The new model digitizes 12 bits of data for each of the red, green, and blue color channels, up from the previous model's 10 bits.

Other reviews on this site address the PhotoSmart C20 megapixel digital camera, and the PhotoSmart System taken as a whole, including the PhotoSmart printer. In this review, we'll cover the latest model of thier PhotoSmart Scanner, the S20.

Hewlett Packard (HP for short) is a company that literally needs no introduction in the world of computers and electronics. To allow the text flow to be dictated by the browser window.
