If you have a large pile of old photos that you’d like to share with others or just copy for archiving, you’ll need to digitize them.
Forget trying to do the job using a traditional desktop scanner, individually scanning each of your photos this way could really stretch the job out. There are some great photo sized scanners on the market that don’t require a connection to a computer, instead saving the imaged to a memory card which greatly cuts down the time taken to scan.
For around 80 dollars BenQ has a device that will do the job, or if you want to create digital photos from original negatives kaiser baas has the photo maker for around $70.
