Looking to buy a new scanner.

Hi,
Can anybody recommend a site/link where I can do some comparing on which scanner to buy?
I use Photoshop CS2 for photorestoration for color & B&W photos.
Thanks,
Matt

These are kind of expensive. What price range are you looking at?

Hi,
Thanks for the links.
I am looking to spend around $200-300.
I figure that $ range should be able to keep me in a range to get something halfway decent.
Thanks again.
Matt

Was wondering if you are only looking for stand alone scanners or
MFC / All-In-One types also. Check link below.

Also if you want to do Photo scanning, check EPSON Stylus Photo RX580 C11C663011 Up to 30 ppm 5760 x 1440 optimized dpi InkJet Photo Color Printer.

No Problem for not including that in your criteria. Still think the Epson, I posted link on is your best bet for Photo restoration.

Here is link for Epson Stand Alone Scanners. That are in your pricing criteria. Check out the Epson Perfection 4490 PHOTO, Powerful software package for photo and document scanning; includes Adobe® Photoshop® Elements
