Scanner advise needed

    I need help to decide on a scanner.

    Options

    1) Purchase scanner such as Canon LIDE600F – 200Euro (scan resolution 4800x9600dpi)
    OR
    2) Purchase multifunction printer, scanner and copier Lexmark X4875 200Euro (scan resolution 600x1200dpi)

    I will not prnt photographs myself, so only would require the printer for occasional use, the scanner would be used for scanning photographs and doing some touch up work in photoshop, I would not require large prints from these.
    What resolution would be sufficient for this type of work.

    Which of the above options should I go for ?

    Pretty well any modern scanner will scan a photo at very high resolution, you might have to tweak the colours a bit.

    Hi I would def go with the Canon Scanner because I had a couple of Lexmark Combos and I found that the quality of the scans degrade over time,with mine it was something to do with the power, it would flicker during the scans and get worse over time, I got my first one replaced on warranty and gave away my second, I am new to photography but not to lexmark and canon is such a reliable make I dont think there is any comparision.
