    I think you have to be a bit more specific as to what sort of Scanner you want and most importantly what type of scanning are you intending to do.

    Virtually any flat bed scanner will do the job - I have a Canon, several years old now and would have no hesitation in reccomending that make. The other make to consider is Epson - I have no direct or indirect experience of any other makes.

    If you have no requirement to scan photographic negatives or slides then you do not require a scanner with a backlight facility which adds to the cost.

    For flatbed scanner reviews see ....

    like Pete I use a Canon Photo and Negative Scanner and likewise would not hesitate to recommend Canon.
    Also Epson and Mustek are good Scanners.
    (Pete I think Canon should pay us commissions what do you think):D:D

    Over here the Canon LIDE 25 was discontinued some years ago - I would look at the Canon Lide 100 .....
    This is superior to the HP Scanjet G2410 .....
