Need scanner suggestions

[thecoolnessrune]

My scanner has died and I need a new one. The requirements are very small. I need no more than 1200dpi 24 bit scanning. 8 1/2 x 11 is wanted. 8 1/2 x 14 would be nice to have. Obviously I dont think scanners come this small anymore, I just want to emphasize the fact that I dont need anything that big at all. I would just like something that could hopefully do legal size sheets of paper in color. But normal paper is fine too.

For something simple and inexpensive, there's this.
HP scanner
Otherwise, just Google.

I just bought this one about 2 months ago and it does everything that I need it to. It is well built and doesn't need a power cord. The price has gone down since I bought it.
CanoScan

FYI: This thread belongs in the Peripherals section... Oh, and there is also a Hot Deals where you'll find, guess what, Hot Deals on scanners. And maybe even better deals in the FS/T section...

Anyway, get on over to the Epson Clearance Center. Sale this week (thru the 21st) - 20% off the already reduced prices plus free ground shipping. Linkage.
One of the first two models they have there (3490) is a CR recommended Best Buy Christmas gift in the current issue.

IAC, it's hard to beat an Epson scanner. About the only place you'll get one cheaper is on fleaBay. I got mine there for under $50. shipped several years ago. It was New In Box and not a refurb. They get them for "free after rebate" with a computer system in the Big Box stores, don't have a clue what to do with them (and/or don't want to learn) and blow 'em out on fleabay...
