Epson FastFoto FF-680W Wireless High-speed Photo and Document Scanning System

Love the ability to save family photos to digital! 3 and 4 generations of both my and my husband's sides of the family to do. This machine has cut the price and the time! the document feeder is just as handy.

I have been scanning many old family pictures for a few years now. Started with a Canon LiDE 220 flatbed and that worked well until I was faced with a mountain of pictures still to do. Scanning on a flatbed can be quite tedious and I tired of the labour. I did some research and decided on the Epson FF-680W, mostly because of all the promises and that it is wireless. Ordered it through Amazon and it was here in days. Because I wanted to preserve all these old family pictures, many precious, dating back to the early 1900's, I was prepared to pay for the best scanner the market had. This is the One folks. It has only been 6 weeks and I have knocked off scanning as many pictures in that time as I did with the flatbed in a couple of years. Mostly because of the long, tedious time with the flatbed when you lose interest and months go by. Now, this is not to say the FF-680W is perfect. I still use the flatbed for scanning some hard card photos, newspaper clippings and some quirky items that the roll through Epson cannot handle. But, the Epson has never damaged anything to date. In fact, it seems it can't, no matter how delicate the original is. All in all I have come away from this with a great appreciation for the Epson FF-680W scanner. I just received in the mail today a custom made dustcover my Mum made at my request. Thanks Mum and thanks Epson. Keep up the good work.
