"What a "Hunk"! Great Design, Performance and Price."
Pros: A well built, versatile scanner, Superb output from photos, film and slides. Smooth multi-scans for less than $200.
Cons: A big black machine, with large footprint and stiff lid. Software has improved but still less intuitive and slower than other manufacturers.
Summary: I had given up on dedicated scanners and was making do with an HP All-In-One. The time came to get serious about preserving thousands of photos and slides from my lifelong hobby. I was very close to Canon and Epson models but their high end machines were very expensive. This was a pleasant surprise, which combined advanced scanning features with a reasonable price. This machine performs especially well in my all HP digital darkroom. The equipment communicates well during various stages of processing. Driver updates, product manuals and editing software are also nicely integrated.

Great performance? Are you scanning text documents at 75dpi? Then you could have chosen a much cheaper scanner.
If you are scanning 35mm negatives at full resolution, you might have noticed it takes MORE THAN 10 MINUTES to scan each picture... -
Too much verbage from HP promo material
