The small Canons work very well. My wife is too impatient to scan things so I lay the documents on the floor, stabilize the camera on the edge of the desk and shoot. If needed, I clean them up in Photoshop.

BTW, more pixels is not always better. The more they crowd onto a small sensor, the more leakage between pixels. Not too much of an issue if you like to keep prints small. For the same sensor size, less pixels is better, especially if you want to shoot in low light.

For example, on the large SLR cameras, there are less pixel yet the pixels themselves are large and produce a better image with little/no blooming between the pixel site on the sensor. I still keep an old Canon D30 3.2 mp for travel and the pictures are superb.

Still got my Minox too.
