Microtek ScanMaker 6000 Flatbed Scanner

Summary: Nice scans and options.... but...
Review: It scans normal pictures beautifully and quicker than my old scanner. The buttons are convenient and easy to use, as is the included software. My only two gripes are that the scanner glass had a few white flecks on the INSIDE of the glass (and no way to clean them off), and the fact that images scanned with the film scanner look faded and overexposed.

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Review: It's incredibly slow (and NOT because it's scanning at a high resolution - it takes years just to get the software to launch in the first place), insanely loud, and doesn't produce great results. It was issued to me at work - if I'd bought it myself, I'd have returned it immediately.

Review: Picked up a Scanmaker 6000 from Best Buy over the weekend and was really suprised. I had never heard of Microtek before and was going to pick up a HP but the specs on this were incredible. 6400x3200 DPI resolution. Pretty easy to setup and install. Just install software reboot and plug in the scanner to one of the USB plugs. I couldn't figure out how to do the email so I called and they were able to give me some help with it which was nice. I'm pleased with my purchase.

Summary: It does not work on Mac OSX 10.3
Review: The latest version 7.16 Scan Wizardry does not work.
They say it is compatible with OSX 10.3.

However, G5, Powerbook G4 12", I-Mac G4 running 10.3 had crashed at the start up of the program.

Customer support will charge you $30 per every 30min. if you call to them.

Do not buy it. Do not waste money.

Summary: Beware of this product
Review: This product has NO SUPPORT, and Microtek will not answer E-mail or online product support requests. The drivers bundled and shipped with the product are abysmal. Before buying check out the numerous sites with endless users complaining about their "useless paperweights". But, then what do you expect from a company that has been transferred from one owner to another repeatedly the last few years, and according to the Milwaukee Business Journal has been whittled down to only 17 employees.
