Scanner for scanning photos longsiew Sep 18th, 09, 02:04 PM #1 (permalink)
Looking for a scanner mainly for scanning photos. Last time got no digital camera so cannot save in any media format.

Now wanna compile all my photos when I was still ginna..hahah

Best if the scanner comes with free photo editing software.

Budget wise...less than SGD100.00 after GST?

Pls recommend. Any brand will do

TIA

the ones you would aid you are those auto corping ones... Canon got a few models like that.
