Where to go for reviews of flatbed scanners? It used to be that I'd pick up PCMagazine or something like that, but I'm looking for something more photo- rather than business-oriented. Do you have any trusted resources, online or off?

Some good resources for photography reviews are Photography Review, Luminous Landscape, and photo.net.

I use an Epson 4870 and am fairly happy with it.

Steve's Digicams is a good site for any digital photo-related stuff. I would also recommend Digital Photography Review but on checking back, I notice they don't have scanner reviews.

My former roommate had a scanner from the Epson Perfection series, which is what I would have bought myself from reading good reviews. I did a number of negative scans on it using the film strip holders and was happy with it.

I was considering getting a flatbed for scanning old negs and slides, but I've just ordered a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual IV. Film only, but it's had great reviews. About $300.

Oh, and I usually check CNET.
