I wasn't sure as I never heard of this company. I wanted a hand scanner as I do genealogy and wanted something that I could use to scan pictures/books/documents without the expense of making tons of photo copies.

I have just started to use this and so far it is great. I have a 2gb micro sd chip and so far I don't need a bigger one. I have started scanning some of my documents to attach to a family tree file and so far it is very clear and easy to use.

I will see how it does in the long run as I am sure it will cut my costs in half when I do my research.
