Hello!

I want to scan all the ~8000 family photos, I've seen other threads suggesting scanners that costs about 500€ but I would like to check if some other used scanners I found on the internet are ok for the job.

First question: how are document scanners different from photo scanners? The difference is the resolution, the colors fidelity or other? It's a good idea to use a document scanner instead of a scanner created specifically for photos?

I've found the following used scanners, can you suggest me if any of them are good to scan fast my family photos?

  • Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300

  • Epson WorkForce DS-510

  • Brother ADS-1200

I would avoid flatbeds for the amount of photos, but I accept suggestions.

Thank you!
