Slick CanoScan LiDE 80 works well with documents and pictures where 600 dpi resolution is more then enough. Hi-quality full color slide scan with minimum 2400 dpi resolution - this is a real challenge for newly introduced CIS technology. IMHO Canon made it satisfactory with new LiDE 80 model. I don't want to go digital with my Canon Rebel Ti camera, but for inexpensive photo enlargements, graphic works and WEB design projects I need a good scanner, otherwise digital dark-room with powerful Adobe Photoshop post-processing will be unavailable for me. I do my photofinishing in Fuji minilab, "Frontier" can dump my digital images on CD-R in bulk (1840x1232 JPEG with 300 dpi resolution, price ~6$ per roll) - that's all you can get from advanced minilabs today :-(. As alternative, you can buy professional Nikon Super Coolscan with 4000 dpi - it will cost you 10 times more than SOHO flatbed scanner and you'll never be able to capitalize this investment in our "digital" future.Today with CanoScan LiDE 80 I am in control of my pictures!Software bundle is adequate and Elements 2.0 is a real bargain for Adobe Photoshop novice.2010: Not supported anymore. No drivers for 64-bit Windows 7.

I spent 5 hours on the phone with tech support. They finally admitted without classic there is no real way to get this to work. This is not acceptable!!! The scanner scans great for my PC, but is dead on my mac.

I'd give it 10 stars if that were possible. It does everything you ask it to do without any backtalk and it has a wonderful price tag. From now on, everything I buy will be Canon-made.

I got this scanner to replace a 1220U for the Film scanning and decent OS X drivers. Unfortunately the drivers on the CD are really bad, but the ones on-line (Tool Box 4.1.3 and LiDE 7.2.1.0 as of this writing) are better, so download them first. PhotoShop Elements is a great bonus but the OmniScan SE is a "classic" only app. Not Canon's fault but still disappointing. Also the film tray is for negatives, not slides so be aware of that. Otherwise it is a nice scanner, light weight, compact and combines USB and power in the same cable (down with AC adaptors!). Mac OS X people get the drivers from the website first.

I had this scanner for a couple years. I thought it worked really good. I used it mainly for scanning pictures, and they were very sharp. Then one day the glass shattered into hundreds of tiny pieces with no apparent explaination.

the GOOD: lightweight, small, cheap, no power cord...the BAD: scans the flattest paper, 99.9% paper only! horrible software! FOR: beginners and only those scanning the flattest objects! i got the CanoScan N650U because of such overwhelming positive reviews, then i bought it and tried it - easy to install and started scanning. it is NOT AS GOOD as the majority online says it is. from the reviews i read, it was suppose to be quiet, fast and easy to use. well...it's not exactly that. i even contacted Canon, who said they would reply back with help in 2-3 days; it's been over a week.it's almost louder than my old scanner, a Umax Astra 1220S and crashes alot more on Window2000! the N650U scans at a good speed, though i had hoped faster for USB. while i do admire it's size and design, i despise it's scanning program and even it's scanning ability, or lack of i should say. the N650U only scans well if you have a perfectly flat object [99.9% paper material] on the surface. if u do not have a flat object and you scan, u will get the blurrest image!!! i'm talking about the slightest wrinkle in the paper, and the N650U will see it as a BIG blur! this scanner is ONLY for the flattest object, dont think of using it for magazines that are creased or such, you will get blurs at the crease. compared to my 1220S, the N650U is a lost cause! the photos scanned do not appear as clear as my 1220S and have white specks on the scans, even after i cleaned the glass surface! while the N650U saves space, it doesn't save the user from agony and professional use. it is overall a waste of money unless you are a pre-beginner at scanning and only scan flat paper images, which turn out decent.my 1220S does a good job of scanning everything! flat objects and 3D objects! the only reason i thought of buying another scanner is because i wanted to use the USB port rather than a SCSI port. and that my scanner is bulky compared to the N650U...but now that i've tried another scanner that seemed really nice but wasnt, i am definitely returning the N650U, then either stay with my old scanner or buy another brand. while the N650U looks beautiful on your desktop, it's not quite useful enough for a true designer working with graphics, drawings, etc. and for under 100$, there is NO such thing as high quality in this scanner. better to try another brand [first] and compare the results.

I bought this for my new 1.33G Athlon 256K PC and so far its been difficult to install and even more difficult to use the arcane software package. Unless your a techy there's a long painful(read months) learning curve here before you're doing anything much more than sending an e-mail attachment to Mom. I hold a Micro-Computer Diploma and Plug and play this unit definitely is not. Where I live the street price of this unit is a firm $149.95 Canadian or $97 USD which makes it the most expensive scanner in its category. The mark up is based strictly on the units'superior super slim appearance and single cord USB connection. Mine came with OmniPage 9.O optical character recognition, ArcSoft PhotoStudio 2000, and ArcSoft Photobase. This stuff is all scary complicated and the Canon Help line will tell you that they largely do not support it. You have to contact the software companies for in depth support and guess what.......nobodies home! Pay for the call, read it on their Website if you can, or they will e-mail back in 2 days. In the case of Arcsoft it is impossible to navigate their on-line manuals...go see for yourself. If you have an extra plug in on your power bar plugging in an AC adapter which comes with most competitors models is not really a big deal particularly if they provide you with software.... Like other writers have noted the plug in on the back of my scanner is loose and flimsy. If you are hung up on single USB connection and super slim profile you might want to check out the offering at GoogleGear.com for $49 USD. Looks the same to me and the software might be better. There are also much cheaper offerings from Visioneer and Hewlett Packard worth checking out in the under $100 category. Both are reliable. OmniPage is difficult to use and I'm stratching my head wondering if I would be better off with Textbridge by Xerox, the other competing OCR software available with some other scanners.d

Unlike some of the others with this unit, I had no trouble installing and using it (one I got the right drivers, that is -- J&R Music world initially sent me the wrong disk, grrr).Though it runs a little slow, it does make reasonably clean scans, and makes MUCH less clutter on and behind my desk than most other machines, which is why I bought it.People need to know, however, that the lens has crummy depth-of field, which means that anything that is not dead flat against the glass will look fuzzy. My previous scanner could make acceptable images of small three-dimensional objects; this one won't.Also, the color balance is kind of off, too blue-tinged. With my Paint Shop Pro, I need to subtract a little blue and add a little red to the scans to make them look like real life.I assume that both these problems (poor depth of field and color imbalance) come from the dim scanning lamp neccesitated by the low power available to the unit.

I am very impressed with this scanner. It is my first, so I don't have much to compare it to, but it worked extremely well once I figured a few things out. One thing you should be aware of; since this unit is powered only through the USB cable, Canon strongly recommends that you do not use a longer cable than the one supplied with the scanner. It's about 5' long, which should be long enough for most. Also, as others have stated, it should only be connected to a direct USB port on your computer.(not a hub, or "daisy chained" with other USB devices). Instalation was easy. Just follow the instructions in order. The software is easy to learn if you have the time to play with it. I didn't, so I went to Arcsoft's web site and downloaded the manual. My first scan was a 3.5" x 5" color photo. I set the res at 600 dpi. It took a LONG time. Then I realized I had the scan size set at 8.5" X 11" (duh). It was scanning the entire flatbed. Once I adjusted the scan size, it scanned the same photo, at the same res, in only about 20 seconds. And it's whisper quiet. I have read others complain that that it won't scan 3-D objects well at all. It probably wont. It uses entirely different technology than older "brighter" scanners which need a separate power cord. I don't see this as a problem for me, as 99% of my scans will be photos or text pages. I would recomed this product to anyone.

Advantages:Works with Mac OS 9.2.1, MacOS X (classic), and Windows2K/ME. Takes us NO space whatsover. Easy to use. Taught my wife how to do my dirty work, er, scan, in two minutes. Perfectly adequate for web work, great software bundle for the price. You can't reasonably expect to get publishing quality results for cheap.Drawbacks: Must use its own port on the computer, or a powered hub, since it draws its power from the USB link. Forget about using passive hub connections like an Apple keyboard, a three dollar hub, or a PCI card. Their consumer website makes no mention of this important caveat, which leads into the next drawback. Cannon's installer stinks on both platforms (Haven't they heard of Install Shield or VISE?), and their consumer support on the web is even worse. If you get stuck, you're out of luck.Still no native drivers for WinXP or MacOSX

I have been using mine for almost a year. Like other who posted reviews the scanner drawing power from the USB might be a hassle for some.I on the other hand found the output to be good but not great. There is some "bleeding" of colors when scanning an image with high contrasts. For example a picture of a red rose with a lush green foliage background. Your image might turn out with a red rose with a hint of green or green foliage with a hint of red.I do admit for (the price) you can't ask for anything more. If you are a casual user and don't plan of making a living scanning images and editing them for later sale this might be the scanner for you. Especially if you like to post family pictures on the web or create nice greeting cards or illustrations for fun.

This is one of the easiest to install and use add-ons I have ever purchased. I took it out of the box, plugged it in, inserted the CD ROM into my drive and it magically installed and was ready in a matter of minutes.It produces stunning images with either a push of a button or few clicks of a mouse. I have scanned everything from a passport page, complete with hologram, to a metal plaque. Each of these present unique challenges to copying and scanning devices because of reflections and the strange things holograms cause, but this scanner made completely faithful reproductions.The software that comes bundled is adequate, but I discovered that my copy of Paintshop Pro version 7 will automatically recognize the scanner and allow me to scan directly into that program. From there I can use the Adjust feature to quickly set quality and save the scanned image in any of the dozens of formats that Paintshop Pro supports. I really like the small size and sleek looks of this device, and the quality of both the scanner itself, and the images it produces are exceptionally high. It meets all of my needs, which are many since I produce a lot of documentation and need scanned images on many occasions. It is also useful for scanning and faxing from your computer, adding even more value. I think this scanner is one of the better values in computer peripherals and I highly recommend it.

Never having owned a scanner - and thus having nothing to compare it to - this scanner produces pretty decent results. I've only scanned a corporate brochure and some Boy Scout patches so far, and in both cases I was pleased with the result. A heads up, though - installation of the software took me over an hour, as I tried to override the defaults and only install the necessary components (for instance, I already have Adobe Acrobat and a graphics editor installed and didn't want a 2nd version of each, etc.) Well, the installer didn't like that and threw a fit, so I had to uninstall everything and start over from scratch. Maybe it's me, maybe it's Canon - who knows. Incidentally, this was on a PC - I also installed the software on my dad's iMac, and it went on without a hitch. Once everything was up and running, scanning was very easy to learn and went quickly. I was really surprised at how quiet it was - it only makes noise when doing a "preview" scan (like an electronic whining, sounds sort of like a can opener). But when doing the actual, final scan, it's so quiet I was tempted to lift the lid to see if it was actually doing anything!Scans look pretty good, but you need to do some trial and error with the settings to maximize the sharpness. No manual comes with this scanner - all documentation is on the installation CD-ROM.

This is my second scanner from Canon. I owned the first Canoscan that came out a few years ago, and it served me very faithfully. Upon upgrading my system, I felt the need to get a new scanner with USB. I came back to the Canoscan models. This unit was incredibly easy to install (both hardware and software). The USB plug acts as both a port connector and a power cord! The unit is very slim and compact, takes up hardly any desk space. The software pack comes with a limited edition of Adobe PhotoShop 5.0-- for those of you who do not know, Photoshop is a professional photo editing package. All in all, a very nice scanner package. 42 bit color and great 600 by 1200 DPI. Also, the scanner has the ability to scan items up to 1" thick-- like books.The scanning is easy, you can open the software or you can use the 'one touch' button on the scanner. There are different settings, so you can customize what the scanner does when the one-touch button is used-- copying, faxing, scanning, etc. The scans are crisp, and the USB is much faster that traditional parallel port scanners. (I speak from experience)Most people consider this an 'entry-level' scanner, but IMO, unless you're scanning satellite photos and trying to find the missle silos (haha)-- this is the scanner for you. If you ARE looking for something with a little more *bang*, I also recommend the CanoScan N1220U- same size, same software, but higher DPI and a sleek metal casing. (costs more!)

I recieved this scanner as a gift last Christmas and have not experienced any problems with it. Almost all of the scanning I do is photo's for the web to send to friends and family and this scanner has given me excellent results. Recently I purchased Photoshop Elements and have been scanning at higher resolution for editing purposes and the scanner has been perfect. I've never had or used a scanner before this so I can't compare it to any others but coming from a true beginner I would say that if you just want a fun scanner that's easy to use and produces great scans of photo's you'll love this one.

DO NOT BUY THIS SCANNERCannon alleges that this is easy to install. I spent countless hours toying with Windows trying to get it to work. I downloaded patches, drivers and services packs to no avail. I had two, hour-long phone calls with their tech-support (When tech-support has you editing the registry, you know something's up), no dice. I even had the sys-admin from my work come to my house and he couldn't figure it out. Enough is enough.I'm not running anything exotic either, just Win2000 professional on a new AMD computer.Steer clear at all costs!DO NOT BUY THIS SCANNER!

Just bought this scanner to help me in my work as a web designer. I wasn't really sure about it, but thought, well, I will try it and see. Well, it gets top marks. The software was VERY easy to install, and it is great that is a USB device - because I travel with my laptop and this scanner is small enough to bring with me. Also, the scan speed was fantastic - much better than my expectations. It also comes with text recognition software - so you can scan a page and it will convert it to a text document. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds great.

After three weeks my computer no longer recognized that the scanner was there. I called tech support (on my dime :( ) and they sent out another cable - no good. Called again (my dime) and they offered to replace it with another. What good is that if it just breaks again? The connector on the back needs some physical support, so make sure you don't breathe on it heavy or anything really violent like that.

I was seriously considering buying a different scanner when a salesperson convinced me to consider the Canon N650U. I was not relishing having to buy a new scanner since it had taken me a while to get to know and understand the functions and operations of my previous scanner, but it was not working reliably anymore so I had no choice. Am I ever glad I happen to get a salesperson who had personal knowledge of how great the Canon is. It installed easily, and is extremely easy to use. I have an HP DeskJet printer and the scanner and printer work together without a hitch. It is very compact - another plus when space is a factor. I would highly recommend this scanner

I just got my scanner a few days ago, and it's incredible. It's my second scanner, and by far the best I've ever used. The CanoScan is quick and simple to operate, and offers an amazing software suite that I've only begun to explore. I've done several old photos, both black and white and color, and printed them out. Even enlarged, the photos came out crystal clear.If you're in the market for a consumer grade scanner, this is the one I'd recommend.

This is the first scanner I purchased and I was a bit nervous. I didn't want to spend much money since I was going to use the scanner for personal use... just scanning pictures to share with friends and family. When I received the scanner, it was installed pretty quickly. One thing that almost scared me was that I need my windows 98 disk, I didn't know where it was and thought I was through but I did find it and the rest of the install was a breeze. Instructions to use the scanner were even easier to get through... click this button to scan, done. I was up and scanning photos within minutes. The thing I enjoyed most was the fun things you can do with the pictures once you scan them. The Adobe PhotoShop that actually comes with the scanner has great and fun things you can do to the pictures to enhance them or make them more fun (distorting or aging). It is truly amazing how clear the photos scanned; I could even scan a newspaper article and could read it clearly. Great purchase!
