...wonderfully reproduces the color of photographs and slides when I scan images to store on my computer. However, for scanning negatives or slides, although you can use this model, it is recommended that you use a purpose built model instead for perfect clarity. For beginners or professionals, I would recommend it for its excellent results at a reasonable price. For the best color output, clarity and a sturdu build, I highly recommend the Canon 5000F. -------------------------------------- What's in the Box -------------------------------------- CanoScan 5000F scanner with built-in film adapter, USB cable, AC power supply and cord, setup poster, Canon Documentation Kit including CD-ROM with the following: ScanGear CS (Windows/Mac) CanoScan Toolbox (Windows/Mac) ArcSoft PhotoStudio, ArcSoft PhotoBase, ScanSoft OmniPage SE...

...The CanoScan 3200F offer good performance at a price that is not too bad. It comes with it's own software as well as with all the cables that are needed, mainly the USB and power adaptor. There is also a photo plate for scanning in photos. Setup is fairly simple, you just plug in the scanner, turn on your computer and then install the software.

The scanner itself is lightweight and slightly larger than a sheet of A4 paper. There are four buttons on the front which... Read review
