When I think of Photo Scanner, all that I can think of are those bulky flatbed scanners from Canon and Epson. I always thought of the possibility that we might see some compact scanners in the size of rods using rollover technique, or at least not that big like a flatbed. But it looks like the wait is over, all thanks to Pandigital.
Typical scanning of a photo entails something along the lines of placing the photo onto a device, loading some photo software, waiting while the scanner groans away, cropping the resulting image, and then shuffling the resulting bits off into a folder somewhere. That’s classic. But Pandigital plans to alter that, by few inches at least.
Their latest Personal Photo Scanner/Converter can be fed with documents or photos up to 8.5 x 11 in size, and is able to load em all straight into your memory card with the integrated card reader (SD, Memory Stick, etc.) at 600dpi resolution quality. Your work could significantly increase and your workflows smoothen. You can even dump that dusty bulky scanner at home if you need to travel a lot. The output is not only the card reader though; you can still connect the Personal Photo Scanner through a miniUSB and have the photos saved into your computer. The only downside is an integration of a battery. With it, this new age scanner will surely be the best buy for portable scanner. But then, for a price of $149.99, it’s hard to ask for so much.
