Review: Does what it says - Bit big but to be expected. It does however look very smart and sleek. So simple to use and what fantastic quality. Scans up to 1200 dpi in B?w, colour or sepia. Great with old photos and so fast on 600dpi. Much better quality and easier to use than y canon MG 5750 printer. I suppose that's to be expected from a dedicated scanner. If you are looking for a quality scanner then pay the money and buy something good, you will not be disappointed.
