Though it lacks the features and design innovations of more expensive scanners models, experts like Epson's Perfection V200 Photo flatbed scanner as a good value. Reviews indicate that this entry-level Epson delivers outstanding scan quality and it's easy to use. When compared to other scanners in the same price range, the V200 offers a similar feature set but leads the pack when it comes to speed (though it can't compete with more expensive scanners). The more expensive Canon CanoScan 8800F (*Est. $170) is faster and has a greater range of scan options and a stronger software package. The V200 has been replaced by the well-reviewed Epson Perfection V300 Photo (*Est. $95).
PC World and IT Reviews both offer expert opinions on the Epson Perfection V200 flatbed scanner. PC World's article -- though shorter -- is more useful. IT Reviews delivers a nice summary of the V200's features but careful reading will call into question whether the editors have actually used the V200. Contributors to Newegg.com balance the experts' opinions.
