I bought this product for my wife to replace an old scanner. The pre-scan time is lightning fast. The quality of the scans are HUGE and clean. We have started to scan some negatives and they are some what slower but the quality is better then any picture can scan in. It is the best scanner I have seen on the market and I would recommend it to anyone. Also it comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4. That software runs for $99 by it's self. This scanner is well worth the money.

Easy to use, good resolution and color. Best feature is the auto-crop, especially when you are scanning several pictures - saves a lot of time. I don't use the photo editing software that came with it, so I can't comment on that. Great buy.

I bought my LIDE35 at Fry's Electronics for under $40. I needed a scanner in a hurry since my last Paperport had died. The LIDE35 installed and worked with no problems. The quality of my first scan was much better than any done with the Paperport.I bought this unit because it was cheap and small. It is compact enough to travel with a laptop. USB power means you don't have the weight, mess, and need for an outlet that a wallwart powered scanner has. This is a big plus if you are traveling. Computer bags seem to grow in size and weight when you are running across Ohare airport tryin to catch a plane on the other side of the terminal. Wallwarts require power strips and make a mess in hotel rooms.The LIDE technology looks good to me. I have had 4 previous scanners. They all died because the CCFT lamp went South after a year of moderate use. LEDs should last much longer. I found the color quality and balance of LIDE better than the CCFT scanners I had used. It is really nice to be rid of the lamp warmup warnings and delays.Buttons on the front are more of a problem than a feature for me. I ususally operate scanners through the scanner control software, and edit with photoshop. Accidentally hitting a button wastes more time than using it for it's intended purpose ever saved. I would actually pay a few bucks more to have a scanner that did't have buttons.Other things that would improve the LIDE35 are:Make it even thinner and lighter.A lighter thinner USB connection cable. Several aftermarket cables are more compact.Over all I feel this was a bargain. It works better than any other scanner I've had and will probably last longer since there is no CFFT. Canon did a good job on the LIDE 35.

This little scanner works well enough for the price. The only gripe I have is that at first I couldn't get it to work until a techno-person asked if I had turned the switch on the bottom from "lock" to "unlock". What switch? I asked. Oh, it's there, all right, but nowhere in the instructions could I find reference to a lock/unlock switch; and if the reference IS there, it's certainly well-hidden.Now maybe people who have grown up with computers know enough to look for such things...but believe it or not, some of us are over thirty! So, this little gizmo gets only four stars...and I think I'm being generous at that.Hint to instruction-writing geeks the world over: DON'T ASSUME THAT "EVERYONE KNOWS 'THAT'"! Not all of us do.

The scanner does the job I need it to do. The pictures turn out nice. The only drawback is the software program to make pictures better is not that great. Otherwise, for the price, good purchase.

Product was as advertised. Pretty quick on scanning and easy editing software to master. No problem on installation, either hardware or software. I had it up and running in about 10 minutes. I used this machine to duplicate old family photos. I prefer to use Photoshop for final editing, however, but that's just me. I am a Mac user.

I bought this scanner to scan in about 150 old black and white family photos, and they all came out very nicely. I scanned only a handful of color pictures, and they were fine as well.Some experiences I had using the scanner:- smaller pictures end up getting a better final resolution- the quality is great for pictures, but only average for text; for example newspaper articles don't scan well enough to allow you to read smaller text- I was able to scan aout 30 pictures in an hour- scanning multiple photos is usually easy: you don't have to crop a big image into the individual photos because the scanning software figures out the picture boundaries. However, occasionally the picture boundary detection stuff messes up and the scanner detects 1 fewer picture than was in the scanner, forcing you to rescanFor some old polaroids, the scanned picture was clearer and brighter than the polaroid. it brought out the picture inan amazing way.

I have been buying Canon products lately -- camera, printer, photo paper, and now this printer. Canon has yet to let me down. I'm amazed at the scan quality this scanner produces! I bought it simply so I could share wedding book and magazine photos with my mother who lives several hundred miles away, but I think I'm going to be preserving my old 35mm shots using the CanoScan LiDE 25. The price was excellent, installation was a breeze, power is supplied via the USB cable, and the software is incredibly user-friendly. I have yet to look at a manual and I'm already scanning images beautifully! It does take a while (45 seconds to a minute, give or take a few seconds) for things to scan. If you're on a deadline, this may not be the right equipment for the job. For day-to-day home use, this scanner can't be beat! Also, kudos to Amazon.com and UPS, from whom I always receive stellar service! My scanner was shipped and received in practically no time at all! I think it was a two business day turn-around from order to receipt, and with FREE SHIPPING!

The Canon 5000F scanner provides high quality scans at a reasonable price. Being a professional photographer and newspaper cartoonist for 15 years, I've worked with numerous scanner models ranging from HP and Epson to even Microtek units. Yet, for the price, Canon outperforms them all with a "print-perfect" optical resolution of 2400x4800 dpi. I mostly use the scanner for digitalizing my artwork at a resolution of 1200dpi at an output scale of 100%. The scans appear crisp and clear with well-defined gray tones and contrast levels. Given the ease of the scanning software, it's simple to make a slight adjustment during the pre-scan to change the contrast and brightness to fit your needs. Also, the Canon 5000F is a well-built unit. All low-priced scanners consist of a plastic body for weight purposes, however, the Canon 5000F employs a solid and sturdy drive unit to guide the movement of the lamp carriage.I previously bought the HP Scanjet 3970 because of its attractive price, but I also quickly discover its cheap construction, worthless 3-month warranty and its loose connections. Thankfully, I was able to return it for a refund.At work, I used an Epson 2400 scanner, a comparable unit, that fell apart from the hinges inward. The Epson 2400 could not reproduce the color of photographs as naturally as the Canon 5000F. When scanning grayscale images, the Epson 2400 also could not detect gray tones as well as the Canon unit. The Canon 5000F wonderfully reproduces the color of photographs and slides when I scan images to be posted on the web. However, for scanning negatives or slides, I use a film scanner to achieve the best results. When scanning negatives on a flatbed scanner, the machine must scan the images at a higher resolution than you intend to print. For example, scanning at 2400dpi will magnify the negative image and allow for decent printing at 600-1200dpi. For beginners or professionals, the Canon 5000F provides excellent results at a reasonable price. There's very little difference in scanning speeds when a person scans an image at high resolutions, because we're talking about an image file 40MB or bigger. I haven't seen where the flimsy HP or Epson models scanned any faster than the Canon models. After all, if you want quality, be patient. It might take 1-2 minutes for a 2400dpi scan of a picture, but you should be pleased with the results.For the best color reproduction, clarity and construction, I highly recommend the Canon 5000F.Note: The Canon LiDE series of slim scanners also provide decent results, but they use a different method of scanning than the Canon 5000F in order to make the scanner 1.5 inches tall. The Canon LiDE series use LEDs for the light source and a contact image sensor (CIS) to capture the scanned image. This system, given the material you're scanning, might not provide you with the color tones you're seeking in order to print large photographs. Instead, the Canon 5000F uses the traditional cold cathode lamp as the light source and a CCD as the scanner element which still provides the best color and grayscale reproduction. Enjoy!

Unfortunately, this scanner did not work. I got a continual error message of "twain error", which Canon support could not fix. Therefore, I'm out my $50. All I was shooting for was to scan in some old family pictures; then I wouldn't even need it any more. Everything else on my computer always works perfectly. I'll find another way.

This was a nice scanner until it died. It did a decent job scanning color print photos once I got the right settings. Unfortunately, it stopped working exactly one year after I purchased it. This was on a Sunday, no telephone tech support from Canon on Sundays. I called them the next day and spent almost an hour on the phone to confirm the scanner was dead. Then I was told that I was one day out of warranty, tough luck, thank you for purchasing Canon products. They would not budge at all. For this scanner, Canon gets 2 stars: 4 for actual performance, 3 for the driver software, and zero stars for durability and customer service. Hopefully Epson will be better.

You already have a printer, you have the fax machine, you just need a scanner. Of course there are these new all in one packages you can buy these days but they are costly and bulky.Here you have a simple flat bed scanner that is affordable, and has the features to copy, scan, email, even edit what you scan as well. It's powered through the USB cable so no need to worry about plugs. The scans come out great and so do the copies. The speed couldn't be any faster which is of course a plus. The scanner fits nicely just about anywhere, or can be easily stored if not used frequently.Total quality, and a great buy especially for the price as well. Worth picking up.

I originally bought it just for the software [Adobe Photoelements 2.0].I have seen usb bus complaints by windows XP when I plugged in non-powered hub with my jumpdrive trio, so I didn't think XP and/or the PC itself, provided very much usb power. But this little scanner does just fine with it's only power source being the usb bus.The software install was one of the most informative I've ever done. It lets you know where you are at in the process.It starts out saying that there are like 8 programs left to install, and then the countdown just keeps going, automatically.You don't have to go hunting for the install buttons for each and every single program. It's setup to auto install things one after another.You simply say Yes or No, to each program and/or component.Scanner operation is smooth and quiet. It's hard to get used to NOT hearing the scan head movements.So far, so good.Two thumbs up !

The last scanner I bought was in 1997. Boy has technology evolved! Back then I had to pre-scan, adjust scan area, scan, and then save. Now all that process has been eliminated by a push of a button! One touch and this scanner scans, auto-crops, and saves automatically! This scanner can detect what part of the flatbed your photo is located, so it only scans that area and saves the photo without having to specify scan area. Neat! Plus this scanner is so thin and small! I am impressed.

Unpacked this great scanner out of the box and had it working in minutes. It is incredibly slim (about 1.5 inches) and light, but one of the great benefits is that it takes power from the USB port and does not require an external power source. Instead of having a large lamp on board the scanner uses LEDs as the light source. Not only does this reduce the power consumption, but my guess is that they will last longer than normal bulbs. (Disclaimer here...the reason we bought the Canon was that the HP bulb burned out and the cost of replacement was prohibitive).The software that comes with the scanner is easy to use in basic mode, but gives a number of options at advanced mode that are extremely useful under certain conditions.The programmable buttons work well, with one minor annoyance, that being that to press the button sometimes the scanner slides backwards on the desk. This seems to be due to the strength needed to depress the buttons overcoming the friction of the light scanner on the desk.Scans are excellent. The scanner is fast and accurate. We have used it for generating content for the web, for copying documents and for general document acquisition. I am very pleased with the way the scanner automatically will detect the outline of the documents and make multiple documents scanned at once accurately available as single digital images.All in all I am very impressed with this unit, with the build quality, and with the output.

Be warned - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCTUnfortunately I can not give this a Zero Star. When purchased new the scanner was faulty, and exhibited poor quality control with particles inside the scanner. It was returned for repair under warranty twice, and finally the main curcuit board was replaced.I was present when the unit was being reassembled after the replacment of the board and was horrified to see the service tech use metholated spirits to clean the underside of the class as the owners manual clearly states not to do this !!!(it has his grubby finger prints all over it from the repair work).Despite spending several thousand dollars on Canon products over the years, I will not be buying another Canon product.Poor quality control and customer services can only be rewarded in this manner.

First. I don't know what the previous reviewer's problem was BUT this scanner works great with Windows XP. I had no difficulty at all with installation.The Canon LiDE 35 is a very compact scanner powered off of the USB port. For my needs it does excellent quality scans including photos though I use it mostly for documents. It also is much faster than my old Visioneer Paperport. The four front panel buttons make it very easy to make a copy to a printer or archive a document by simply push the button and you are done. To save disk space it can save files to Adobe PDF format which most users can take advantage of with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.The Toolbox makes it easy to configure the various scan operations. The included software is great. For image editing it includes ArcSoft Photo Studio 5.5. I like it because it is very easy to crop an image and then resize. Of course it can do a lot more, but those are the two most important features that I use. For OCR it includes OmniPage SE2.0. I have not used it too much but what I like is that I can scan a document and save it to a .bmp file. Then if I right click the .bmp file and select " convert to OmniPage SE2.0 " it opens the program an starts to convert the file to a text document. It works VERY well and is fast. It usually asks a few questions about the conversion and then I can save to a Word file. This is a great feature to convert old documents into Word files so that they can be edited from there.For the money you can't go wrong buying a Canon LiDE 35 with the performance, small footprint, features, and included software.

While waiting for a good page scanner, I bought the LiDE 35 to use in scanning my receipts for expense reports and client documents. The cover of my scanner is dented and the TSA has mis-packed it a dozen times causing me to worry that it would be damaged but each time I've unlocked it, plugged it into my USB port and begun scanning. I've been very pleased with this scanner and on occasion when I scan photos find that it does a beautiful job there too. I'm impressed with this scanner.

I was always told that HP scanners were the best. So for the post 13 years I have purchased nothing but HP scanners for my Macintoshes. Maybe 10 in all. I have always battled multitudes of incompatibiltity issues, poor performance, and very combersome scanning applications.Frustrated I purched the LiDE 35. This is how a scanner should work. The interfaces with Adobe software (and any other software) is exterely elegant, and the scans are great. Canon software is extremly flexible, so workflow is greatly increased. I coiuld not be more impressed. Thanks, Cannon for an excellent, Mac freindly, product.

M. Urbarger is right! I've been struggling with this for a long time and I finally found the answer! Canon USA is useless for this. Shame on them! Here are the instructions. It's only three steps:Step 1. Remove the 2710 driver from your computer. Start/control panel/add or remove Programs/Canocraft FS.Step 2. Download and install this key program from Adaptec(...)This is an exe file that unzips a bunch of files into a folder. You then hit Start/Run/ and browse for the file "aspiinst.exe". After it's done, re-boot.Step 3. Re-install canocraft software.And it Works! Once again, shame on Canon for not supporting this easy fix.

Since the scanner fits nicely into my laptop bag and requires no separate power supply other than the USB cable, I have have no problems aquiring resources for research. I too had some minor problems with the twain driver, the solution was to install all of the software allowing the Canon twain to interface with the Adobe programs.An excellent buy and an awesome portability solution for students in the library.

I purchased this scanner for the purpose of scanning old B&W negatives (film size A116), color 35mm slides, and large format (Hasselblad) color negatives and slides...in addition to B&W and color photo scans and the occasional text scan.I found the directions well written and the scanner and software easy to install on my computer. The test scan I took came out as beautiful as the original. Then, I randomly selected one of the B&W negatives for scanning...the picture that looked back at me took my breath away!!! It was taken 70+ years ago (and has been crammed into a metal matchbox for about the same number of years), and it was absolutely stunning...yes, this scanner was everything I had hoped it would be.Then, I attempted to save this scan...and the problems began. It seemed that both of the softwares included were not happy with my computer set-up. I settled on using Photoshop Elements 2.0, because I was more familiar with it. I would load the software, do a preview (which brought up a large thumbnail), then do a final scan. After the final scan, I received an error message that said it could not perform that function. I then performed the scan a second time, and everthing was fine. I could then save the picture. However, if I tried to scan a second negative, the software locked up, forcing me to go into Task Manager applications and end the task. I discovered that if I closed Photoshop Elements after each saved scan, then restarted it, things worked okay. For me, this was NOT acceptable! My plan was to contact Canon tech support the following week...Since this was a Friday, I decided I should take a second look at Canon's system requirements for the 9900F, since this had all of the earmarks of a memory (RAM) issue. I was running a Windows XP Pro (upgraded from Windows 98Me), a 1.4GHZ processor, 256MB of RAM...the minimum that Canon recommended for Windows XP (w/USB 2.0) is 566 MHz and 128 MB RAM! Hmmmmm... I figured that boosting the RAM would help, but the cost of the type of RAM I had was kind of high, so my son talked me into upgrading the entire system (new 2.4 GHz processor, new motherboard, and 1024 MB of RAM, and a fresh install of Windows XP). Well, now it works PERFECTLY...no problems.I had heard prior to purchase there were software issues with the Canon 9900F, but I have been very happy with other Canon products I own, so I went for it! Maybe I was in need of an upgrade anyway...HOWEVER, I do believe that Canon's system requirements were way off with regard to the RAM required to use the scanner and effectively operate the software. I might have knocked half a star off for this, but I don't believe these shortcomings should reflect poorly on what is otherwise an OUTSTANDING scanner.

I purchased this scanner specifically for the task of digitizing a box of old, disintergrating/fading old family photos, almost all being Black&White. I tried a few photos at a local copy place, but the $18 per hour (plus $10 CD burning fee) quickly convinced me that I could purchase a scanner for a lot less than what it would cost to scan the photos on an hourly fee basis.With a few dozen exceptions, this scanner was able to satisfactorily scan my old photos. Even though this scanner has a number of limitations, I gave the scanner the top rating because it did perform as described/intended and is a good value for the dollar. I would buy this unit again. The ease of hardware and software installation was a pleasant surprise, and are easy to use. Even the included OCR software suprised me with the quality and accuracy of the resulting Word or PDF documents; it even could, with a little tweaking, scan and convert tabular information. (This is an added, unexpected benefit, as I have a 200+ page document, mostly tables, that I have always intended to convert to PDF format but postponed the task due to the emense retyping involved.)I have always disliked the "Stars" and "Best Buy" rating systems as I have been 'bitten' several times when I bought some highly rated products. No product is perfect; all have things that it can do well, and some things it can't do well (or at all). If you are unfortunate enough to buy a top rated product that can't do the one thing that you need it to do, top rated or not, you have wasted your money. [It is interesting to note that many 'impartial reviews' tend to rave about a product's good points and 'gloss over' deficiencies.]So, you should be aware of what this scanner could NOT do for me:.It does not scan transparencies (I had one 4 X 6).It has a VERY limited depth of focus: things not in intimate contact with the scan plate WILL be out of focus (a dozen or so photos mounted on stiff, warped backings could not be satisfactorily scanned, even with a phone book on the scanner cover).The scan plate is recessed making scans of oversized items impossible: the item is not in contact with the glass and thus out of focus (I had a couple of oversized photos and a few 8 X 10 photos permanently mounted on an oversized backing/frame that could not be scanned satisfactorily)Also, the unit is a bit 'flimsy' (dropped my mechanical pencil on the cover and it left a 'door dingy') and the cover not heavy enough to flatten the folds even in standard paper to maintain full scan plate contact without assistance (phonebook).

I mostly use this for scanning documents and its definitely fantastic for that application. Very fast, reliable, and compact. I can get a good quality grayscale scan in less than 10 seconds. The fact that its powered off the USB port is extremely convenient (ended up returning a scanner and replacing it with this because of this feature). I'd highly recommend this.Cannot comment on photo scanning as I haven't done this yet (use a digital camera anyway).

I own several Canon's flat bed scanners for many years and are happy with Canon's products.First, Canon's scanners are designed as compact, portable, easy to install and use.Second, Canon's scanners are designed with USB powered, that means low power consumption, and most important there is no additional power adaptor required!Third, Low operating noise. LiDE 35 has lower noise than the LiDE 20/30.We use scanner for documentation very often (use B&W mode and 300/400 dpi). Here are some testing results for CanoScan LiDE 35 (mechanical comparison only):1. B&W scan, 300 dpi: 10 second scan, 10 second return (LiDE 20: 20 second scan, 15 second return)2. B&W scan, 400 dpi: 20 second scan, 10 second return (LiDE 20: 40 second scan, 15 second return).Therefore LiDE 35 save about 40% scan time compared with LiDE 20.

This is not as fast as other scanners I have used, but overall it is easy to use. The scanning process is slow, but this is maybe only an issue if you need to scan several documents as quickly as possible. Otherwise the scanning speed isn't a hinderance to any casual user.The included software is powerful (includes Optical Character Recognition software so you can scan printed documents and convert them to a text file). Buttons on the scanner allow for easy access to commonly used functions, such as emailing photos, storing images to a file, or editing photos in your favorite image editing program.The power over USB is also nice for people with fully occupied power strips. There's only one cord to fuss with.Additionally, the thin profile of this scanner makes it easy to store on a shelf when it's not in use.

Not happy with the drivers for this scanner. I bought this scanner in March 2003, and the CD-ROM that came with it included non-current drivers that were not Windows XP certified. The manual told me to install these uncertified drivers over the strongly-worded warning from the operating system not to do so. Within minutes of installing the drivers on my new (<1 month old) computer, the operating system experienced three crashes. I removed the drivers, downloaded the new but still uncertified version of the drivers from Canon's website, installed the new version, and used Norton Utilities to repair the damage from the first installation. Even after all this, the drivers are still flaky. From time to time the driver will return a general error saying that it could not communicate with the scanner. To correct this, I have to unplug the scanner and plug it back in (because there is no on/off or reset switch).When this problem is not manifesting itself, scanning pictures/prints works fine. Good color and brightness accuracy. The multiple-image scan feature, which allows you to place several pictures on the bed at once and scan them all simultaneously into separate files, is very useful. Scan times for prints is very fast: about 15 seconds total for three prints laid out on the bed. My only wish is that the scan driver should automatically cure mildly skewed pictures because it is extremely hard to place multiple photos on the bed with zero degree accuracy. Unfortunately, it doesn't do this.Scanning photographic negatives is totally different. Scan time is extremely long: about 10 minutes per three negatives at 600 dpi resolution. Also, the software is very unpredictable as to how it determines where one negative ends and the other begins. Often enough to be annoying, the scanner incorrectly sizes the negatives, requiring extensive manual intervention to override it. I have sometimes been forced to do a lot of manual jiggering with the negatives, including using opaque masks over some negatives to make it easier for the software to "automatically" detect where they begin and end. This feature is so twitchy that I sometimes just press the "preview" button twice and get differently-sized images.Image quality of scanned negatives is variable: sometimes it is very good indeed. Other times it tends to produce an overexposed image with colors bled out, requiring more manual intervention. Scans from negatives also tend to emphasize problems with the source material that may not have been obvious in the prints made from the same negatives. E.g., In pictures with a fairly flat-field of color in the background (such as lots of sky/water), there is a noticeable tunnel-vision effect which appears to have been caused by the point and shoot 35mm camera which took the photos. This was barely noticeable in the professionally-made prints, but quite apparent in the scan, requiring still more manual intervention to correct.In short, this scanner certainly does a lot of things, some of them very well. But it nowhere near as stable in operation as I would have expected, and it is by no means fast or reliable enough to easily use it for anything like a large volume of slides or negatives.

I first pick this scanner because it was nice and compact looking, with an eye catching silver slim design. It had USB 2 and good resolution, but like most scanners doesn't have too many other features. It ran fine on my PIV XP laptop with 512mb, the driver and software install perfectly on the first try. People, who say they have software issues, should reformat their machine, because there are some software or memory conflicts from human error. Usually people install thing and erase system files improperly or accidentally.Performances:Scanning images on this machine is fast and the scans look great. Its actual scanning perform is a lot better then the machine that replaced it. The HP 6110 all-in-one scanned a lot slower and produced very grainy images. Canon's scans were much smoother quality.Bad bulb that went lights out:I like everything in this little scanner, but Canon cut corner on two major issues. The first, which was the reason I had to return it, is: there is no ON/OFF switch. The scanner power up through the USB cable when the computer turns on. Sometime I leave my laptop on for whole day, which also leaves the scanner on for a whole day: this is how I figured the light bulb died within the first month. At first, I unplugged the USB cable, but over time you forget or get careless. Maybe there is a setting to control this, but it was too late. Canon cut corner on the ON/OFF switch simply to save money. The other smaller problem, but annoying feature is the driver software doesn't let you customize scanning sizes. After using a HP for years, I would like to pick my own scan size, sometime like 72dpi or 350dpi. Canon preset dpi in increment of 100s is annoying.The return to the storeGood thing the bulb died on the 28th day so I got to return and exchange for a more feature HP 6110, but with lesser performance rating. I stayed away from Canon's cool but cheaply constructed design, until the overly impressive Canon's I960 photo printer changed my mind.

I recently purchased this item with a rebate offer so I got a great price on it. As far as the quality, I would say it is pretty average but great for the price paid. I am able to use it and scan at upto 1200 dpi(dots per inch) resolution as it says. My computer doesn't freeze up or anything. Those of you using Photoshop, it works great with Photoshop no problems. I was able to use the "Import" function from Adobe Photoshop file menu with out any problems. May be the other reveiwer just didn't have much luck with it. I am satisfied and would recommend this scanner for regular scans.

I bought this unit to scan old b/w negatives & pictures. I had to increase my RAM from 128M to 512M and upgrade my USB to 2.0. Once I did that, things worked better. However, I still couldn't save a bmp file directly without it crashing. After speaking with Canon tech support--which was far more helpful on the scanner side of the house than their copier side--I found that the ArcSoft software had some issues. I began to use the included Adobe Photoshop Elements program exclusively and, what a difference! The truly extraordinary ability of this program to take a faded, discolored photo and, via auto color correction, restore it to vibrant, rich colors is astonishing! Even b/w pictures can be easily enhanced with the auto contrast feature. Have been able to scan old box camera negatives (120, 620, 116 & 616 formats) using the carrier, to my great delight. One caveat, the large format carrier for negatives is not as robust as the 35mm negative carrier. My normal scans of positives is at 400 or 800 dpi. It's impressive that a photo the size of a quarter can be effectively enlarged with great integrity. I have pulled out subtle details in photos that had escaped my notice even with the aid of a conventional magnifying glass. If you scan your photos at a minimum of 400 dpi you'll be amazed at how much they can be enlarged with little to no visible pixelation. I haven't tried batch scanning. None of my local retailers carried this unit. As one explained to me, the general buying public tends to go for the cheapest, low resolution scanners. Am so glad I went for this more powerful, utilitarian unit. Its versatility to work with negatives from 35mm to large format 4x5, as well as 35mm slides, and photos or documents makes it a great choice. The Canon program Scangear is easy to use and even a novice can quickly master it in short order.

Well after accidently dropping and smashing my previous Canoscan 1240U which I was completely happy with, EXCEPT for the speed. Superb image quality, but painfully slow, I looked at the canon site to checkout the new range.I considered 3 canoscans, the Lide20/30 and 50.I selected the 50 primarily because it was USB2 and more than twice the speed ofmy old scanner (the 1240U's are renovned for slow scans).Unfortunately this scanner just doesnt live up to any of the hype or my expectations. I did expect the image quality to be as good as the lide 20 or 30.The images as other people have also said are grainy and drilling down on a 600 or 1200dpi scan easily shows this. I am very dissapointed with the image quality.The dust button must be enabled otherwise dust imperfections are shocking.The speed is certainly faster especially on preview. But on some scans depending on what you are scanning at etc its not alot faster than my old scanner. I get thefeeling that this scanner is geared around the 300dpi, as some scans other than300dpi eg: 150 take an unexplainable long time.The updates of the scan software are nice, but not alot better in my view.I did end up having to uninstall all of my older Canoscan software to be surethat there wasnt some wierd software issue causing the poor quality.If I had to choose again, I think i would again suffer the slow speed of the Lide 30 (updated 1240U) and choose it even the lide 20 is better quality than the 50.Having said all this even though the scanner is usb2 capable i have it plugged into a usb1 only port, but this shouldnt make any difference.

After getting burned on the worst scanner ever, the HP 3970- I should have looked at the negative reviews on that before I purchased it (I've now resold it on Ebay at a $20 loss), I bought this Great, Wonderful, Scanner based on reviews I had read online.This is truly a marvel, software downloads fast and easy and it scans really well (I use "magazine color" for the best picture quality on the scanner). I totally recommend this to anyone as it produces quality scans, is fast & is easy to use.

I purchased the CanoScan Lide 30 scanner from Amazon about six months ago so I have enough usage history to have an opinion and I find it to be an adequate scanner for the price. The features I like best are the USB connectivity and the size. The USB cable also powers the scanner and reduces clutter by not having a separate 12volt transformer. The scanner is quite thin (a little more an inch) and compact and can be easily carried in a briefbag for those, as myself, that require portability. I have never used the small stand that allows the scanner to be positioned sideways. The optical resolution of 1200 dpi is generally adequate for me and I would guess would be the same for the average consumer user.The color rendition is passable. The scanner speed is slow but I knew that when I purchased the unit. The most objectionable feature I have found is the scanner produces longitudinal alternating streaks of light and dark that are visible when a photo is zoomed to close range that gives an appearance that could be compared to corduroy fabric. Prior to using the CanoScan Lide 30, I used a HP v40xi, 4 in 1, printer, scanner, copier and fax and the streaks are not seen in these photos. I believe the streaks are probably caused by the LED light source and the LED technology is what allows the scanner to be so diminutive.Since buying the scanner, I have become active in the restoration of old photographs with PhotoShop 7.0 and at times I wish for a higher end scanner and will probably buy another scanner down the road. Even if I owned a second, higher end scanner, I could still find times that I would use the CanoScan Lide 30 for it size and portability and I rate it as a good value for the price.

Last year, after extensive research, I purchased an Epson Perfection 2400 (Photo scanner) for my brother and was dead set on buying one for myself. At that time, there was no other scanner that had its quality and features at a bargain price. Well, I finally decided to buy a scanner and surprise, surprise...it's the Canon FIDE 30.Here's four reasons why:Quality of scan: I think the quality of scan should always be the primary factor in evaluating a scanner. This scanner produces scans equal to those of first-rate "professional" grade scanners like the Minolta Powerlook III (which I have at work). The scanner goes up to 1200 X 2400 dpi resolution and the results are stunning. Price: $70 (about $120 less than the Epson Perfection)Design: The small form-factor metallic body casing is durable and eye-catching. The small footprint is ideal for notebook users who like portability. Power is supplied through the USB connection so you have one less cord to worry about. The three buttons on the scanner for scan, copy, and email functions are a nice bonus (but not really needed).Software: The Canon scan control software is simple and intuitive. The OCR text recognition is excellent.Now for a scanner at this price, I shouldn't be nit-picking but I will anyways for those who need to find faults in a product:1. The scan speed as other reviewers mentioned is relatively slow. So if you plan on scanning a large number of photos or documents in one sitting, it could get a little frustrating. But if you want quality WITH speed you really should be looking to a "professional" grade scanner (and get ready to spend some bucks). Even then, the speed difference would be seconds and not minutes. 2. The small footprint is great for portibility but for some people it may make the scanner seem flimsy because it is so thin and light.3. XP users: DO NOT install the software on the cd that comes with the scanner. Go to the website and download the updated versions.Well that about sums it up. To get a scanner like this for $70 is an outright steal.

Executive summary: the scanner has good and bad points.The immediate problem is that the drivers available as of 9/2003 do not support Apple's new USB2.0-based Macs (G5, new iMac). Canon acknowledges the problem and says they're working on new drivers, but no promise on when they'll be delivered. Another, less obvious downside is that the current generation driver leaves a background process running whether or not the scanner is plugged in, which process prevents the computer from going into "sleep mode" on its own (OSX 10.2). Also, I noticed that when I linked the scan button to PS Elements, it started Elements in classic mode (solution: link to files Preview, or scan from within Elements). Again, as others have noticed, it can be slow and noisy. I do believe that when it works with USB2.0 Macs, it will be faster; currently, some scans finish (in the scanner) while data remains to be transferred to the host. Lastly, the OCR software still runs only in classic mode.So, what are the good points? For one, price. For another, its form factor, including the fact that it's USB-bus powered (even with a PowerBook) -- no wall wart or line lump required. With the driver installed, you don't have to start the "Canon toolbox" program to use the keys on the front of the scanner, and once you've configured the software, there's no delay to click buttons on-screen to make the scanner scan (for example, to copy). Four buttons are nice, too. Less obviously, its origin for scanning is at the front left of the scanner, rather than the back; if you need to scan a bunch of cards or 4x6 photos, it's more ergonomic. I haven't tried the "Z-fold" lid trick yet with books. I haven't used it enough to judge its quality with color photos, but scanning index cards in black&white or grayscale, or using it as a black&white copier, it seems fine.I think the scanner is a keeper, but then, my requirements are for a simple flat-bed scanner, and not for a graphics powerhouse model. If it were working with my USB2.0 iMac today, I'd rate it a star higher.

Picked up the Canon ScanoJet 5500F from a local store and started scanning medical school applications. I hoped to fill out these converted applications later using Microsoft Word. So this review is focused primarily on the OCR and text scanning capability of this scanner.Image Quality - 5/5 stars:The 5000F scans are very detailed and clear. If the document is to be a copy for archving in JPEG or BMP format, the scan quality is more than sufficient.Speed - 3/5 stars:Scanning a typical letter size document took about 90 seconds at 300 DPI. This is acceptable but not as fast as the comparably priced HP Scanjet 5400.Software 2/5 stars:The OCR wizard is overtly complex, with at least 6-10 menu steps to scan, recognize, translate, and save one page of document. While the scan took about 90 seconds, the whole process took approximately 5 minutes - the output result was not nearly as clean as an automatic graphic scan, then manual OCR conversion.OCR 1.5/5 stars:The bundled character recognition software Omnipage SE performs poorly on both text pages and forms. The software has a tendency to add non-existent punctuations, misform letters, and misalign paragraphs and texts. When scanning an inkjet document, the error grows exponentially since the characters lack the sharpness of laser prints; sample text printed using HP Photosmart 7350 lead to about 5% spelling/typo error. This makes editing Canon 5000F scanned documents a very tedious task; for comparison, the HP Scanjet 5400 & HP software completed the scans on the same documents with no errors.When working with forms, the OCR converted approximately 20% of the form accurately into Microsoft Word. Check boxes are often converted as big block letter "O", sometimes as a graphic, rarely as a check box. Overall very poor performance.Recommendation:If your scanner will primarily serve as a photo/graphic scanner, then this is a great value. If the document management feature in a scanner is important, I recommend looking into an HP scanner; there is a trade off - HP Scanners tend to trail Canon in graphic/film reproduction quality.

Canon has some fantastic optics for photo scanning. So does Epson. I wanted to scan photos every now and then and maybe archive old photos, so great photo optics was important. Canon, known for great digital cameras, has the same quality in the scanners. Why this over the 3170? This is half the price, smaller (about 1/3 in height), and looks great. It fit about 4 4x6 photos on the scanner, use the multi-scan at 600 dpi and works fine. Sometimes though, I think the autocropping could be better. It took all of 5 minutes to set up and use. It does not need a separate power adapter as it uses the USB for power. Its quiet and fast.I have done over 600 scans so far. Works like a charm. Its so fast, I can scan about 75 to 100 pictures an hour!

This scanner is sleek and does not need a lot of space, due to its design and the wonderful single USB cable connection. The scans are of good or very good quality (compared to HP).However the printer driver is unbelievable annoying. You have the option to use default scanning settings ( for b&w, greyscale, magazine, text) or to manually adjust the settings for each picture. The options are standard but the preview window is very small (too small). Thus you have to guess very often. But the worst feature of this driver is, that there is no way to save some of your own settings. You have to make the same adjustments all over again - for every single page of a document you are scanning ! (This affects every software you are using).This is unacceptable - on the other hand they deliver a well working OCR program with scanner (0mnipage). What are they thinking?

Nothing has worked right and I have given Canon ample time to correct the problem. Dirt and smudges under the glass, horrible twain driver (EPSON's much better), bad color mangement and no real support from Canon. I usually love my Canon products, but stay away (far away) from this one. I think I just got a bad unit, but also think that I am just goin' to be stuck with it forever.

Almost everytime that I buy something for my computer, I have to fight to get it to work. I'm a software Developer, so I know my way around computers pretty well. After struggling for 5 hours to get some new peripheral to work, I often wonder why non-geeks put up with it. HP used to be my default brand for everything, especially printers and scanners. I've had such bad luck the last few years with them, that I'm reluctant to purchase anything from them, except laser printers. So, even after reading all of the wonderful reviews about this Cannon scanner, I was still surprised that the installation went so well...put in the CD, click a few buttons, connect the scanner, begin scanning. I really like this little scanner...one cable, no power cord. It scans pretty fast and doesn't require warm up time. Cannon has showed me that it is possible to make quality computer add-ons at a low price. In addition, I also recommend buying this from amazon.com, instead of just reading the reviews and buying it from somewhere else. I could only find the LIDE 30 model in the stores I check, and the price was $30 over the price here, plus there isn't tax. I used the Supersaver for free shipping and it got here in 3-4 days. Impressive!
