Do u have the option of scanning at lower resolution? I'm assuming that a 14 MP scan is liking taking a 14MP picture. I dont need it that big.

No you dont. Unfortunately you only have two options of scanning it... 14MP or 22MP! Each photo scanned has the size of 3144 x 2232 and about 3,60MB.

I am scanning photos right now - the plate is immense - I've just been filling it - scanning the whole thing and then cropping individual photos out - and saving as jpg files

I also scanned my dl with no problems. It reported an "overlap" and gave me the options to rescan. It's not something I'd want to do too often as it may cause problems down the road with the rollers.

Everyone complains about the "crowded" MPs on a "small" sensor, but can't you just take lower MP pictures and still take advantage of the upgraded features of the SX30IS? That is, you don't have to use ALL 14.1 MPs to take pics. You can scale picture size back in the settings (at least in the older model I have) and get higher "quality" pics (less noise but a smaller picture). I think this is something critics should keep that in mind. A 35X is a great attraction, especially for a sports fanatic like me who takes pics from far away at some events and 720p video is as well.

I will be honest, that is an odd size but it easily scans letter/legal size; I've scanned odd size pictures but as for "default" settings, I do not know as I change the size of items I am scanning all the time.

Hi, Richard! Thank you for your query about the Medi-2200, which we are happy to offer to Amazon customers. To answer your particular questions: 1. You don't wait for lamp warm-up, so save time there. It starts scanning immediately. It'll do that scan in under 30 seconds. 2. You can choose from several formats: TIF, BMP, JPG, PSD, PDF, GIF. We do have this on sale, now. Sale ends today. If, by some chance you miss that window please contact me and I'll put it back on sale long enough for yuo to get the sale price. You can find full details and even a demo video on our Website, if you need more information (also fine to ask me via Amazon)--click on the scanners link in that first bullet point row on the home page. Best Regards, Mark Lamendola Mindconnection, LLC

Hi Jay, I have to say I'm puzzled as that is not what I experienced when I have scan negatives. You are not scanning slides are you? I have tried that. I'm sorry if I am not much of a help.

I've taken a couple thousand pictures with mine since December 07. I think the problem is the image size/resolution setting. If you take every photo like you might want a huge enlargement from it, the process of recording to the card is what takes a long time. I think it's going to be slow, but I'd play around with smaller resolution etc. to find a bearable compromise.@S.K., yes it seems worst if you're using flash and stale batts.

Scans come out just fine for our purposes. Then again, this was not bought strictly for its scanning abilities. Ours is used in a small business office setting. Hope that helps.

I've got the problem, too. Used to scan fine....never paid attention to if there was a light..but the scan now is severely distorted. Did you ever find the answer to this?

Hi, I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

You can do only A4 size paper. It doesn't allow bigger size paper. Also if I try to do small pictures it doesn't recognize them. I have to place them on a blank A4 and then scan them.

Sorry bit I can't help as I purchased a different scanner. However they are quite small the length being only slightly longer than the width of A4 paper.

Thanks for the opinion on the LX3, I think I'll wait for one of the these new Canons. Agree with your point on megapixels too, it's seems like 12mp is probably overkill for these small image sensors, so I expect I'll probably crank mine down to 10 or 8 to see if I get less noise. Digic 4 sounds pretty cool too, hopefully that will help.

I've never had this problem before. I wonder if the settings on your scanner are set differently. Check to make sure that it's not set to scan at a smaller setting. I have mine set to the highest image quality too. Hope that helps. Sorry you're having trouble with it.

I estimate 90 - 120 seconds to scan a 4 x 6 @ 600 dpi. Compare to ~25 seconds with my flatbed. Definitely not faster than a flatbed. But much easier to carry around.

It doesn't do well with glossy paper/photos. I tried to scan about 50 photos and it would start to skip and make some interesting images. IMHO, you'd want a flatbed scanner for best results.
