I'd like to spend no more than $600 if possible. The main function of the scanner would be to archive family photos (prints) and documents on rare occasions. Slides are not a concern for the time being as I understand you're better off with a scanner devoted to that purpose. Thanks!

$600 seems 10 times too much unless you are into large high quality pictures. I use an Epson Perfection 3490 Photo page scanner that also has options to scan 35mm negatives and slides. Unlike an earlier scanner, it can scan a few photos at the same time into separate images. It was also quite amazing in correcting tinted photos. In most cases, for the 4000+ photos I scanned, I used the negative stips as many photos were in the wrong envelope.

Most brand name scanners will do what you want. The trick is to find one with "easy to use" software.
Canon gets my vote on that. I have a CanoScan LiDe 20 that is a joy to use.
