Hi,<br>
<p>
I'm glancing through the SANE documentation and browsing webpages to<br>
compare some prices etc of scanners. I'd like to buy a scanner that's<br>
affordable and gives 'decent' quality pictures. With 'decent' I mean it<br>
does not have to be state of the art, I just want to scan few photos to<br>
put on the web, so very high resolution is only going to be lost anyways<br>
since I won't put 20Gb pictures on the web. The second condition is that<br>
I want to be able to run it completely on Linux. I want as little as<br>
possible rubbish MS programs along with it since it only costs me extra<br>
money. Third condition is that I'd prefer a SCSI scanner that comes<br>
without it's own crappy SCSI controller (I have a BT952 with which I'm<br>
fairly happy right now).<br>
<p>
From the SANE documentation, Microtek looks like a good choice (am I<br>
right?) but after browsing around on the web I find that apparently<br>
Microtek really wants to sell their scanners along with photoshop (which<br>
I don't want :).<br>
<p>
Would anybody care to elaborate about what's a good scanner that meets<br>
above criteria? Please do it in private email, I realise that this<br>
mailinglist is a 'devel' list, but want to check my findings with people<br>
who already have a scanner under Linux.<br>
<p>
Thanks,<br>
Fred Leeflang<br>
<p>
