 Great scanner for generic everyday jobs |

I needed a scanner to scan an occasional document, receipt, or magazine page. Image quality needed to be decent and other than that I wanted a device that just did the job and didn't need a lot of hand-holding.
So far I'm satisfied to impressed. Take it out of the box, plug in the USB cable (big plus it doesn't add yet another power adapter to my setup), Windows Vista automatically detects and installs the driver and you're ready to go. I didn't even look at the software CD which comes with the scanner for the first week. The OS integrated driver is sufficient for the generic scans.
It's nice and small and lightweight, has a small locking slider for the lid on the bottom. So when I'm not scanning I simply unplug the USB port and it's easily stored on the shelf and not taking up valuable space.
The scan speed and image quality is good enough for my needs. I'm sure some folks may have a more detailed critique, but that wasn't what I'm looking for.
After eventually installing the software that came with it, the copy button on the front works fine. Push it and the software will scan and then send the result to the printer. Not a high volume copying solution, but if one makes a copy at home once in a blue moon and hates the trip to Kinko's this fits in well.
So if you're looking for a simple and reasonably priced scanning solution for occasional work, this is a great choice. |
Works Great and 4 at a time is AWESOME!

I bought this with the intention of scanning old photos to jpg files. It works great! The software is just ok. But the greatest feature is that you can scan four pictures at once. It makes projects like mine a breeze. I can also see myself using this for other things.
Great product at a great price! |
Excellent photo scanner!

| I got this scanner as a gift to scan old photos. It is fantastic for scanning old photos. Simply drop the 4 photos on the glass (no need to line them up, get them straight, etc.). Push a button, and the scanner scans the photos, straightens them up and separates them. I don't use the editing software so I can't comment on that, but this is a great scanner for a Mac user. |
Fantabulous!

If you read my other reviews you will notice that I am not easily pleased but where can I start with this scanner. I bought my first and only scanner some 10 yrs ago. It had to be run through the printer for installation. Never got it to work at all. This time, this scanner was a breeze to install (running Vista Ultimate 64 bit). Just install drivers, plug into USB and go. Went directly to Canon and found 64 bit driver upgrade for my OS. I have scanned maybe 100 pics and they all scanned to my PC beautifully. Some pics are as much as 60 yrs old and the detail in the scan is better than the original photo. I do not know what people look for in software so don't know really why some complain of software package. It seems more than sufficient to meet my needs, but then I don't rely on it much.
I also scanned the bottom of two laptop batteries before sending the replacement back to the seller, to show where the problem was with theirs. Scanned with sufficient detail to print and mark the difference and include in my return package. I love the Z lid that allows for scanning bulkier items like that. I give it 6, 7, 8, 9, oh well, 10 out of 10 and easily 5 stars at a great price. |

I originally bought this to scan documents and receipts. It was incredibly easy to set up and worked quite well even on small receipts. I was happy with it.
Then, a friend of mine had some very old photos she wanted put on a digital frame. I decided this would be a great test of the Canon Scanner. I went from happy to amazed. I was able to scan 3 - 4 photos at a time - she had over 100 of them. It didn't take as long as I anticipated and the quality was quite good. I couldn't correct defects in the original photo - even with Photoshop - but if the original was in pretty good condition - the scanned image looked good. In some cases the picture was improved, but it was never worse than the original.
The scanning speed surprises me the most and the quality runs a close second.
A great scanner for the price and I highly recommend it. |
