Epson Perfection V300 Photo

1. PCMag.com

PCMag.com's prolific reviewer M. David Stone gives the Epson Perfection V300 an Editors' Choice award. Scans are "surprisingly good for the price," and Stone finds that the Epson scanner outperforms the more expensive Canon CanoScan 5600F. Text recognition is OK, he writes, but the lack of an automatic document feeder makes the V300 of limited use for office work.

3. PC World

This brief review from PC World focuses on the Epson Perfection V300's speed, output quality and features. The scanner earns high scores for image quality and speed considering its price, as well as for scanning film and slides. "My only gripe," says reviewer Richard Jantz, "is that the V300's cable connectors sit inconveniently next to the four front-panel buttons (for copy, scan, PDF and e-mail) instead of on the rear of the scanner, which would have made cable management easier and less unsightly."
