Customer Rating:      Summary: Good Stuff Comment: Althought I think it is completely ridiculas to have to write all of this for ebay, after I already rated this 4 stars! Ebay makes this way too time consuming. What better than a five star rating, unless yuo're lonely and need to type to someone? It's good stuff... That's enough!!!!!!!!!!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: HP 3970 Scanjet Comment: I bought this scanner some years ago. I have never had any problem with it. It scans well and as a bonus it also scans slides plus negatives. I have been very happy with this unit. I have used it a lot for scanning slides. The only cons are it's slow scanning speed and it's rather quirky software. But for the price you are getting more than your monies worth.
Customer Rating:      Summary: SAVE YOUR MONEY!! Comment: I have had this scanner for a little over a year. It has never made good copies/scans from a negative. I often have to rescan things. The software has now completey failed and I have to use a microsoft product to get it to work, and most of the time the scanner will not come on. It is very tempremental. I often have to jiggle cords and unplug things and mess around for an hour just to scan something.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Bad scanner Comment: I got this unit about two months ago. As other users have indicated with their units, my scanner has begun making a shrieking sound which is quite unbearable. The unit never scanned very well, and now it barely scans at all. This HP product is very attractive and well priced, but what does that mean if a piece of hardware is poor? It took me a while to figure out that the scanner was making the shrieking sound. I thought my computer was dying. I've had many scanners and never encountered anything like this before. Reading reviews here and elsewere has actually confirmed my suspicions that this is some type of design defect. I used an Agfa SnapScan 1212u for almost 8 years without a problem. I "upgraded" because I wanted a faster (USB-2 as opposed to USB-1) scanner, and a unit that had slide and film transfer capabilites. This scanner was never much faster than my Agfa and the quality is on much, much lower. Terrible. I would advise anyone reading this to buy another product.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Pretty good scanner Comment: I've had this scanner for a couple years now and I like it a lot. It was given to me as a present from a friend. There are many things that this scanner does right, but it doesn't do some stuff properly.
It does have a film slot to scan negatives in, but it doesn't scan them properly. Mine always come out looking too bright, and I try to adjust it in my program but it never works quite right. I wish this worked, but I can live without it.
Like I said before, I have had this scanner for a good amount of time and never had problems. I don't have any beef with the software that comes with it either. I always hear about scanners being picky and always breaking, but mine is just as good as when I first was given it!
