Did you try xcam, also with scanimage you need to give some options
like 
scanimage -B -d stv680:libusb:001:002 --batch=out.ppm --batch-count 5
--mode "Color RGB"

For the v4l backend it will be different

with --mode "Color RGB" you select the size of the image,
check with scanimage -d v4l -h your -mode options.
