Trying to decide between two Epson Photo scanners

[csziggy]

9. I had to choose between budget and time

Since I'm retired, budget won. The Epson Perfection V800 arrived today. I'll be hooking it up tomorrow and testing it. I suspect that I will be rescanning some of the slides I did years ago with my old Acer slide scanner but not until I do the slides for my sister who bought this scanner for me.

The V800 will scan 12 slides at once so it is batch scanning. Each batch will take long enough that I can be working on other stuff while they process.

Now I have to figure out how to get the scans to my sister's Apple computer. I'm thinking of setting up cloud storage that she can access - simpler than making sure an external hard drive is compatible with my Windows 7 computer and with her Apple and more secure than a flash drive. For my own use, I'd burn each series of slides to DVD but apparently Apple is no longer using optical storage.
