It scans very well as long as you don't mind feeding the pictures in one at a time

The default setting is set to save everything as a pdf file. After looking into it, I found out that you and change the setting to save as a picture file (.jpg). I changed it to save as a .jpg file, and just finished scanning over 1,700 photos with ease. It will scan the pictures about as fast as you can load it too! Note: It has a 100 picture limit so you need to save them in your computer when you get close to 100, then you can start over.

I would honestly say it's more of a document scanner but then I would also have to suggest you contact the Fujitsu people and ask what they have is best for images. I wouldn't by from any other they are the best. Hope this helps.

I've scanned a few photos and it did ok but I wouldn't buy it just for photos, I would buy a scanner that is made for photos. I purchased and use this for documents. I think you will get better quality with an actual photo scanner.

I mainly use this for scanning and I love it. I use the scanning software provided mainly for pdf files. It scans large 50 page documents and I love the fact it scans 2-sided documents with ease.

it depends on the resolution you want to scan - if you chose 1 before the best, it would scan about 4 photos per minute. they don't have to be the same size; the tray only takes about 10 photos / pages at a time though - otherwise the fujitsu S1500 may be a better choice (double the price...)

I guess you culd use it in a pinch for a quick pic of something. it wouldn't be scan quallity. I would suggest an inexpensive printer/scanner like te Epson 300 you culd hook to your laptop. if you're travelling light then this might not be workable. Maybe one of thse hand held scanner would work for you? I can't recommend this webcam for scanning purposes.

no.... it isn't made for that. It only scans slides, negatives and film strip. But it works really well for that.

Yes, it is easy to use. If you scan in color it takes a very long time. black and white is fast

Probably, but I would not recommend. This model is very demanding about paper and source settings, and multiple users would trip constantly over that problem. In addition., you could probably not scan to software effectively.

I have not used it but the scanning is moderate at best. neat would prob be better

I have found the scanner to be every bit as good as a HP5P that I have previousy used for color family photographs. It has high resolution which allows enlargement of smaller photographs with high quality resulis. It is so handy to use, I never use the HP any more. I might add that the scanning software included is excellent. Wendell Hanson

This device will scan anything that will fit through the scan slot. I've used it a lot for scanning 8.5x11 inch pages for archiving articles that I want to keep but not have piles of paper laying around.

Yes! I have been happy with this scanner. Has a reasonable price tag. Good luck!

Nonsense. I use Photoshop to scan using the MP800, and it is far superior to the MP Navigator program.You can buy a Photoshop Elements (i.e not a pirated version) for about £10 ($15).Allen.

Yes, it does have a scanning feature. I have not used it, but you can scan photos and documents. All you have to do is follow the directions and set the parameters you want.

Yes. We scanned a number of photo's for my father-in-law's memorial, both old and new and it did a great job. Very fast and efficient in handing the scan and the file save.

Scans come out just fine for our purposes. Then again, this was not bought strictly for its scanning abilities. Ours is used in a small business office setting. Hope that helps.

Actually it can. If you have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate, you can use Windows XP mode and scan away. I'm doing it right now! I've had mine for years, never had to call for support, so I can't vouch for that, but I've scanned hundreds of photos and I'm very happy with it.

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.
