Engadget Review
The FastFoto FF-640 scanner will make short work of scanning the thousands of family photos you’ve got sitting in your attic. Unfortunately, outdated software and iffy color correction means you’ll still be spending a lot of time sorting through and editing your scans, making its $650 cost of entry a bit harder to swallow.
Oh, I remember that now!
