I have a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual, which, given the resolution of 2438dpi,
is about the cheapest out there. It is now selling at PCConnection for
$549, which is a lot less than I paid :-(
I have used this scanner to produce full-bleed 8-1/2" x 11" photo
reproductions for my corporate publications with good results. Most of the
photos and all of the 'new galleries' and panoramic photos at my website
below were scanned with it.
Regards,
Denton Taylor
