Hope its ok to post this here.
I am looking for a good reasonably priced scanner to scan in pics, logos etc for my websites.
It would be great if it came bundled with Photoshop Elements but not absolutely neccessary.
Thanks

I'm not sure of bundled software but Microtek has been pretty good and depending on the model, you get a nifty Film/Slide Scanner too.

Canon 3200F is nice..or Canon Lide 50 (or 80 if you need the film adapter and if you have the extra cash) ...the 3200 has a film adapter as well if you need that..
Check out canon's website for more info...
I have a Canon 1220 that does a very good job. It's a couple of years old, so I don't know if it's a current model but as I recall the price was pretty reasonable. There was a film adapter available, but since I already had a pricy Nikon film scanner I never really evaluated that option.

my advice is doesn't spend more than $40. if you watch the sales, you can find a decent scanner for really cheap (after rebate).
My first scanner was $9.99 after rebate and it served me well for 2 years. Since then I have purchased 3 other scanners (for my sister, school, etc not to replace a broken one) and none of them were more than $30 after rebate.
