First of all, this thing is fast. Much faster than any flatbed scanner I’ve used, even with a sheet feeder. The scanning is quick and the USB interface is fast enough to get the data to the PC and the drive quick enough to be ready for the next photo. This will scan photos as fast as you can feed them. For me, this was important, as I have dozens of shoeboxes from 2 generations of photographs to get through. There’s no compromise on quality, either. There was a bit of adjustment for different photo types (e.g. sepia, color, b&w), but once adjusted for a particular type, it was full speed ahead. There’s a sleeve for fragile photos that worked a charm in getting them scanned without artefacts. It can scan BOTH sides of the photo in one pass, so it works to pick up the notes on names, dates, events that go along with each photo, without mix-ups. I’d recommend this to any family archivist or anyone with an intimidating pile of photos to scan. This is a review for the Epson FastFoto that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.
