I have used it to scan some of my old photos. While gathering information about this product, I suddenly came to know about <a href="http://www.scanphotostodigital.com/" title="ScanPhotosToDigital" rel="nofollow">ScanPhotosToDigital</a>. I found that their bigger packages get down to about $0.15 per photo. The Epson Perfection V200 Photo Scanner indeed works great. I have used it to scan some of my old photos.

That model appears on some Epson international sites, though, and some online retailers in the US also list it. Second, your readers should understand that the 3D scanning capability is very limited-- it looks like depth of field is limited to just one inch, so you can't really use this to take pictures of large objects. Third, the term "3D scanning" is generally used to refer to digitizing the contours of an object-- for example, the shape of a human face for use in a 3D-rendering program. Fourth, this scanner is NOT capable of scanning a 14"x21" object. Epson uses that figure to define the size of a photo print from a scan of a film negative... which is to say it's basically a useless figure. The scanner itself has a size limit of 8.5"x11.7", which is very different. . png A few problems here– The Epson site you link to doesn’t have the V200 in its Scanners section yet.
