Pentax DSmobile 600 portable scanner

By Stephen Patrick (pocket-lint.com)

Can this compete against a flatbed?

Compact, quick to use

Limited use

It has limited functions but the scan functions are more than acceptable for scanning on the move

This scanner from Pentax measures 280 x 51 x 38mm and is relatively small and...

Pentax DS Mobile 600

By (tech.co.uk)

Pentax's original DS Mobile was focused entirely on delivering the ability to scan documents and pictures on the move. At about the size of a small umbrella, it was unapologetic about putting convenience ahead of ultimate image quality

Lightweight and small, Quiet in operation, Easy to use

Photo scanning still not great

It can't match a flatbed scanner for ultimate quality, but as a portable solution it will more than meet your needs

Efficient, Accurate, Compact printer

By SteveR (newegg.com)

Seems worth the price compared to competition which is Visioneer or Ambir products.

Just started using this scanner. Takes up very little room

Each page needs to be fed by hand. I bit tricky to get

Slow, but useful portable scanner. Perfect for traveling.

By N/A (newegg.com)

I bought this to be able to scan documents on the go. It is small and portable and does work well for its intended purpose. I would not want to use this as my primary scanner, though, since you sacrifice productivity for increased portability.

Small size, small weight makes this easy to travel with. Compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Built-in calibration function to assure whitest whites and blackest blacks on the scans with grayscale accuracy

Slow scans ; instead of a white backing to the scanning surface, it has a black backing so if something is out of alignment, it creates a noticeable black border

Unworthy

Windows update unable to find drivers, DSMobile installs but still no driver. Newegg accepted return, Hooray, They rock
