From PC World Review:

"In our scan-quality comparisons, the 1240U Photo delivered high color accuracy, smooth tonal distribution (shadows, midtones, highlights), and extremely sharp detail in both print and on-screen images. In performance tests, this USB unit whipped through color and black-and-white scans, garnering the best overall scores of all the SOHO chart models (with resolution taken into account). When measured against similar scanners with a USB connection and identical resolution, the 1240U Photo topped its competition in three out of four tests (the 75-dpi color, maximum-dpi color, and 300-dpi line art tests). The 1240U Photo also comes bundled with a transparency adapter (plus film holders) capable of scanning material up to 4 by 5 inches.

BEST USE: With its bundled transparency adapter, the Perfection 1240U Photo capably targets small-office and home users who regularly scan 35mm film and other translucent materials, as well as standard photo prints."
