We also checked picks from reputable publications like PCMag, TechRadar, and other specialty photography blog sites. In addition, we made sure to check reviews and only included options that have at least four stars or more on Amazon. We then categorized them to make it easier for you to quickly choose the one that's best for you. To choose these scanners, we looked for options that work for a variety of needs. Capabilitiesįinally, if you want to scan in photo negatives or film strips, you’ll want to make sure you choose a scanner that has this capability or that has an adaptor for this purpose. Otherwise, you’ll need to do one at a time, which means scanning speed is even more important. If a scanner has a large feeder capacity, you’re able to do bulk scans of a lot of pictures.
You’ll want to consider the feeder capacity or the speed of the scans. Some even come with retouching capabilities to remove scratches and other imperfections.

Photo scanners will come with software that allows you to view, edit, and save your photos. If it’s important for you to connect to your scanner wirelessly, you’ll want to check to see if it supports that interface. Most scanners will be able to connect through USB, but some have Wi-Fi capabilities. The higher the dpi, the more detail you’ll be able to scan in. This is measured in dpi, or dots per inch. One of the first factors you’ll want to consider is what resolution the scanner is able to convert the pictures to. We've highlighted the most important, below. All in all, 'Scanners' comes highly recommended as a 'must-see' feature.When it comes to photo scanners, there are a few factors you need to keep in mind to help you make a purchasing decision. Although he makes a fairly decent effort of playing his part, Lack just doesn't seem to have that much-needed 'spark' to bring his character to life. The only down side, however is the casting of Stephen Lack as Cameron Vale. Michael Ironside steals the show as the unhinged renegade scanner, Darryl Revok, who has a vast army of scanner converts at his disposal ready and willing to annihilate anyone unfortunate enough to stand in their way. This gives the viewer a rather apt feeling of coldness and isolation. Throughout the film, there is a general feeling of starkness, from the synthesiser-tinged score by Howard Shore, to the general sparse look of the film. The modern society portrayed in 'Scanners' is a world viewed through the eyes of the outcast. Like many of his low-budget horror films right up to 'The Fly' (1986) 'Scanners' has a very subversive, fly-on-the-wall take on society's ills. It would seem that the director, David Cronenberg, was using this plot device as a metaphor to comment on society's prejudicial attitudes towards the mentally ill. The more interesting aspect is the fact that most of these 'scanners'(or telepathic curiosities as the CEO of Consec calls them) are usually forced to live on the fringes of society as their telekinetic powers are feared and misunderstood by many. The scene was so convincingly played out that it really shock me up. Apart from the much-lauded 'exploding head' scene (which could have used a little more blood spattering everywhere) one of the film's most chilling scenes is at the very beginning when the lead character, Cameron Vale (Stephen Lack) causes a woman to have a fit in a shopping mall before being captured by a pair of heavies.
Nowadays, I've learnt to view the film through more enlightened eyes, and appreciate it for the masterpiece that is most rightfully is. Well, were to begin? First off, when I first saw Scanners, it really didn't do that much for me.
