Summary: No longer a skeptic!
Review: I was quite skeptical when I heard the Agfa was "easy touse". The one-touch buttons which are programmable are handy, butyou're not committed to them. It's suited for such a wide range of computer literacy. If you're a low-tech person, this scanner is for you. If you're a high-tech person looking for great value, user-friendly software, sleek and compact design, and good-quality scans (good enough for my freelance publishing and design), this scanner is for you. I was only upset to find that this scanner which cost me a fraction of the price I paid a couple years ago for an HP, scans better and faster! As with any computer peripheral, do your homework, and it make sure it's compatible with what you're looking to get from a scanner! END

Summary: Piece of Cake!
Review: I'm a web designer and I acquired the AGFA snapscan touch USB for my Apple G-3. It's one of the easiest scanner to use and to work with. My little brother(four) scanned his own picture with the three programable buttons. It's so compact that fits on you small desk. Great scanner for a low price and great quality. What are you doing there? Go Get It!

Summary: above-average quality at a price anyone can afford
Review: I've had mine for over a year and love it. It's inexpensive, takes *zero* experience and has given me absolutely no hassle whatsoever. All the software you need comes along and is easily installed, only one cord to plug in (gotta love that usb connection) and the photo quality has been far better than the price tag suggests. I've used its results on websites, both personally and professionally with great results. Unless you're a digital photographer or just enjoy blowing money, I see no reason not to buy this product.

Summary: TERRIBLE SCANNER
Review: PROS: INEXPENSIVE SCANNER CONS: EVERYTHING ELSE. THE COLOR REPRODUCTION IS HORRIBLE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCANNER TO ANYONE. SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND BUY THE EPSON OR THE CANON

Review: Scanners have come a long way in two or three years. Not only was the Agfa driver 10 times easier install than my old scanner (no headaches with USB), the pictures are way better too. The "scan directly to email" is a handy feature.

Summary: Installation Problems
Review: This is my second scanner. The software for the first one loaded without problems three years ago. I have spent a minimum of four hours trying to get my computer to recognize this Agfa scanner. Online tech help resulted in an e-mail message referring me to a URL which does not exist. Hopefully, it will be up and running before the warranty expires.

Summary: Not pleased with product
Review: This scanner does not include a feature to descreen photographs scanned from a magazine. Without the ability to perform this function the scanner is essentially useless if your main purpose in purchasing the scanner is scanning magazine photos. This was confirmed with Customer Service at AGFA.

Summary: ScanWise software makes this the easiest solution...
Review: With Touch scanner I have never used an easier scanner. Once you place the document, photograph, awards, artwork, magazines anything.. It does a pre-scan to determine the best format. No need to know about de-screening like other machines. After it determines the best way to scan you have the choice(with one touch of a button) to Print, Import into a word document, attach to an e-mail or run OCR software. I love the design of the unit because the wires come out of the side so I can save desk space. Great scanner! I wish AGFA would had started making more affordable scanners even sooner!
