Top 10 scanners

It is difficult to name the device for 9000 rubles budget. But the dollar makes it do it — finding cheaper scanners is becoming increasingly difficult. But for the money you get a scanner with a CCD sensor that has a very high resolution (4800 x 9600 dpi). If you use it to digitize a passport or banknote, you will immediately see even the smallest means of protection. And on the scanned coin will be clearly visible emblem of the bank, in which it was minted, not to mention the smallest cracks and scratches. The backlight here is made by LED technology, which greatly reduces power consumption. Although the connection to the outlet with the Epson Perfection V37 scanner is still required, there is little USB interface. But the device will appreciate the high speed of the carriage. It decreases only with a strong increase in resolution.

If you are still storing negatives, films, and slides, then you should consider purchasing the Canon CanoScan 9000F Mark II. This scanner will help to translate all these materials into digital form, after which you can safely throw them away. However, it should be noted that this is not a professional, but an amateur device. Therefore, the quality of scanned film will be far from ideal - there may be light in the center or along the edges of the frame. But usually such problems are observed only with slides.As for paper documents, they are digitized perfectly. The maximum scan resolution is 4800 x 4800 dpi. A CCD sensor, familiar to us from budget cameras, is involved in the process. As for the design of the device, the most pleased with the power supply - the creators have guessed not to take it out, it is located somewhere inside the device.

This is not a professional yet, but close to such a definition apparatus. He even looks very menacing. Large sizes and 6.6 kg weight are waiting for the buyer. The device uses a CCD sensor and a lens, with which the scanning process occurs at a resolution of 6400 x 9600 dpi. However, such a lens is used only when digitizing slides or films! If the process of scanning paper materials begins, the device instantly switches to a smaller, but much lighter lens. This allows you to significantly speed up the work. Only the cost of this monster is capable of confusing the buyer - for such money you can buy three not the worst scanners, which we described in the previous category.

This long-distance scanner is significantly different from cheaper analogues. Firstly, it has rather large dimensions, which is why it is much more difficult to move it from place to place.Secondly, it includes a sensor that scans with a very good resolution of 600 x 1200 dpi. Until the performance of tablet models is still far, but better than the previous developments of the Japanese-German alliance. Third, the device unexpectedly received a Wi-Fi module, through which digitized documents are sent to a computer wirelessly. Fourth, this model is able to connect to USB 3.0, which allows you to forget about any delays. If you sum up briefly, then this is an excellent office device that allows you to scan at a speed of about 25 ppm. It is a pity that the cost of the device is comparable to much better photo scanners.

Photo labs rarely use tablet scanners we are used to. Usually, besides them, they also use slide scanners. Such as Plustek OpticFilm 8200i SE. This device has a narrow specialization, but it perfectly copes with the tasks assigned to it. It is designed for scanning films and slides. For this, a high-quality CCD sensor is used, which provides scanning at a resolution of 7200 dpi. One slide (its size should not exceed 37 x 25 mm) is digitized in 113 seconds. If, however, reduce the resolution by half, the scanning time is reduced to 36 seconds.
