Consumer review (epinions.com)
I bought the Astra 6400 scanner because of its Firewire connection, and because of a very favorable CNet review. My opinion of CNet has gone down considerably, because I think they failed to appreciate the true nature of what Umax did with this...
Firewire connection ; Decent scanning quality
Just as slow as USB scanners ; Rudimentary software/drivers

IEEE1394 connectivity, not only for the scanner. N.B. NOT only for the MAC!
Button assignments don't always work, feels & looks flimsy

If you are looking for excellent quality results from a scanner, this one is not for you. For a "home use" scanning where superb results are not the aim, then by all means this scanner is ideal.
