is it a good scanner for photos

I have used it to scan in some photos and they turned out well. I think it would depend upon the type whether you wanted to run them through or not, such as old family photos, etc.

I work in a law firm and have had to scan photographs. Will it scan? Yes. It is a proper scanner for archiving photographs? No. If you need it for the occasional photo, it will suffice. If you are looking to archive a lot of photographs, go with a flatbed scanner made specifically for photographs. Will is scan business cards? Yes.

Yes. A bit difficult with scanning. I have a Mac and I use IPhoto. Not compatible I guess.

It works great. I use it to scan receipts mainly. I scan checks in color with decent photographic quality, for a 300dpi scanner. I have been using one for a couple of years, and just bought a few more in case i drop it and break it, as i depend on it! I hope this helps.

It sure does. I scanned my grand kids photos and no one I showed them to pro photo. Buy it, it's a terrific scanner.

This machine proved to be an excellent photo scanner. Last year at this time, I used it to scan over 1000 photographs with a weekt to create personalized digital photo frame presentations for my family. The only issue I had was having to resort to a flatbed scanner on my printer to do larger photographs, but it was well worth it. I sat and watched television and scan them one at a time for hours.

You can set the DPI between 150 and 600. It can handle photo's but remember this scanner is all about speed. If your looking to do some photo's that is really high quality I would look at a flat bed scanner.

Yes, this scanner has a devise in which you can place several slides and scan - I have not used it. I use this exclusively for scanning photos and the quality is excellent.

That's what I've used it for. I think it does a great job with them. I've compared them to the photos I got scanned from photo bin and they were about the same but without all the hassle of mailing them off and in the end is much better cost wise. Its hard to get them all to be perfectly straight when fed through if you do it in a hurry but theres a tool in their software that before you save them into your computer, you can crop them a little to make them straight. I'm actually not going to use my remaining groupons for photo bin and use the doxie cause its just as good. One caveat, I'm copying older photos so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Maybe newer ones won't be as sharp, don't know. That's what I've used it for. I think it does a great job with them.

I would use it for that. The machine is super fast, and it's pretty impressive how accurate it is in sizing and framing whatever it is you're scanning. I haven't used it for scanning pictures, but I wouldn't hesitate to start.

I bought the unit but haven't used it as yet. My friends tell me that they can scan almost anything, including old photos that are bent. Should do checks just fine.

Yes. I use it to scan documents and photos for Family History Work. It is especially useful to either color correct old photos or remove flaws from the originals.

Yes it is. I have only used it to scan old photos and have had no problems. I know this machine can do so much more.

Yes. I love this scanner. It is so easy to use. I just connect it to my computer and scan in. You are given the choice of where you want to save what you have scanned.

ive only used it briefly,only for documents and based on that I don't think it would be good for pictures. I do need to try photos

Not really and you don't want photos at 150 dpi. For lots of photos you'll want something like a scan snap. This is primarily a document scanner.
