HP ScanJet 4670 See-Thru Vertical Scanner

With the HP Scanjet 4670 see-thru vertical scanner, you can see what you scan and preview scans quickly - in as little as six seconds. Plus the unique ultra-thin design allows the scanner to sit vertically in its easel to save space. Scan any size item, even negatives and slides, all with photo-quality results at 2400-dpi optical resolution and 48-bit color. Scan photos, documents, books and more - larger items can be scanned in sections by positioning the scanner to scan what you see, and then reassembling using the included software. And the tough, polycarbonate window resists breakage.
Customer Review: Very Good Scanner
I've owned the HP 4670 for nearly 3 years and have very few complaints. I don't understand the bad reviews about banding. I've never had anything like that. I work on a iMac G5, do lots of photo work. Only fault I can find is that when the scanner is in the vertical position and I try to set 2 or 3 photos to scan, they tend to slide sideways when I shut the cover. I do find this annoying. Also, it's rather slow to warm up to the first scan. But overall, I think it's a very good scanner and I wouldn't replace it unless something outstandingly better came along.
Customer Review: Not Vista Compatible
I was completely satisfied with this scanner. The only problem I had was a software glitch when I upgraded to Explorer 7.0, but that has since been fixed. Unfortunately, as with most of the peripheral equipment I had, it does not support Vista. There is a driver, but it only works with Windows Photo Gallery, which is bundled with the Vista OS and has very few features. The HP software is not compatible. But at least it works... When I upgraded to a new computer that came with Vista, I had to buy a new laser printer to replace the Xerox I've used for years as well as a later model DYMO label maker. My Canon PIXIMA iP6000D is the only equipment that had an upgrade. All the manufacturers who do not support Vista do have a solution to the problem: Purchase their latest product. I wonder if Microsoft gets a kickback?
