Professionals who work with multimedia can expect to pay $400 to $500 for a high-quality, versatile scanner. More basic machines come in at under $150.You can expect higher optical resolutions than ever before in the current crop of scanners, but that can translate into extra scanning time and eat up more memory. Manufacturers to check into include Canon, Epson and Microtek.
