What's a good affordable Photo Scanner?

[Strayan_Hades]

Hi,

 

I've currently looking at making my family photos and negatives digital and on the cloud. 

 

Unfortunately my basic all in 1 printer doesnt seem to produce a good quality scan of photos. 

 

So I'm looking for a affordable photo scanner around a budget of $200 AUD with a decent DPI and the ability to scan negatives. 

 

Any help or buying guide would be great.

 

Cheers.

its a Brother MFC J6730DW works great on Documents / architectural drawings. But sadly not so well on Photos.

I have a Canon TS6320 and it works well for photos.

Maybe you can afford the 9120 which is even better?

I use this on my DSLR for 35 B&W Neg and Transparency, works awesome for that. Just invert the curve on the B&W and lettrrip. On the transparency stuff, you'll never recreate the color out of them, so don't expect awesome results.

For color neg, even with good plug-ins like negativelabpro, results will be iffy. If you have alot of color neg, I would highly suggest sending them to a quality lab, like Richard Photo Lab (Los Angeles).

 

For a flatbed, a V600 is totally fine for DIY results that are "good enough" for strictly archiving reasons, otherwise if you're looking for GOOD results, again with the lab...
