Hello, guys. I'm a fresh here and need your help. I'm going to buy a document scanner for the 1st time in my life. Previously, I didn't need it at all, but now with a new job I use it often, even at home.  After looking dozens of reviews, I have 3 models. 
1) Canon imageFORMULA P-208II Scan-tini Personal Document Scanner.  Is this battery-operated? 


2) Canon imageFormula DR-C225 Document Scanner. Does it work with Google Chrome or Google cloud print? How does this compare with the Fujitsu ix500? Anyone own both? 

 

3) Canon CanoScan LiDE220 Photo and Document Scanner. What is the differences between lide120 and lide220? How good is the included software? Do you need a third party software for picture editing?

Thanks in advance! Any suggestions will be pretty appreciated!

Alternatively, have you tried the "office lens" app on your phone.

Not sure what kind of quality levels you need, but when I found "office lens" I threw my scanner away, lol.

Hope this helps :)

An all- in-one printer should do you fine instead of (in theory), purchasing a document scanner alongside a normal printer... To sort of answer your question, the product information is 'over-hyped', it's just marketing..

Main questions are how much are you scanning (as in at once)? How much of that includes pictures? How big size are things you will be scanning? If its few A4 everyday, I'd go for cheapest with 600dpi from HP, Canon or Epson. If you are scanning like 10-50 sheet piles everyday or every other day, you might look into something with tray loading. If its larger than A4, well, you need either bigger scanner or office grade AIO.
