DPI resolution is one of several factors that can impact image quality. Other considerations include color depth, which is the the number of bits captured per pixel, and interpolated resolution, which is the ability of a scanner to fill in the blank space between pixels.
Other Considerations

Other considerations for a scanner, beyond image quality, are scanner speed and supported media size. Media size simply means the size of the scanner's screen. It also is a good idea to look at the software that comes with the scanner as the software often can expand or enhance the scanner's functions.

Reviews
-
As with any product, it is a good idea to read reviews. Beyond professional technical reviews of scanners, potential buyers should also read scanner reviews. Some retailers allow consumer product reviews and many online bulletin boards will have reviews and commentaries as well. Consumer reviews can provide an idea not only of people's feelings about scanners but any technical problems they may be experiencing.
