Cannon 8800F scanner ^ The scanner arrived quickly, was relatively easy to set up, but a little difficult to figure out how to operate even for a fairly computer oriented person. The Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 for Macintosh would not install on my fairly new Mac, so be aware that Mac users will need to provide their own graphics program. I checked that Cannon web site and they know that only v. 6 works with new Macs, but included v. 4 anyway.
For the price it's terific ^ Only had it a couple weeks but so far its terrific. Had alot of 35mm slides to scan. Did a great job. Scanned regular photos also and it seems to give the result I wanted.
Takes some time at high very resolution (2400 and up) for the slides but considering what I paid it is well worth the wait. It's very fast at a resolution of 300. Have not been able to start working on the scanned photos in photoshop which will give me much more info on the details of the scan.
The software is pretty good but nothing to write home about. Not as intuitive as it could be.
I would definitely recommend this scanner from what I have seen so far.
Maybe a good scanner, but wasn't what I wanted ^ Well, I had wanted a scanner that scanned 8x11 negative films, and I thought I had found one, but it only scans a strip about 4 inches wide. It would have been easier if they would post a picture of the top scanning area. So the only one I can find that does this is 600 bux. Ugh.
Easy scan of negatives ^ I purchased this scanner to fulfil my New Years' resolution to digitalize all my photographs & negatives. This scanner serves both purposes well. I unpacked the equipment and loaded the software on my computer. Within 30 minutes I was loading negative strips into the cartridge and scanning them. Viola. It was that easy. I like that I can load as many as 12 negatives at a time. I also like that I get a preview of the negatives and can select which ones I actually want to scan and save. This saves time because it takes about one minute(ish) per negative to scan. After scanning I have the opportunity to modify, adjust, or change the digital picture file or save it. Saving the files is easy too. You can use the generic name the program provides or change the name. With two labradors supervising my project, I have discovered that a soft cloth and a can of air is helpful to keep hair out of the negative cartridge. I have only scanned one photo (am concentrating on the negatives right now) but it seems very easy too. For someone like me who has multimedia and wants to organize it in digital files, this piece of equipment is the answer.
An Excellent Choice ^ I made my decision to purchase this scanner based on Consumer Report magazines' recommendation. I have a good 3 in 1 , but this CanoScan outpreforms it by a mile!!! I don't think anyone will regret this purchase.
