How does this compare to the BCT 15x? Is it just the fact that this is portable. For driving, is a mobile scanner better? More/Less features?

The features of both scanners are identical. If you have the room for the bct15x in your vehicle I would go with that. It is easier to use while driving and has a louder volume. If you decide to go with the portable I would buy the bc346xt and not the bc346xtc. The "c" means it is California compliant, meaning it does not come with batteries and can not charge batteries within the radio.

1) Much much faster than the smaller one. 2) You can send the scans to the Cloud without even a computer. I love it!

My mgr elected not to use the scanner so I can't answer your question. Sorry. Other than that, it's been a very reliable and fairly easy to use machine so far. Regards, Ric

I use it for geocaching, and really like it. It interfaces with the geocaching.com site well. It has a lot of customizations that make it better than a cell phone. Make sure that you down load the manual. I would recommend the GPS highly. That being said, the only difference between the 710 and the 610 is the city maps. If you won't use it to drive (I don't, so I can't advise you on this) there is no reason to buy this model if the 610 is cheaper.

I've scanned several hundred photos with the S300M and find them fine for viewing on the computer. You can put 10 photos in the Auto Doc Feeder and they go through without a hitch. Not as high quality scans as you would get with a flatbed scanner but the images look fine.

No - if you haven't bought it don't! I bought one several years ago - it worked for about a month. It was glitchy and cumbersome to use. Brother, who makesthe scanner had little/no support.

Oddly enough, I ended up going with neither of these. I compared these to the Sony CX130. Picked them up in the stores and found the image of the Sony to be more brilliant. The Sony form factor was smaller as well which will be good for traveling. Best part is that it's only $350. It uses SD cards (no internal memory), but that didn't bother me since SD cards are so cheap now.

Hi Kirk, I have this 60CX, the version without the electronic compass (which can be a battery drain). The past two years, I've used it primarily in the car. I am pleased with it's performance in the car (and some on a motorcycle) and it gets me to unfamiliar places accurately here in the Houston area. The unit is surprisingly faster in satelite acquistion and route calculation than others that I have used. It won't talk to you. It beeps and flashes information on upcoming turns. That being said, I had to purchase the city navigator software from Garmin and 2 gb micro sd to do the detailed maps that the pre-loaded map that comes with the unit just won't do. The most recent city navigator retails for around $140. 2 gb cards are inexpensive. I've not had to use it for hiking or sailing. From what I've read, others have found it great for those applications. I have used it to go running and my experience is that you must hold it steady to calculate your pace accurately. This thing is extremely portable. It can fit in your pocket in a pinch. I believe this and the 76 series are the best all around gps-s. Good Luck!

On the box it said BCT 15x,on the scanner it says BCt 15x. I would say that it was a BCT 15x scanner.

I estimate 90 - 120 seconds to scan a 4 x 6 @ 600 dpi. Compare to ~25 seconds with my flatbed. Definitely not faster than a flatbed. But much easier to carry around.

I'd say yes. Keep in mind the quality of the copy won't be as good as with a regular scanner, but it's very decent. I carry my scanner in my murse (male purse) and scan all mail and important documents. I use it sometimes to scan book pages as well and the copies are pretty good.

I needed the capability to copy scan and fax easily. The 2270 is nice but didn't offer several features I considered important. For the $$ it is a great buy. I'd highly recommend.

YES!! That is why I purchased. It scans much faster that the regular flat scanner. Pictures, documents, legal size papers

I do not think it was made to be portable. It is fairly large to carry arround. It is larger than my 17 inch lap top. You could do it, but there must be smaller portable scanners available. Also, I don't know how well it interfaces with the MacBook Pro.

Go with the 7160. It is a newer model of the 6130z and is a bit less in price. These Fujitsu scanners seem difficult to wear out. I have never had any problems with them.

It scans anything of paper thickness that is not wider than the scanner. Once scanned in you can save to any program in your computer to manage documents or photos. The feed works well, so no skewing or blurring that is likely with the "wand" types. I have scanned some of everything - photos, artwork, receipts, ID cards and etc. No problems. This is great. Has little protective case. Just plug into USB port and start scanning. I have had no problems at all with this scanner. And very portable. Fits into my soft laptop case. Highly recommend this little scanner.
