Family wants to scan lots of photos but we want to buy a good

HP and get an ADF

adf doesn't work too well with photos. paper is a bit too thick to go around the adf bends. it also has a tendancy to crush and put wrinkles on the original prints.

>scan lots of photos
How many is "lots"?
The document scanner I bought, a Fujitsu ix500, can eat up an entire textbook in less than 10 minutes. You can buy plastic sheets you place the photos in and it'll scan it both front and back. Just jam a shitload of photos double-sided in the plastic sheets and do them all at once.

Would something like this do? https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/epson-perfection-photo-scanner-v370-epv370scan
family don't mind taking a while to scan. just if it's good and cheap.

Australia is not a scanner nor is it a brand.

Mate just grab a $30 all in one printer scanner from anywhere and use that. The quality is great and they aren't too slow.

Or find one in hard rubbish.

while i haven't bought a scanner in ages, i'd be really surprised if there were any on sale today that aren't good enough for getting decent scans of old photos

i will say try to make sure it can send raw image data to your machine or a memory card though, and not just jpeg
everything i've seen with jpeg options is all <q75 shit and looks like pure ass

do you mean available at an australian retailer? because it doesn't matter where you live, you can always order shit off the internet otherwise

a typical A4+ flatbed scanner is pretty big, and somewhat fragile
shipping won't be insignificant

The google scanner is quite good if you get the lighting right. Recently archived my grandparents photos with it, no complaints.

'scanning' with a common camera is certainly fast and convinient, but never more than previewing quality
displaying it on a phone or laptop is fine, but you wouldn't want to do reprints from such a scan

I was requested a way to scan 1500/2000 pages of 2 hundred years old documents with good quality, without ruining them and in a short time.
I built this structure (only pic I found), which is basically a piece of wood lifted by two lightstands with 2 industrial LEDs lights on the sides and a bracket for my 60D pointed downwards at the center, the 60D had a 35mm and was manually controlled via USB on the PC. We did it in 1 day and all I had to do was crop the images in lightroom
