It's an okay scanner with lots of features, but you will have to mess with it a lot to get good results.
It will batch scan a lot 35mm strips at a time, that was my rational for buying it over the epson variant which only does two strips of negatives at a time. The stock software is pretty crummy, unlike the epson software (I use the v700 at work), so I bought vuescan software.

HP Scanjet G4050 Flatbed Scanner
For pure picture quality, you'll have a hard time finding a consumer-friendly scanner with this level of performance. It includes six-color, 96-bit scanning to ensure your images maintain rich colors and deep blacks even at very high resolutions.

good quality scanner
The Negatives to computer prints are washed out on some. may be the negatives. the photo scans are excellent. It's not a speedy scanner, but I was looking for quality and it has excellent quality scanning old photos.

HP Scanjet G4050 Photo Scanner
you've almost certainly heard of six-color printing, with the extra ink colors making it easier to print at true photo quality. but i'll bet you haven't heard about six-color scanning . that's because the scanners you're used to all use three colors for scans.
Pros:
- Six-color scanning yields excellent color quality
- Scans photographic prints and film
- Can scan up to 16 slides at once
Cons:
- Scan software is cumbersome in some ways and sometimes slow to react to a command

Home scanners have shown little technical innovation over the past few years. However, HP's Scanjet G4050 has broken the mould with the first so-called six-colour scanner, using two lamps to provide RGB feedback plus extra colour information.

Hot on the heels of the Epson Perfection V700 and V750, which lured customers with the promise of not one but two lenses (reviewed by PC Advisor 's sister website Digit here and here ), comes this ambitious six-colour scanner from HP.

"Great Scanner"
I bought myself this to scan various things (old photos, documents and some sheet music ) and this does the job pretty well. It was a bit on the expensive side but I needed something that would give me good quality and I could trust that it would work well so I went for HP as they are well known for...
Pros:
- good quality scanning
Cons:
- software is rubbish
- can take for ever to scan an image

HP Scanjet G4050
Buying a dedicated scanner for home usage is not very feasible these days, considering the great deals currently available on MFDs (Multi-Function Devices, Scanners+Printers+Copiers).
