There is no point in scanning receipts at 900dpi or 1200dpi, the file size will be too big. If you are using it as a portable scanner for documents or as a receipt scanner, we recommend the 300 dpi resolution. At that resolution, it can do both photo and document scanning and you will be able to see every detail in your bitmap images, it’s a really high pixel density for a portable scanner.

I say mobile photo scanner, because it has an optical resolution of 1200dpi. Vupoint ST 470 Productįrom the makers of the VuPoint Magic Wand Portable Scanner, comes the VuPoint ST470, a portable photo scanner with SD card support. We will be including it in our article soon. The device is a wireless mobile scanner, something which no portable scanner with SD card support offers at this point. This is a scanner for Mac and PC and the Doxie software in the package works on both systems.Īlong with the doxie go se portable scanner, Doxie also makes a cordless flatbed photo scanner, the Doxie Flip which can scan 4×6 photos, but the maximum scan size doesn’t go beyond that.īrother just launched a Brother Mobile Color Scanner, the 940 DS-940DW which offers SD card support and is a great competitor to this product. The Doxie Go provides cloud support as well, you can send your documents to cloud storage accounts including Evernote, Dropbox or Google Drive with just a click. This portable scanner doesn’t have an ADF tray and cannot scan duplex documents in a single pass, so you have to run the double-sided document through this document scanner twice. You can run all kinds of media types through the scanner including ID cards, photos, receipts and business cards. This mobile document scanner has a rechargeable battery and you charge it through the AC Adapter because the USB connection is not a strong enough power supply for it, so it can’t run solely USB powered. We prefer the CCD to CIS usually, but in recent times, manufacturers have come up with much better CIS (Contact Image Sensor) sensors.

The Doxie GO has a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) sensor that manages to capture the images. If you want wireless connection, then your best option is to go for the Doxie Go SE Wifi. The device is able to scan documents and photos up to A4 size. The scanned images will be transfered from the portable scanner to the SD card, and from there on you can connect it via USB to your Windows PC or Mac. The scanning resolution on this portable scanner is 600 dots per inch, which will be enough for most photos and documents. It comes with an SD card included in the package, so you don’t even have to go out and purchase another san disk or sony memory card from the store.
