Advantages: good price, reliable

Disadvantages: average software

Well where I work more and more people ask about scanning their slides into their pc. Problem is the scanner they have has an optional adaptor which costs more than they payed for the scanner !
The solution is this Umax scanner. I have to say Umax have improved quality wise no end over the last year or so and returns rates are incredibly minimal compared to their 610P model of a few years back. PLus you have the added bonus off an adaptor to scan thise slides. All this for around £150-£175 all in. The software isn't the best in the world but for the money you save you could get better software. A little known fact is that Umax make scanners for some other major manufacturers, this is worth bearing in mind as those other major manufactureres are always difficult to get hold of stock wise.
