Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600 Review
The Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600 is best understood as a document scanner, but it's also suitable for 3D objects, and it offers some features designed specifically for book scanning. The Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600 ($795) is an unusual scanner. Built with an overhead scan unit. It literally offers a different perspective than a flatbed, looking down at a scan area instead of up through a glass platen. Although one of the best reasons to consider it is for scanning books, it's just as much a document scanner with additional capabilities. For anyone who needs this extras, it's worth checking out. Design Measuring 15.1 by 8.3 by 6.1 inches (HWD) overall, and weighing 6 pounds 10 ounces, the SV600 resembles a desktop lamp, with a wide base and a narrow vertical arm that supports an overhead scan unit instead of a light bulb. The scan area is the 17-by-11.8 inch flat space directly in front of the unit, which you cover with an included black mat to serve as a scan bed. Its most direct competition would arguably be a flatbed book scanner like the Plustek OpticBook A300 ($1,442.99 at B&H Photo Video) . However, the overhead scan design makes book scanning easier than wit...
Pros:
- Uses an overhead scanner, rather than the camera typically found in other similar models
- Suitable for scanning documents, books, business cards, photos, 3D objects, and more
Cons:
- When automatic cropping for book pages doesn't work well
- adjusting the crop lines can get tedious

So after testing the Fujitsu ScanSnap SV600, we find that the scanner is definitely a one of a kind scanner which saves space and performs fast. But at its current price, it may prove to be a barrier for users on a budget.
Pros:
- Touch free scanner
- Small footprint
- Fast
Cons:
- Cannot correct page curvature accurately
- Cannot scan transparencies
- Price

Impressive...
NewEgg has this for almost $200 cheaper then most other sites. I have worked with Fujitsu Scanner at work for years and they are built for Quality and Volume. I had been looking for a Book / Magazine Scanning solution for some time, but did not want to spend $3000 on one. This fit the bill!
Pros:
- Small Footprint (Can put it anywhere!) - Quality of Scans! - Adobe Acrobat XI Standard Included (This will cost you $200 alone
Cons:
- Not many, but could use some tweaks to the Software and Surface Mat
- The Software is impressive overall, but it seems to have this "Apply to all" aspect to it
- For instance I was scanning a Magazine publication and it assumed the one page rotation.

Fujitsu's ScanSnap SV600 avoids the problems afflicting other contactless scanners by using a motorised head. Unlike products such as Kodak's sceyeX , the head doesn't overhang the scanning area and cast a shadow over it. There's much more to the SV600 than this, too.
