Review title: Take a pass on the HP 4470C
Product review: Although I was able to get some nice quality scans from the HP 4470C, in general the scanner was very slow and unreliable. The warm-up time for the lamp was very long and scans in transparancy mode (slides & negatives) consistantly had excessive scan lines at higher resolutions. My biggest complaint about this scanner is the fact that it stopped working about 10 days after the 3 month warranty expired. At that point HP will 'repair' the unit for the same price as a brand new scanner.In short, I would recommend taking a pass on the HP 4470C and use your money to buy a similar Epson or Canon scanner (which both come with 1 year warranties).
