Bounty Hunter QSI Quick Silver Metal Detector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had lost my wedding band while spreading mulch around the house and I decided to try a metal detector to find it before replacing the ring. After doing some research on metal detectors, I decided the Bounty Hunter model was a reasonably priced investment for the search. It was easy to assemble and use and I was able to locate the lost ring after about 15 minutes of searching (I did have a general idea of the location of where the ring had gotten lost and it was only an inch or so under the surface).

Visioneer Mobility Scanner CLR 300DPI Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this for scanning black and white documents at a location where setting up my laptop and page scanner was too cumbersome. This does exactly what I need. The paper feeds almost perfect every time. Image quality is very good (300dpi). A full page scans in around 10 seconds. There are only 2 problems I have with this unit. First, the scanner timestamp seems to reset itself so the dates are no where near when I scanned the item and there doesn't seem to be any way of setting the date in any software or the unit itself. Second, when you clear the memory card or USB the filenames revert back to 1 (IMG_0001) This is a pain for me because I scan documents daily and when sorting the files into their various folders, I tend to end up with a lot of duplicate file names. All in all if you need an extremely portable unit to scan in a few single sheets of paper this is for you. If you are looking to scan large quantities of pages then I would suggest getting something with an auto-feed.

What is mobility? It means easy-to-use technology that is flexible enough to use anywhere you are, untethered, fully compatible with your world and gear. It means information at your fingertips, integrated devices, small in size, high in performance, all the while being environmentally friendly, affordable and reliable. Until today, scanners have been, at best, portable.

Pandigital Photolink One-Touch PANSCN06 8.5-Inch x11-Inch Photo Scanner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just KNEW this product was out there somewhere! I kept thinking, "Surely I'm not the only person who has hundreds of photos to scan and can't afford to take weeks to do it!" I kept looking, reading reviews, and looking some more. There was no way I was going to take 5 minutes - or even 2 minutes - per picture, previewing, scanning, cropping, adjusting. All I wanted to do was get decent, quick scans from old photos, good enough to post on Facebook. This little gem turned out to be perfect for what I needed.
PROS: This model will handle up to 8.5 by 11 inch photos. There is an adjustable guide to help you feed pictures into the slot, but I found I didn't really even need to use it as long as I positioned the photo up against the left edge of the scan path.
Scans are very quick. At the default setting, a 4x6 photo takes approx. 20 seconds to scan and save. Everything is automatic. You put a picture in the slot. The scanner feeds it through - fast! When the light stops blinking, you scan another. I sat there watching TV, feeding one shot after another through the unit without a hitch.
One of the best features is that you don't have to be connected to a computer. If you're not connected via the USB cord, photos are automatically saved on the SD card. (The unit comes with a 1GB card, which hold hundreds of photos. HINT: After you install the scanning software from the SD card during setup, you can delete the scan software from the SD card. You'll free up lots of room for more photos. Just be sure to save a copy of the software somewhere, because I could not find a way to download it from the manufacturer's Web site.) You could take this unit to your family reunion, sit at a table with the relatives, and scan in photo after photo. When you get home, you can transfer the photos to your computer, or just pop the SD card into your digital photo frame. (I scanned about 350 photos and had them uploaded and posted to Facebook photo albums in about 3 hours.) Of course, if you'd prefer to connect and scan directly to your computer via USB cable (included), that is easy to do as well.
CONS: You have very little control over the scan settings. You choose either 300 dpi (dots per inch) or 600 dpi. (300 dpi is fine for posting photos online.)
You have no control over how the photo files are named when they are saved on the SD card or on your computer. (They are just numbered sequentially.)
You will need another software program if you need to manipulate the images after scanning (cropping, adjusting colors and brightness, etc.) The software that comes with the scanner does not have any editing functions. I recommend IRFANVIEW, a superb freeware photo editing program [...]
It would have been really nice if the unit could have operated on batteries. Then you would not even have needed to use the power cord (included)! Maybe next model...
BOTTOM LINE: If you need museum-quality scans for posterity or super high resolution scans for enlarging, get yourself a good flatbed scanner and digital photo editing software. It takes a lot of money, time and effort to get scans that good.
But if you just need quick, decent quality photo scans for sharing via email or posting online, this may be exactly what you're looking for.
NOTE: After now doing approx. 500 scans, I have not had any of the problems with lines across the image that some reported. I do use the little cleaning swab (included) about every 50 scans as suggested by the manufacturer.
