I did not further investigate the cause(s). The software would not retain settings at first (we had to reconfigure resolutions for each scan), but after several scans the settings finally did hold. I would not have chosen this model if I had known that the scanner does not permit fully custom scans. The software attempts to do everything automatically and will not easily permit the user to choose a custom scan. The included software is about par for modern apps: a lot of 'features' that are aimed to satisfy several first-time users' needs, but without satisfactory documentation to tell the user how the software actually works (people new to scanners and photo editing may need hours or more to learn how to adequately use the software unless they accept the beginner level of pushing the single 'automatic scan' button). Although it may be par for almost all modern manufacturers to avoid giving specifications of their products, to me the absence of specs means the manufacturer is either trying to hide something or else the manufacturer is only aiming their products towards inexperienced buyers who do not understand nor care about what the specifications might imply. I would not have considered the scanner if it had wireless.Ĭons: The Canon website offers little information about the scanner I could not find any useful information about the scanner aside from reviews like those here on Newegg. No wireless/Wifi (for health and security reasons I purposefully avoid all wireless devices). Good quality results for most everything we have scanned. I like the modern appearances as compared to the older scanners.
Sizably smaller than older flatbed negative scanners (more room left on the desk). The included software has a dark skin (important for when used hours each day), and runs on Windows XP to 8 (my installation was on Windows 7 Home). I was sincerely surprised and impressed at how well color and black and white negatives turned-out.Īlthough still plenty audible, the scanner is very quiet and fast compared to the older style flatbed scanners (takes about a minute to do what old scanners did in about 15 minutes). Pros: Very good quality when scanning film negatives.
