I just replaced another brand of USB scanner which was giving me fits with a new ScanJet 5200C.

The installation went flawlessly, and the bundled software is great.

The extra size and weight of this scanner compared to many is because it is built on a sturdy metal chassis instead of the plastic one finds in lower end scanners. I have high hopes of using this scanner for many years thanks to the more robust construction. A scanner isn't really a portable appliance, so I'm happy to be getting heavy steel for my money.

The automatic configuration software seems to be pretty smart. For instance, it trims the scan to exactly the size of the scanned object.

Color quality and image sharpness are first rate.

I am SO happy to have moved up to an office grade scanner instead of wasting hours fighting with a "bargain" model.

I had problems with the USB installation (not caused by HP, but by a previous scanner that left garbage all over my Windows registry) but now that it's working, it's great. Very fast and reliable, with excellent photo quality. There are cheaper scanners out there, but with those companies you'll pay in aggravation what you save in dollars. I highly recommend the HP!

I purchased the HP 5200Cxi about a month ago and have found it to be great. The set-up was quite easy and pictures and other things i've scanned come out great. The only negative thing I have to say is that it is much slower than I expected for a fairly expensive model.

Wow! I am very Impressed with the HP Scanjet 5200cxi very nice, and pretty much the best for this kind of money! (<:
