Scores well on quality and ease of use for scanning both photographic prints and transparencies (slides and strips of film)
Scans only four slides or one six-frame strip of film at a time
The Epson Perfection V300 Photo scanner scans both prints and transparencies (slides and strips of film) surprisingly well, and even comes with an optical character recognition program.
