PC World (November 22, 1999)
PC World reviews the Astra 2200 and says this scanner stands out from the crowd.
Read the full article.
"Where this scanner excels is in its extras. With a built-in transparency cover, the Astra's ready to scan 35mm slides, film negatives and positives, and other transparent materials right out of the box. You'd pay extra to get that kind of functionality on most flatbeds. And the Astra 2200's software bundle makes it an outstanding value. The Astra also comes with VistaScan 3.5 (an excellent TWAIN driver with beginner and advanced modes)..."
"Hooking up the Astra 2200 via its USB interface was a snap, as was installing the drivers and bundled software. Overall, it performed well and produced fine images with sharp detail and strong, saturated color. ...The Astra 2200 is a reliable scanner that delivers quality results."

Read the full article.
"Overall, the Astra 2200 is faster than its predecessor, but the best part of the scanner is its incredible software bundle, which if bought separately could cost more than the Astra 2200 itself."
"Our test 4x6-inch color photo ... The image's color matched the original without requiring any adjustments at all. Scanning our test newsletter document at the 300-dpi, 12-bit gray-scale setting ... yielded a clean, undistorted image."
