I've had an HP Scanjet IIIc since 1995 and it is still going strong. I've
scanned a LOT of stuff with it. However, I understand that much more recent
models may not have the same quality. Personally if I was going to buy
another flatbed right now I'd get a Canon - for reflective scanning they're
cheap and work very well. For things that don't fit on the flatbed you
can use stitching software to reassemble multiple scans. But large
transparencies
are a problem. "Better" options might be to look at Epson or Umax for small
transparencies. I don't know if there's anything "cheap" that will scan
a large transparency well.
