Good Afternoon Everyone,

I am after a bit of advice please. I am interested in buying a portable (flatbed or handheld) scanner to attach to my laptop. That way when I visit people any photos do not have to leave their house (inspired by my great aunt accusing me of stealing some photos from her house - when I borrowed & returned them over a year before, but unfortunately she can't remember this!)

What I want to know is how much one is likely to cost and would the quality warrant the cost as opposed to just taking a photo of the photo with my digital camara.

Also, as I know absolutely nothing about them, are there different types/what do I look out for? I did a quick Google search this morning but I am completely baffled

Many Thanks

Dawn
