Advantages: Excellent color Disadvantages: Software a bit heavy
HP G4050 is aimed at home users who wish to scan photos, slides, and documents to a professional standard. The main technology is six-color, 96-bit scanning at 4800x9600dpi.
Colors that look the same to the human eye will normally reflect different combination of frequencies from the scanner's light source. So, you may find the color won't be the same under a typical 3-color scan light. HP G4050 has a second light source that its peaks occur at ... ...removed.
Beside all the HP high techs, the transparency adaptor in the scanner lids is large-- you can do 16 slides at once. I love this!

Review of HPScanJetG4050PhotoScanner by

Advantages good quality scanning Disadvantages software is rubbish, can take for ever to scan an image
...I bought myself this to scan various things (old photos, documents and some sheet music) and this does the job pretty well. It was a bit on the expensive side but I needed something that would give me good quality and I could trust that it would work well so I went for HP as they are well known for good quality products.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
It can scan at up to 4,800 dpi (dots per inch)
It has 96 bit colour
It has a 216x311mm scanning screen
Connects by USB
It is 303x508x108mm (wxdxh)
It weighs 5.2 kg
So it can give you very good quality, it gets a lot of colours, it's got a decent sized scanning screen, it's pretty big and it's not a light weight utility. There is nothing in there to put me off though because I still bought it.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT
Scanners have been dying out because they are getting beaten...
