Pros and Cons, August 10, 2008
This review is from: Visioneer Ultra-Slim OneTouch 7400 USB Photo Scanner (74007D-WU) (Office Product)
For 4 years, I've owned a Visioneer 7300 VISIONEER 73007DWU SCANNER VISIONEER 7300 1200 DPI, which is the immediate predecessor to the 7400. The 7400 has essentially the same specs and appearance as the 7300. The difference? Only the 7400 supports Vista. Pro: it works OK in light duty home service- I use it mostly for imaging receipts and so on for TurboTax and Quicken. But there are 2 Cons: 1) closing Quicken always generates an error from the Visioneer software complaining about qw.exe - it's benign except for having to close the dialog box each time 2) Visioneer has no plans to update the 7300 driver to spport Vista- will the 7400 be similarly stranded in 2 years or so when MS replaces Vista?

Good scanner for paper documents - not the greatest for photos, February 3, 2010
This review is from: Visioneer Ultra-Slim OneTouch 7400 USB Photo Scanner (74007D-WU) (Office Product)
This is a great scanner for full-size paper documents. Not so great for photos if you want really good, clear, crisp photos. If you just want to slap a photo on the web or your digital picture frame, it's fine. It is very nicely made. The features I liked the most are that it is a USB connection, and that it will scan a full-sized sheet of paper even though it is small and thin. It's barely bigger than an 8.5X11 sheet of paper. The photo editing software (Photoimpression) that comes with it isn't that great either, but adequate once you get the hang of it. I can set the resolution for 300 dpi prior to scanning, and the photo still isn't that great. I also can't get the "one touch" function to work either. It did work the first time I tried it, but then wouldn't work anymore. No problem though, you can just control it from the menu on your computer monitor. It also doesn't seem to like to be disconnected and reconnected. Everytime I've done that, it won't work and just gives error messages until you reboot your computer. As simple as it seemed to be, I did encounter a problem when trying to load the driver (and I am a 30+ year IT person); it didn't seem to load entirely successfully, but works. If you want a scanner that is compact; that connects via USB; and that will scan full-sized documents and do a decent job on photos, you can't go wrong with this one for the price.

Visioneer, August 9, 2008
This review is from: Visioneer Ultra-Slim OneTouch 7400 USB Photo Scanner (74007D-WU) (Office Product)
Cannot believe how simple it was to install(5-6 minutes). Scanned documents are stored in Adobe Reader and as clear as the originals. I haven't tried scanning pictures,yet. I love it!
