is it good for photos?

It does works on photos, although the quality will match that of printed pictures from the 80s and 90s. If you have a more modern, high definition printed picture, it's scanned copy will be of lesser quality.

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.

I add photos to them all the time. It works, but not with that crisp photo finish.

No, I used it in my digital camera for stills and videos. However, I would not recommend it. It started taking half photos: the bottom half of one photo became the bottom half of the next. Or the bottom half of the photo was completely dark. I replaced it with a San Disk.

I can't say for sure. We only use it for pictures. I do think it has the capability though.

No it's not but if you want to simple newsletters it's fine. Not good for hi res photos, this is just my opinion.

I use it for taking pictures of rescue dogs. I like it because it gives a smooth background. I don't know how to attach photos here but will be glad to email some to you.

I don't really use it. I did print one photo just to try it. I think it was excellant.

Not at all, the pictures are high quality. My husband uses this for work. I have used it for work to record video and take pictures for our website. I have found in low light situations that it is best to leave the camera on auto, it truly can determine the best shot.

I think so but not sure. I cant imagine any nowadays that aren't. I just needed it for odd and over-sized photos and it serves the purpose very well.

I can not answer that, sorry about that. Use only for photos. I now have 5 of these set up and have had no problems with them. Happy Hunting

Yes. it can shoot unlimited amount of photos. depending on your battery life and memory. :)

Sorry. I've only used it for still photos. Would probably work OK if you didn't have to do panning and thus change focus...unless you are more nimble than I am.

Yes, I think this will be fine for basic still photography and editing. My wife has this unit with over 40,000 photos, and PhotoShop 12 on it, and LIghtRoom as well, and it works fast and smoothly.

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.

Maybe if you use it mainly for photos yes; however, if you use it for video your camera might drain it faster.

Yes you can use it to scan your photos and the resolution is wonderful, colors are exact and very crisp. Great scanner.

Yes.....the large hard drive is adequate for photos. I am still using my p6710 but surprised this model is still available to purchase after two years.
