Product Description:

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.

Very Good Scanner2008-01-03
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.
Not Vista Compatible2007-09-09
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?
Great idea...iffy software2007-08-15
Like many reviewers here I had a dead one of these things. HP replaced it without a quibble though and the replacement has been just excellent. I do like the machine itself, though I have to say that the HP bloatware scanner software is really very unpleasant. I just use the basic WIA driver, which does everything I need.
For scanning large documents, which is what I do a lot, there is nothing better.
Good for the money2007-01-10
Pretty good for the money. If you are really picky about quality you should get a more professional model - this is economy grade. The versatility of this scanner is awesome since it can be taken off the base and used to scan large items. I also like that it takes up minimal desk space when stored on its base. That was the main selling point for me.
Works great!!2006-05-17
I'm a network administrator (among other things!!) and my boss decided to buy this scanner for my department. I do a LOT of scanning and I don't have any complaints about this scanner. We've had it for about a year without any problems. It's true it takes a while doing the first scan, because it has to "warm up the lamp", but after that it's very fast. It comes with some bundled software you can use to scan several parts of a large image and then put them together like a puzzle, but to be honest I rather use photoshop to do that job, and I get great results!!

However, I'm giving it 4 stars because I think it doesn't scan negatives as good as it should; for documents it's excellent!!

Audio & Video Connections Guide
" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
