The CanoScan LiDE 20 USB flatbed scanner is one of the world's most compact flatbeds - still, it offers big performance and big savings. Just over an inch high, it packs in all the...
more...features you need to scan images, copy documents or e-mail your favorite photos. All with true "one-touch" operation. The LiDE 20 scanner is so intuitive and easy to use, first-time users can get expert results in remarkable color resolution up to 600 x 1200 dpi and up to 48-bit depth with over 281 trillion possible colors. To scan, just place the photo on the platen and push the "scan" button - that's it. "Copy" and "e-mail" functions are just as simple. Set up and operation is made even easier with just one cable for power and USB - no extra AC adapter needed. Scan multiple photos at once with the push of a button. "Multi-Scan mode" is automatically activated and scans all the pictures in a single pass, preparing a separate image file for each. It will even adjust any slightly misaligned photos. Scanning multi-pages into a PDF file is just as easy. Innovative software even allows you to save your images directly to CDs as easily as scan, click and burn. The LiDE 20 scanner is small but can tackle the big jobs. The exclusive Z-Lid expansion top lifts 1" high and stays flat for scanning books and magazines. Most other scanner covers lift only at an angle, often resulting in poor scans. Canon integrated QARE 2.0 (Quality Automatic Retouching and Enhancement) technology is designed to help perfect every scan by automatically removing much of the dirt and scratches from images, helping you to look like a pro.

This is another bargin I got for knock down money from a well known auction site! The wife and i were looking for a scanner, we have always had canon printers so we brought it (£24.98 brand new inc P&P).
Installation was quick and easy and being USB powered, there is only one cable to connect. The unit is very compact and can be used flat or upright thanks to the detachable baseplate.
3 simple buttons on the front of the scanner can be re programed to you own choice for scanning straight into a folder, direct copy to printer, or all sorts of other things!
The software is very easy to use and has caused no problems in the past year of use as has the unit itself which does not get used that often, so its re assuring to know that when you do want to use it, it will work first time. Although canon do have a great after sales service via email so any little problems that may occur are sorted quickly.
The quality of the scan for such a cheap scanner is superb, although for the best quality scan it does take a long while to fully scan and upload to your pc, but if like me you only use a scanner every now and again, it really is worth the money.
So for all of you who want a cheap scanner but good quality, this in my opinion is the one to go for.
