Great scanner at a GREAT price
-
I love my scanner. I got it last Christmas and have been using it non-stop without any problems ever since. I did have a little trouble hooking it up at first, but it turned out that I wasn't reading the directions as well as I should have been. So that was my fault, not theres. It is easy to operate and I love the programs that come with! They are great for picture making! Great product! Very happy that I got it.

Outstanding scans of platen materials...
-
I have used this scanner for a little over a year now, and it really provides incredible results on printed and other opaque materials.Colors are very true (perhaps a slight warming on the color-temperature, as others have mentioned), and sharpness is fantastic.The scan-times were relatively slow, but an upgrade to a USB 2.0 card on my computer (cost me about $20) solved that problem.Scans times are very acceptable now.I have never had much use for the OCR software, but it seems intuitive enough and does a decent job.The rest of the software is not used much either (aside from the drivers, of course).My only beef: the transparency scanner is not what it was cracked up to be.The few negative scans I have made did not come out so well, and the reported competency of the integrated transparency scanner was one of the selling points for me.Maybe this is as good as it gets for a flatbed with an adaptor, but if you really want to get good results with transparencies, get a dedicated film scanner.

It is worth what I payed for it
-
I am pleased with the scanner and as far as I know it will do what it is suppost to do . If you by one you need to make sure that you have alot of ram because you will need it . I have not learned all the functions that it has but it has preformed well . I don't like the fact that canon does not have a toll free number to call if you need help .

USB 2.0 is the way to go!
-
I'm impressed with this scanner, and currently use the USB 2.0 speed. Needless to say, speed is the keyword here! I am so sick of slow scanners - they drove me nuts for years. Let's get to the facts: I wrote to Canon with questions before purchasing this item. The unit scans at 4 msec / line (at 600 dpi), and 8 msec / line (at 1200 dpi) for either color or black and white. This is twice as fast as the Epson brands I was considering with USB 2.0 capability. In addition to that, a friend of mine swears that Canon twain drivers are the best quality. The only downfall about this unit is that it's kind of noisy, which surprised me. My Canon scanner at work is silent as a mouse. But, I'd take speed over silence anyday, and the quality is excellent too. Epson is a great brand, but this scanner by takes the cake.
