Digital camera reviews of Umax Astra 3400 Flatbed Scanner

Digital camera Review: Buy UMAX scanner if you are never going to upgrade yourr Operating system ever
Summary: 1 Stars

I upgraded my Operating System to Windows XP and UMAX scanner stop working. Obviously it required driver for Windows XP.

Unlike other vendors, UMAX dosnot provide drivers for free. They charge so much that in that amount you will buy another scanner.

I will never buy any UMAX products in future. I don't know how this company is still surviving.

NEVER BUY UMAX PRODUCT. If you don't belive me try calling their Customer Service and ask for driver, you will get the answer. Then you will thank me for this review.

About the scanner, it sucks, its very slow and color are not accurate.

I would have given ZERO stars but this was not the option.
