It is as says and came quickly, I had misread this and thought I could do 8x10's which it can not~ so great for scanning all those business cards and small photos but nothing bigger.

Easy to use and nice with the plastic folder that protects the pictures during scanning. I'm going to use it for bulk scanning of my paper copies, but most pictures have weird artifacts, strange coloring like an ancient GIF picture with dithering. See cropped picture below. There are also noticeable stripes across the scan, and the color reproduction is OK, but some colors are off. At least I haven't seen any geometrical distortion like could have on a roller feed scanner like this. I'll scan any nice picture on my flatbed scanner instead.

This scanner is fantastic. I have scanned over 3500 prints with it so far. It works like a charm. My other scanners would take months to do what this little guy has done in a week. I wish it worked with a battery pack as well, that would make it truly portable. The software with this scanner could be improved as I scan directly to a SD card. When I then use Windows explorer to look at the scans on the card it shows me a different set of scans then the one on the card. This happens all the time and the sequence that it displays is a set that I had scanned previously. But there is no particular set that it will show. It's always a random selection. To see the proper set that is on the card I have to use another viewing program. That is always the case no matter which computer I use, and with both Windows 7 and Windows XP. Also the same problem no matter which memory card I use. When I've called Pandigital direct, they are always accommodating, but it can take as long as an hour on hold to talk to them. I haven't tried to scan directly to the computer as I like the portability feature using the memory card. I don't scan usually more than 100 photos at a time and then transfer to a external hard drive. As I mentioned I've scanned over 3500 photos with absolutely no problems other than the one I spelled out. I've not had to recalibrate or do any maintenance, so far. I've used Slide converters as well and they are much slower and confine you to the use with a computer. And my larger flatbed scanners are agonizingly slow. This unit is a gem. I certainly will give this scanner a bigger test to come with about 5000 more photos to go. Oh yes, I certainly can't complain about the price of the unit.Read full review
I bought this scanner because I have probably about a thousand old photos to scan and using a flatbed scanner would take me forever to do it. This thing scans pretty fast and the scan quality is very good. With 300dpi it's enough for me. The only two things I think could be improved is the A/C power cord is a bit short. And, it only comes with a 512MB SD card. No biggie, I just plug it into an extension cord and use a 2GB micro SD card (with adapter) I took from my old cell phone in place of the 512MB one. The scanner is also nice and small, so it takes up very little space on my desk. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase from an excellent seller "anacondapete."
I purchased the photolink scanner, so I could have digital copies of about 70 irreplacble photos of Members of our Lodge's photo gallery,as a good many our no longer with us. The scanner worked very well as many of the photo had excessive wear, pin holes etc. It easily does just has good a job as my flatbed scanner and was much easier to take with me. The only problem I had was the scanner will not scan Polaroid or Kodak instant photos. It tries to but the edge is thicker than the photo's field so it stops after it gets past the edge. For the price I was very impressed with the quality of the scanned photos's and it even came with an sd card. Would have given it 5 stars had it scanned those polaroids.
