Advantage: You can not scan to work on the PC, the images are stored on SD card. Disadvantage: complicated than the old Reflecta x 2 Scan. The images are hard to see on the mini display. The quality is lower than with the old device, too dark, and the color is not original. Each picture has to be reworked, the old unit a few pictures. The software is the same as before. Then you sit rather just before the PC and edit the image.
