I wanna buy a new scanner but there are so many brands out there and I know the HP is probably the top brand on the market.  What other brands would you guys recomend?

Hmm i use the HP scanjet 2400

have used a canon in the past
so if you have soemthing against the HP brand i think you should get the canon
but i say HP is the best ...just go for it

What about epson or benq?

Have heard a lot about epson as well

but not much about benq though
like i said before personally i feel Hp is the best also cause i am using it  currently and also don't have any problems with it

and also i feel its also more upto you , which brand do you prefer , which makes you feel more comfortable
cause all of them are also almost the same
so the rest also matters , the speed , the price , the way ot looks and the brand you prefer

I just bought a canon lide 30
