Plustek ePhoto Z300
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300i is a portable, compact scanner delivering up to 12 ppm (24 ipm duplex) with cloud integration and dual power options. Its limitations include a small 10-sheet feeder and modest maximum resolution. Perfect for mobile professionals and small offices needing lightweight, on-the-go scanning.
The Plustek ePhoto Z300 is a compact sheet-fed photo scanner that digitizes 4×6 in photos in about 2 seconds with automatic crop and deskew. Its single-sheet feeder, USB 2.0 connection, and limited duty cycle make it less suitable for high-volume or wireless workflows. Best for home users and families digitizing photo collections.

Professional reviewers note that the S1300i's standout attribute is its ultra-compact size and lightweight build, which deliver true portability without sacrificing core scanning functions, though they point out limited feeder capacity and modest resolution as trade-offs.
Professional editors commend the Z300 for its speed, gentle handling of photos, and solid CCD image quality, positioning it as an efficient alternative to flat-bed scanners for home and small-office environments. The main criticism from experts is the absence of wireless connectivity and the limited duty cycle, which keep it out of the high-volume professional market.
Everyday users consistently highlight the scanner's rapid 2-second photo scans, easy auto-crop/deskew, and reliable color reproduction, making it a favorite for digitizing family photo archives.
