I want to use this product to scan playing card decks. Is there a mode to just save the card as an image file, and is it good quality?

It is specifically set up to "read" business cards - I personally don't think you would be happy with the image. I would just buy a desktop scanner that you can set to specific sizes to capture your playing cards as jpeg files.

No. The scans are low-quality. It doesn't even do a decent job with print. The color is not accurate in scanning or in printing. Go with a different model.

Using the software that comes with the scanner, you can go into the File Save Settings and under Image Format select if you want .jpg, .pdf, .tif, or .bmp file.In other words, Yes, you can save your files as such:)

First you save image to the memory card than you take out card and insert it into your computer and save the file to whatever directory you want, the scanner saved the image of a slide as a negative than I had to covert it to a positive image in paint shop pro and save it, hope this helps

Saves in JPG. You would need a software program like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to convert to other formats. Scanner works very well and I convert to TIFF so that I can make changes later without losing quality. I have been very happy with this scanner.

To add to what P.C. Rucker said: I suggest you put the card in a P.C. to see if it is in fact full so you can move the pix off. There might be some pix hiding in a weird folder the scan can't see for some reason. Also in a host P.C. you can erase the card if needed and then the scanner should be able to reformat it.

My daughter messed up her favorite drawing. I scanned it, creating an image file on the computer, then edited out the smudge. I then sent the plate to be made via their website that takes photos. It worked well. I imagine you could do the same, inserting a photo however you wished. You'll just have to use their online service and may not need this product at all.

I want to purchase this item. Is there any update to this issue? I have .img files I would like to upload into this memory. Does anyone know if it is an issue?

Just your computer. Either insert the scan disc into a card reader and insert it into your USB port or install the scan disc directly into your computer. That is if your computer has a port for a scan disc. Follow directions for your system to view and download. Don't expect a whole lot from this camera. The speed is very slow. When the camera detects motion and when the picture is actually taken can be several seconds. Sometimes what you are trying to capture may very well be gone and you will only get pictures of the area. Works great for game coming at you on a trail but stinks otherwise. Just your computer.

I found it pretty fast. I've used it at Jet games, and it was more than adequate. I suggest you purchase a fast memory card.

Do you mean a scan disc? I use PNY Premium 8 and 16 GB scan scan discs. I download into my desktop and print from there. I shoot ancient architectural features in old buildings in the UK, some in what I would call poor light. I think it is extremely capable. I use a tripod or not. I'm 100% pleased. Geo

Depends on the size of the images and the size of the card you are getting. Give me an average image file size.

The only way I have used it is to do the scan, then attach the scanner to the computer via USB and drag and drop the JPG or PDF to the computer to open the document. I've been very satisfied all aspects of the scanner. Because I work out of town a lot and scan large blueprints and maps, I purchased a 32GB memory card as insurance.Max Schnepf at maxks1@cox.net

I would use it for that. The machine is super fast, and it's pretty impressive how accurate it is in sizing and framing whatever it is you're scanning. I haven't used it for scanning pictures, but I wouldn't hesitate to start.

Not really. I tried scanning OLD poloroid photos that were glued to the back of cardboard, you may be too young to remember those, but it didn't like those too much and I used my big copier/scanner for those. Also, it likes some old newpaper and not other so I would be careful about what you put thru. It did an amazing job on my photos, tho, like we got printed in the old days from Walgreen's so you can compare your project to those items. My Mom uses it for her printed out geneology that is on regular 20# printer paper and it does great. Don't know if I answered your questions but I tried.

thanks for the input .....I had gone ahead and ordered the Scan-Snap but had decided to return it before it even arrived. Your response just made me know that I made the right decision. My plan now is to sort through all those photos and send the best of the lot to a company such as Best Photo Scanning and let them preserve them on discs for me.

i formatted a 64gb card as fat32 and it reads it perfectly. once 128gb micro sd cards come down in price im going to try that as well. the limitations on the cards were set because those were the largest cards at the time, and everything above those sizes generally cant be formatted in a readable format for the player without using 3rd party software (which you can get for free)
