Buy it...... Buy it NOW!
Whatever negative reviews you read about this scanner are false! If you want the sharpest clearest scans you have ever got...., BUY this scanner!
Fast doesn't say it well enough. Detail in the scans are incredible and by this I mean, if you have a dirty neg, pos, or photo.. it WILL show up BIG time in the final scan. Some call it noise, but if it is on the negative or photo that you scan it will be three times as bad after you scan. The results are awesome and the program that comes with this scanner is GREAT! After doing a search I found that the software alone ... Read More
Just what I needed to continue enlarging old family photos and tin types and negatives we have found. Brings out the faded pictures and enlarges them perfectly. Much more fun than my last scanner.
Rating: - A Great Scanner!!!
First of all, flatbed scanners are difficult to find in retail stores. neither Best Buy nor Circuit City had them. I reveiwed the most recent Consumer Reports testing of flatbed scanners in which Canon scored as a Best Buy for the under $100 model. I came down to two models, the Canon and the HP. The Hp model was lower in the Consumer Reports ratings, but far higher in cost (about $450) but it could scan more slides at a time. For further research, I went to HP's and Canon's web sites for each of the models. that was a big help. I settled on the Canon and I have not been disappointed. I am extremely ... Read More
Rating: - Great for converting slides to digital format
I bought this to convert hundreds of my parent's old 35mm slides to digital format. The quality is great and the software is super easy to use. It comes with a tray that holds 4 35mm slides and it scans them all at once with a single push of a button on the exterior of the scanner. The software automatically saves the slides as individual images. I haven't used it for anything else but the slides but I'd highly recommend it for this type of task.
Rating: - Seriously, Canon: what the heck!
Unit was a nightmare trying to set up on either a Mac Mini (intel) or MBP. Canon hardware usually excels but operating software and installation on OS X leaves a lot to be desired. Canon needs to let go of their code monkeys who obviously haven't used a mac enough to get it.
Trying to set up the buttons was also an exercise in frustration. Additionally, this scanner is quite large; much bigger than I was imagining so be aware it's going to require a fair amount of flat space.
The few scans I did were fantastic but given the awful time to set up and more-than-acceptably-hokey ... Read More
