Brilliant scanner IF you have VueScan software


The 6450 on its own is as disappointing as the reviewer makes it out to be. But use it with Hamrick's $40 VueScan software and it is an extremely fast and quality scanner.

Still working beautifully in Apple OS 10.3.1.

Verdict

The Astra 6450 is slow despite its FireWire interface, and delivers only moderate quality transparency scans.

Typical price

£ 111

Featured Talkback
