Summary: Don't buy this one!!
Review: Although I was able to get some nice quality scans from the HP 4470C, in general the scanner was very slow and unreliable. The warm-up time for the lamp was very long and scans in transparancy mode (slides & negatives) consistantly had excessive scan lines at higher resolutions. My biggest complaint about this scanner is the fact that it stopped working about 10 days after the 3 month warranty expired. At that point HP will 'repair' the unit for the same price as a brand new scanner.In short, I would recommend taking a pass on the HP 4470C and use your money to buy a similar Epson or Canon scanner (which both come with 1 year warranties).

Summary: Great scanner for the money
Review: I have to say that the quality and speed of this scanner is a great value for the money and you can scan negatives. The reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is because scan time for negatives is pretty slow and the software doesn't have options for setting the time for the light to turn off, though it's set at a reasonable time anyway. As with any HP product you can find all software/driver updates from there website.

Review: Pete (see review above) is right--my scanner was fine, but stopped working about a month after the warranty expired. the power indicator NEVER went off, and I suspect that the power supply burnt out. Of course, you can get a "refurbished" unit for the price of a new one. Don't bother.

Summary: Take a pass on the HP 4470C
Review: The HP 4470C generally provides good quality scans but it is very slow and un-reliable. It takes an exceptionally long time to warm up the scanning light and thereafter scanning and previewing is still slow. The scan quality from the slide/negative adapter was poor with persistant scan lines at higher resolution. My particular HP 4470C scanner stopped functioning about ten days after the 3 month warranty expired. At that point there is basically nothing to do but throw the old unit out.
