No annoying AC power brick to get in your way as it gets power from USB connection. Small enough to slip into a notebook bag for traveling. Uses small LED light bar instead of traditional fluorescent bulb to perform scan allowing for smaller footprint. A nice touch is the included stand so you can mount it upright on a desk. However, in order to scan this way, the document must be flat else it will fall off the platen before you can close the lid. Very pleased with scan speed due in part to its high speed USB 2.0 connection. For 200 dpi B/W docs, speed is not much different from my old scanner. The speed of this scanner really shines for color dpi settings of 600 and above. I can scan a 1200 dpi photo in less than a minute. My old scanner took several minutes to perform the same feat. An important consideration for any scanner is its scan driver. An excellent scanner with a crappy driver will yield disappointing results. The LiDE 60 has an excellent driver with modes for beginners and experts. I had 20+ year old photos that were faded and by setting the fade correction in the driver software, I got scans which looked better with more accurate color than the original photos. It can also scan multiple photos in one pass and the driver will automatically crop and save each photo as a separate file. A great time saver if you're scanning lots of photos. This scanner does not have a transparency adapter, so if you want to scan 35mm photo negatives or slides you'll need a different scanner. Some may be turned off that it's "only" 1200 dpi, whereas some scanners on the market in this price range are 2400 dpi or higher. Unless you plan to scan 4x6 photos and make lots of 11x17 blowups, 1200 dpi is more than enough if all you plan to do is scan photos to save on your computer. I use 600 dpi for scanning photos. I've done comparisons of a photo scanned at 600 and 1200 and barely notice a difference even at high magnification. Plus the jpeg file size of a 1200 dpi scan is about 3 times larger than that of a 600 dpi scan. The only annoyance is the high pitched noise it makes as the light bar moves across the platen, particularly at 300 dpi or less. It's much quieter using resolutions higher than 300 dpi because the light bar moves more slowly. This is a minor nitpick as you get used to it after a few scans. I really like this scanner and highly recommend it. You get a lot of value for the price. 73 of 76 people found the following review helpful. Get this scanner By Will This scanner works great and makes great scans! Using the easy software, with one click, you can scan mulitple images and save them to a specified folder. One click! This scanner is very small and lightweight and runs off the USB port, NO POWER CORD! I've scanned over 200 photos and they all turned out great! You can easily scan 2 4x6 photos, 3 if you space them out just right. Scans documents well and with the push of the copy button on the front you can make a color or black and white copy of a cd, fax, etc- the scanner sent the print job to the printer automatically! This scanner is a great value and is worth every penny! I got this for $63.99 (in Sept. 2005) but the price has since been raised. Tech support on this scanner is great, but you probaly won't need it- this scanner is incredibly easy to use and setup! No complaints here! 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful. One of those great products that just works. By Mr. C I won't repeat the points in all the other good reviews. They're spot on. My favorite features of this scanner: 1) Very slim, stores away easily. 2) Draws power from the USB port on my PC. No adapter to deal with. 3) The multipage PDF option. Perfect for scanning all my tax docs before they go off to the accountant. I just scan and scan, and it makes a
