Nice portable scanner
A bit frustrating to get the hang of this.You have to go just the right speed...but not too slow to capture the image.My Mac Air also had trouble reading the images initially,but eventually it did.Once you get the hang of it,it's worth it.The resolution is great.The micro storage doesn't come with this.The one I bought cost $16(16g).Definately wasn't necessary for me to get this large of a chip.I bought this to scan old pictures from very old photo albums.It's doing a great job.It was worth it.
Portable and easy to use... smaller and the price is less than the mainstream devised too. I got to be honest I have yet to try the mainstream product and with that said I would not speak ill of it. What I will say about this product is that it is very easy to use and I am quite happy to have made this purchase, I have a 32GB's memory card in it and I can scan a decent amount of documents and transfer them to a storage device at a later time.
If you never had a scanner before ... practice a bit with this then.
Maybe it's me, but the instructions weren't totally clear.
Appreciated the option of JPG or PDF & Low to High resolution.
Scanner quite stable and easy to move accross the dpocument.
Set-up bit confusing; manuel & inserts not clear steps 1-2-3
