Need a recommendation for a scanner.

[dababus]

Budget is about $100.

Please recommend me a decent scanner for home use. Parents are asking me to get one.

Any recommendation would be helpful.

Thanks.

Not sure on exact models or anything, but I have always had really good luck with Hewlett Packard scanners for quality. Sorry it's a bit vague, just some guidance from my experience. My Canon one was good for £30 (about $50 at the time), but not as good quality as my more expensive HP.

anyone?

My Epson Perfection 1260 PHOTO works very well and Epson always seems to rank high in comparison tests. I got mine new in sealed box for $45. shipped on ebay. It's a discontinued model with the slide and negative scanning attachments. The Canon scanners also do well in the comparisons.
. Click the link in my sig and you'll see some images from it (the pinout diagrams and the label view of a 3D object!).

If you are considering an Epson, stop by their web store (Clearance Center on the Home Page menu). You can get refurbs at excellent prices w/ free shipping too sometimes.

I too would recommend an Epson Perfection. What do they plan on using it for?
