What is your opinion of Fujitsu scanners? They are not twain compliant and thus do not produce .gif, .tiff, etc. but they do produce .pdf and also, selectably, .jpg files. I find my Fujitsu to be particularly good at making readable copy of "faint" documents. The sheet feeder often skews the document a bit, but bundled Adobe Acrobat fixes that. There would probably be less skew if the sheet feeder fed the document sideways. The sheet feeder will take a stack of maybe 20 sheets and feed them through very quickly. One has to use a carrier sheet for wrinkled pages or for other documents that don't feed correctly un-sheathed.
