What are your thoughts about different scanning messages? Share your thoughts and images and I will collate a little montage for you all to see the differences 😁

These comparison videos can be very valuable, as a amateur you can only buy one machine, so it better be the right one. You should ask your community to send you samples of their machines so you can put them side by side. I own a Plustek ePhoto Z300 (max 600 dpi), a Epson XP 2100 (max 1200 dpi) and a iPhone 11. I'm 100% down to send sample photos so you can roast them 👍

Brilliant idea! I've been trying to work myself up to shelling out for a proper scanner but this is the first place I've seen side by side results. I keep seeing the V600 but it's an old model and very expensive, so all information helps. (Plus, I'm surprised there aren't any used ones on the market)

@@victoriaryan1509 Yes I am surprised too that there are not that many on the market second hand, maybe people work them to the end of their lives! 😁

Brilliant. Thank you.

I have discovered the Plustek Photo Scanner - ePhoto Z300. (The easiest way to scan photos and documents. Supports 3x5, 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 in sizes photo scanning but also letter and A4 size paper. Optical Resolution two settings, 300dpi or 600dpi. Powerful enhancement functions included. Quickly enhance and restore old and faded images with a click of the mouse). Amazon details not mine. Perfect for the home archivist and it gives me a faster turnaround time for my customers. Thank you for your informative content, your well measured presentations and good personal hygiene.

I own a Plustek also, and is good. But I have some complaints: 600 dpi is too low for a "max", sometimes you want a little more detail specially for small images. Small images not always work, same for thick images (~1940) and things like passports, the limitations were more "limiting" than I thought. But for the price is pretty good

@@Totomenu Thank you for the update there are always pros and cons of all scanners. I always say as long as you understand the limitations of what you are doing then it is better to scan than not scan 😁 Happy Scanning to you all!

Brilliant video Amanda. You could do an hour on this topic (no, not a request) but this was just enough to show some important differences in quality. Thanks

Oh don't get me started, I could do an hour, but I think you might get bored very quickly 😂

Hi Amanda, great information! I stumbled across your channel today and am amazed at all the helpful info you provide. New sub here! However, I have a bunch of slides & negatives that I'd like to scan and digitize and I couldn't find any videos from you on this topic. Did I miss it? I'm currently looking at the Kodak 7" Digital Film Scanner, but I didn't know if there's a better option out there. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how to get those slides digitized! Many thanks!

Hi, I have a video about how to prepare your slides for scanning, kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKtkpKdspbSumtI.html but I will add one to the list to do one about specialist scanning options. Keep an eye out for it!😊

Great video, what software would you use with the scanner, specifically the V600?

Ah a very good question and one that has come up before so I did some testing... check this video out kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoFpr7iAmpPJc7Q.html

hello Lady Amanda, how do I eliminate reflex in my photos? do you have a video tutorial how to scan your photos?

@amandalittlecott

To stop reflections you need to grab some museum glass, you can get it from your local framing store. And a video on how to scan is added to my video to do list... keep an eye 😊

What about the Professional scanners such as fujitsu fi series?

@amandalittlecott

The Fujitsu fi series tends to mostly be for documents, they can do up to 600DPI the resolution you need but I would check that you can actually feed photos into them. Also, some of the higher-end scanners are expensive (very expensive!) 🙂
