Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300

1. PCMag.com

Reviewer M. David Stone compares the ScanSnap S1300 to Canon's imageFORMULA P-150 Scan-tini. He writes that the P-150 is faster, smaller and lighter, "but the S1300 offers some strengths of its own, including much better business card scanning, to keep it very much in the running." Stone also says the ScanSnap S1300 is easier to set up and has software that's easier to use, especially if you have no experience using a scanner. He faults the S1300, though, for coming with a nonstandard driver and not supporting other drivers, so it can't be used from within third-party software that has a scan function.

PC World reviewer Richard Jantz lists the ScanSnap S1300 as one of the top five document scanners in an article linked to this review. He says he likes the S1300's image quality, its ability to scan in duplex and its included document feeder. In his tests, it was the slowest of the five document scanners, though, and Jantz says it comes with less software than other models. He gives it an overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars.

In this brief review, Darren Murph writes that he bought the ScanSnap S1300 after his old scanner stopped working, and that "I've fallen head over heels for this thing in just over a week of use." He likes that it runs on USB power, that it has a document feeder and that it scans in duplex. The only problem he's had with it is that the document feeder sometimes "eats two or three pages" at a time.
