Inexpensive, very fast, high resolution good quality output...Unreliable and low quality construction...Plustek OpticFilm 7200i - Review - Too good to be true...The bad news however is that it turned out to be really unreliable, making some very strange grinding noises and something inside jamming (not sure what, but turning off the power usually fixed it) that became more frequent as...
The 7200i is neat, compact, and simple to use and yet is equipped with enough resolution to get extremely large files should you require them...Connection is USB2.0 ? there?s a single port on the back of the scanner ? and via a supplied USB cable...Scans are good rather than great but with up to 48-bit bit depth capability offering "trillions" of colours and with a respectable scan...

Do not know of any pros other than most of the Internet chatter was positive...Basically, with this, you're going to want to have a program that you can do photoediting to take good advantage of, since you'll get dust and scratches that Silverfast can't fix...There are some good free ones out there (Gimpshop) to finalize any touchups, but Silverfast in and of itself allows some great control one you've...
To be honest, I expected much more from a German make...The dust and scratch filters are not as good as I expected, but hey, how can you really expect anything to recognize such things, let alone wipe them out without any effort...In general, I am very pleased...
