Slides? Negatives? Photos? I'm in love..

"I have had my new HP Scanjet G4050 for three weeks now. I am in love. You do not understand how many family photos I have acquired through the years … including hundreds of (35mm) slides and negatives of all sizes. My previous HP scanner scanned only 3 slides at a time and the quality was so, so. So, when I went looking for a scanner to upgrade to, the G4050 sold me when I read that it could handle scanning ..." Read Full Review »

G4050 Disappointing

"This product was being promoted as a scanner capable of "superior color accuracy, high-definition scans with 4800x9600 dpi" and capable of scanning various photographic formats including 35mm color slides (like Kodachrome) and even negative color film strips. At first, I tried to copy a magazine back cover to check that the unit was working and to become familiar with the controls. I set it for maximum resoluti..." Read Full Review »
