Epson V700 Scanners

What photo scanner do you like?
I'm looking for something that does a high-quality scan so I can digitize all my pictures from before I got my digital camera (we're talking boxes of pictures here).
I have a basic document Dell scanner, but it does not do high enough resolution for printing copies that I'd be willing to hang on my walls.
Suggestions?
I've been considering between a Epson Perfection V700 and a HP Scanjet G4050, but would like to know of any other reliable photo scanners. I also do not want to spend much more than $200.
TIA!
Epson makes the best scanners, i hate the labor involved scanning a bunch of photos.

spits up your photo over many pages so you can print huge wall hangings from a standard printer
Scanning Wet-Plate Collodion Ambrotype or Tintype Plate
