499592010-03-10T13:04:57.282-07:002010-03-10T13:04:57.282-07:00Thanks Melissa and Apple.

I am a professional genealogist and my Clients are always commenting on how clear the documents are when I send them. Hope this helps.<br /><br />Melissa BarkerMelissa Barkernoreply@blogger.com
