Plustek Photo Scanner ePhoto Z300, Scans 4x6 inch Photos in 2 Seconds, Auto crop and deskew with CCD Sensor, Supports Mac and PC

I started a project decades ago scanning in old photos with a flatbed scanner, and it took forever. At some point life took over, and I ran out of time to finish the project. The old flatbed scanner was outdated and no longer compatible with my laptop, so I took the plunge and shelled out for this, which is worth EVERY penny. It comes with a CD, but I easily found the software online and downloaded it, and it worked perfectly with my laptop. It is VERY FAST and easy -- automatically detects proper cropping or orientation if you drop the picture in crooked or sideways, and it's easy with a couple clicks to change orientation on the computer before you save the files. The scan quality is perfect, and the file size is small enough that they uploaded to my photo site WAY faster than new digital photos from a camera or phone. I was able to quickly finish my scanning project after all these years and organize the old photos to be given to those pictured one day when I'm gone.

This photo scanner is simple and very easy to use. The speed at which it scans photos and transfer to your computer is great. All photos scanned maintained the same or very similar quality. While the price may seem slightly high, it is a GREAT value for what you are receiving. After my father passed away we had to go through photos for the slide show, and this made it very easy. I've scanned over 3,000 photos with this scanner so far.

Very easy to use and you can adjust the picture quality after you scan it. Great to use and be able to scan photos to make a digital photo album.

Love this little scanner. Easy to use. Lots of functions to enhance old photos. The colors in the scans are really good. Well worth it if you have thousands of old photos to digitize. We previously spent $400 more than this one for a ScanSnap and It was terrible. Only a few things they could improve upon: a better physical guide so the photos feed straight and a feeder so you don’t have to feed the photos individually. These are really the only reasons for not giving it 5 stars. The quality and functions are 5 stars. It also is NOT a duplex scanner (doesn’t scan both sides if you have captions on the backside). However, once you start adding this feature you are into a more expensive scanner. Highly recommend this scanner. We love it!

I have a couple thousand photos to digitize and had "briefly" thought about using my flatbed scanner. I figured I'd be long gone before getting close to finishing this chore. One night I was thinking about this project at 3am and since I couldn't sleep I pulled out my phone and searched Amazon for photo input devices. Put this one in the wish list for the next day. After researching different models I finalized on this one and I am sure glad I did. It arrived next day and I immediately began using it. It is simply so very easy to use. So far I have processed 770 photos, each of which I use the included software to enhance the photos. Scanning the photos is extremely fast. The images are clean and as sharp as the photo. The included software blew me away as it does a very good job at fixing photo problems. Many old black and white photos from the 50s were faded and weirdly colored. The software Restore function made these look great. All in all I highly recommend this scanner. There is no way to digitize so many photos without a machine that is designed to do the job. This one fits the bill in every respect. It is priced at the lower end, which I like. I don't know what else could be added to warrant a higher cost. Revision next day..... Can I add an additional 5 stars to this review? I have scanned almost 1200 photos so far and am having a blast doing so. Unit just keeps on chugging along with no problems and the results never cease to amaze me. The old photos are coming alive. Sure is bring back memories!

I would give this 10+ if I could. I took a chance and purchased this scanner because my old one stopped working. I paid twice as much for my old scanner than this scanner. I bought this scanner in November but did not open it until February. Living not too far from the recent fires in Southern California and knowing the fire victims lost no only their homes but so many precious memories, I decided to stop procrastinating and open the box and get started. Setting up was really easy. I started scanning right away. The speed at which to scan photos was very fast. I actually had to go to YouTube to learn how to save my photos to a flash drive. It was very easy. It took me days to scan over 4,000 photos and I still have more to scan. I had old Polaroid photos that were thick and they glided through with no problem. My old scanner could not handle the thickness of the photos. It even scanned newspaper articles, small wallet sizes, 10x13, and torn photos. I will enhance all the photos that have faded later.

This scanner is great and very quick. The software has all different types of adjustment to make to your photos. Easy to hook up and use. Just have to download the software.

This scanner is an absolute gem for anyone looking to digitize their photo collection. I have been taking apart my bulky scrapbooks and it has handled every photo flawlessly. Even older, cropped or slightly imperfect prints came out beautifully in digital form, with impressive clarity. It is fast, handling up to 50 photo scans before saving.
