We compressed each to a maximum of 800 pixels in the gallery below to give you an idea of the image quality differences. We tossed a 4- x 4-inch color card through the device and scanned it in both 300dpi and 600dpi modes. Image quality is certainly good enough for home archive purposes and scanning business receipts, but if you're looking to perfectly capture your son's work of art, you'll obviously be spending a lot more than a buck-fifty to begin with. As you'll notice in the video embedded below, the 600dpi scans do take noticeably longer than the 300dpi scans, but neither are awful waits.

There's even a USB cord throw in on the off chance that you'd rather have your resulting images shot straight to a computer, but sadly, there's no power-over-USB functionality.
