I am looking for a new scanner but have a hard time finding what I want:
I have a lot of documents that I need to scan because I want to get rid of the binders that are in my basement, yet keep the content. So I think that a scanner with a paper tray that allows (batch) scanning the documents in the tray automatically and converts them into nice PDFs would be a great idea. Besides the documents I have also a big slide collection and would like to scan them as well in a quality which is comparable to at least an 8 megapixel digital camera.
Have you guys any suggestions what scanner may work? - Oh, yes, the price. I thought that about $ 500 should be about the limit. Test reports would help too.
- Firewire (if possible; USB may work too)
- tray for slides and negatives
- tray for documents (batch scanning)
- "scan documents to PDF"
- full OS X compatibility, of course
