I just bought a Microtek Scanmaker
i320 (6400X3200 dpi ccd 48 bit color).
My intentions were to buy a cheap scanner for nothing more than to scan a history of both B&W and color photos. I had no intentios of using it professionally, but I'll tell ya, this thing does a pretty nice job, And I paid under $150.00. This unit came with quick fix programs that makes Photoshop unnecessary unless you want to get real technical.
