Well I do notice they're not using a flash.  I'm more interested in 
scanning a lot of photos at once without having to do much work.  I've 
been using a Lexmark (that doesn't work with Linux) for this, but I 
don't really like the quality of the all-in-one printer scanners.  I 
can't seem to find a good solution for this that's reasonably priced.
