Pandigital PANSCN01 PhotoLink Mini Scanner -Black

This is a pretty neat little gadget. Pretty much just follow the directions, then plug the power in. To scan, you just put the photo in, it takes it away. Converts it right to Jpg on the memory card. And, if you dont have a memory card reader you can plug it into the computer and download it directly. Only downside is a technical limitation - you cant scan and pull pictures off the card at the same time (probably a memory card limitation). Otherwise its a pretty neat gadget.

Price was right and quality was sufficient for my scanning needs. I was very pleased with the quality of the equipment.

I bought this scanner to scan documents into my computer. It works great. Does exactlly what it implies. Scans. It does a great job on pictures as well.The price was awesome.

I just received this item today and just love it. It is lightning fast and absolutely tiny. It saves your pics immediately to a memory card or directly to your hard drive or digital photo frame (I have only tried the memory card method). I like that it works stand alone and you dont need hardward to use it, I couldnt find another photo scanner that worked this way. The downsides: (1) It only scans up to 1800 X 1200 (300 dpi) so clarity is not necessarily the best. Depending on your needs, this could be a bigger deal for you than for me- I was just looking for something to digitize old photos with to put on the computer rather than print them out. (2) It cant scan a picture bigger than 4 X 6, so giant photos would need another method. For me, what it lacks in quality and features, it more than makes up for with convenience and portability. Great item!

After I figured out how it worked it became the best buy for my photo job ever and inexpensive.

This thing is a complete ripoff! The scan quality is extremely poor (think mid-90s technology), even without the frequent white lines that appear on the images. Not only that, but they neglect to inform you that you need to put EVERY picture in a flimsy plastic shield for each scan in order to get high quality results - this negates much of the advertised ease of use and speed of being able to feed one picture in after the next. Not only that, you cant scan directly to the computer! You HAVE to use the memory card provided, which is TINY (556mb)! Should you want to scan more than a few pictures you would have to buy a much larger capacity memory card. What a rip off. Dont waste your money on this scam.

I have scanned about 200 pics so far. Yes, I can see fine lines in some of the photos, but I do not worry about it. I have many hundreds of pics to scan and just want to capture the image and not keep piles of photo albums. I am VERY happy with this product. I could not find another one that was so affordable, fast and stand-alone. I am very satisfied and am giving empty photo albums to the Salvation Army.

These work great until you get a smudge... then youll have to throw it away. You get them cheap online because they were discontinued as high defective rate I suppose.

Pros: compact, inexpensive, fairly easy to use Cons: Scan quality is terrible. It worked well for the first batch I scanned, but now the dreaded white lines have appeared and will not go away, no matter how many times I clean and recalibrate this sucker.

I just received the scanner and scanned about 40 pictures. The scanner was easy to use. However, I had the lines in all the pictures and the scanned image was darker than the original. The originals did not have lines before being scanned, after running it through the scanner, I could see light lines on the original. I would not purchase this scanner. I am currently in the process of returning it.
