Epson Perfection 2480 Limited Edition Photo Flatbed Scanner with Feeder (B11B172171) Review

I have many photos and would like to scan them, but do not want to do one at a time on a flatbed scanner. So a while ago, I learned about (and purchased) the HP 5500c Scanjet Scanner. HP's product was junk, the "auto crop" feature was more like auto slop. The resulting image that HP produced included an area around the photo including a bunch of the scanner's mechanisms visible along with the desired image. totally useless. Reading the amazon customre reviews for the HP 5500c Scanjet Scanner product, I learned that others found the Epson product to be the real deal. I found a seller, purchased the item and it arrived this week. I tried it out and had no trouble. Thank you Epson. Shame on you, HP, for aparently not even trying to get your product right before you push it out the door -- and for not doing anything once the problem was reported again and again by your customers. The epson product is the right choice.

Note - scanning does take some time, maybe 30-45 seconds per photo. So no matter what you do, if you've got 1000's of photos to scan, it is going to require some effort. Once I start on my collection, I will most likely hit the project 24 photos at a time, as time allows, rather than try to bang out hundreds at a time.

Epson, you rock.
