Good item, but be aware there's a newer model...

Posted by: atlantagreg from West Cobb, (ATL) Georgia on 03/10/2013Solid item that's easy to use for scanning and making digital copies of receipts, articles in publications, or even photos. You can choose between JPG format for saving items (for photos) or PDF format (for documents) and a 300 or 600 dpi detail setting. AA batteries make it convenient to use as you don't have to worry about keeping a rechargeable battery topped off all of the time. Pop in an 8 gig Micro-SD memory card and you can scan tons of stuff and using a SD adapter later, use your computer's memory card slot to view them (or use the included USB cable).
Of note, however: This model which is still being sold by Best Buy is the "old" Vupoint model. They came out with an updated model a while ago that has a tiny color LCD screen on it so you can preview what you just scanned or browse through past scans - this model only has a digital readout that shows you your settings, and how many scans you've taken (but no preview image). Not necessarily a deal breaker, except it's being sold for the same price as the newer model (found elsewhere). I'd suggest to Best Buy to stock the newer model, or lower the regular price of this one.

Posted by: ReverendGal from Custer, SD on 01/28/2013I had a good experience in the ordering, shipping, set-up and use of this product. I recommend purchasing a USB card and case along with it. Little ackward when trying to scan thicker objects til I found a good way....
I recommend this product to anyone who travels !! :)

Posted by: Harriedinpa from mechanicsburg, PA on 07/31/2012I purchased this hand-held product to retain copies of receipts that had to be sent to insurance company. It is very easy to use, great quality, and easy to move files to my computer. It is better to use the PDF than the JPEG scan option to download files quickly. I was not able to quickly figure out how to use OCR software, so I just renamed files as I downloaded them.

Ok if you don't need good scans

Posted by: worksfromhome from Alameda, CA on 07/18/2012I LOVE the idea of this. However, it's hard to scan in a perfectly straight line. I recommend doing it against a wall so you can use the wall as your guide. However, it still often warps. For certain purposes, like when you're only concerned about the content of a document, not the accuracy of a photo, then it's fine. But for photos and for documents that you intend to print later, it can get tricky. When I use it, I always scan the same item at least three times, using a wall as my guide alone the side of the document, and yet it still winds up warped. Scanning thicker items like driver's licenses (for legal purposes) is kind of a headache.

Good portable scanner

Posted by: lasdjflsdj from Derby, Kansas on 04/11/2012We bought this to scan pictures our out-of-town relatives have from way, way back. This one is very portable and easy to use. The color was only fair, but some black and white pictures came out better in the scan than they looked on the picture.
We will use this a lot.
Decent price and very portable. You do need a computer.

Posted by: moejontoya from tustin, ca on 03/08/2012It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use but once I got that out of teh way I was very pleased with the outcome. The scans look very good for such an inexpensive product.
