I was just wondering about scanners?? Can anyone suggest one that is high quality for scanning photos and other things for digi-scrapping?

I was at JOANN's the other day and they were selling a canon scanner for $25.00, I didnt think they were that cheap..............

Thanks for your suggetions/recommendations

I would be a little nervous about a $25 scanner. I use an Epson Perfection and can highly recommend any of the Epson Perfection line. Good quality and good software.

With that being said how much should I expect to spend?

This is a great question since I will be searching for one myself in the near future.

The Epson Perfection line runs from $100 to $800. Here's a direct link:

I had a canon scanner and absolutely loved it...bought it years ago...I now have an epson all in one and it just isn't as good...which to me is weird...
