I'm glancing through the SANE documentation and browsing webpages to
compare some prices etc of scanners. I'd like to buy a scanner that's
affordable and gives 'decent' quality pictures. With 'decent' I mean it
does not have to be state of the art, I just want to scan few photos to
put on the web, so very high resolution is only going to be lost anyways
since I won't put 20Gb pictures on the web. The second condition is that
I want to be able to run it completely on Linux. I want as little as
possible rubbish MS programs along with it since it only costs me extra
money. Third condition is that I'd prefer a SCSI scanner that comes
without it's own crappy SCSI controller (I have a BT952 with which I'm
fairly happy right now).
From the SANE documentation, Microtek looks like a good choice (am I
right?) but after browsing around on the web I find that apparently
Microtek really wants to sell their scanners along with photoshop (which
I don't want :).
Would anybody care to elaborate about what's a good scanner that meets
above criteria? Please do it in private email, I realise that this
mailinglist is a 'devel' list, but want to check my findings with people
who already have a scanner under Linux.
Thanks,
Fred Leeflang
