Diamond review   Kwanon kweates leally nice scanners!!
Review of Canon CanoScan LiDE 30 by Kingseany

Advantages: Cheap, simple, quick to learn
Disadvantages: Multiple scan in one pass is suspect

...when she went for the Canon Canoscan LiDE 30. We must have all heard of Canon, they are Japanese company, specialists in producing imaging and optical products, and have been around since 1933. Maybe you didn't know they originally had the name "Kwanon"!! ** Box Contents ** I remember the old scanner I used to have going back a few years, huge it was, so was somewhat taken aback when I opened the box, it's apparently one of the worlds smallest ...
...priced just under that mark. Canon offer other models in the range, the LiDE 20 (under £40) and LiDE 50 (over £60). These alternatives generally differ by only a few specifications, so consider your needs before you decide. ** Conclusion ** I'm quite impressed, and it takes a bit to impress me. It's been a doddle to learn, not just for me but for my partner too. So far I've been able to scan a wide range of documents and images without any trouble ... Read review

Diamond review   One Small Step Towards The Paperless Spare Room
Review of Canon CanoScan LiDE 30 by Nomad1970

Advantages: No External Power Supply, Great Images, Very Easy To Use
Disadvantages: Not Especially Quick, A Little On The Noisy Side, No Transparency Adapter

...ended up with was the Canon canoscan LiDE 30 (apparently lide stands for led indirect exposure). The RRP is about £80 although when I bought it at Currys they had it reduced to £60. I've included more technical details at the end of this review but in essence it's a 48 bit USB2 colour flatbed scanner suitable for use on windows or mac operating systems. The box contains a USB cable, software CD, quick start manual, a stand and the scanner itself ...

Does what it says .... most of the time.
Review of Canon CanoScan LiDE 30 by liz1102

Advantages: a nice scanner at a realtively small cost
Disadvantages: Noisy and comparatively slow, doesn't always get results first time

...use an older (I think) Canon scanner (the CanoScan LiDE 25). This scanner has three buttons on the front to allow for one touch scanning. These buttons are 'Scan', which saves straight to a file and opens in your desired photo editor, 'Copy', which I think just sends a copy to the printer (but I'm not too sure as I haven't used this feature) and 'Email', linking the scanned image straight to your email program, without allowing for any editing of ...
...multiple scans on the same pass, and auto crop of the image. Neither of these features works flawlessly, but auto crop has come in useful. The multiple scan feature often seems to pick up random areas as different scans, and saves them to different files, and the area you actually wanted to scan is now in several pieces. Auto crop has a habit of sometimes cutting too close to the edge of the object being scanned and cutting off each edge, often losing ... Read review

Scantastic !
Review of Canon CanoScan LiDE 30 by DubaiBug

Advantages: USB, A breeze to install and use
Disadvantages: Not many

I bought this scanner with one intention, to archive my many years of holiday photos from before I'd bought my digital camera. It turned out to be perfect for this task... My first thoughts were that I'd got bits missing, there was no power supply in the box, but none is required as the scanner takes all it's power from the USB interface. Simply plugging in and running the software from the accompanying CD and we we're ready to go. The scanner ...
...a copy button and an eMail button. Pressing any button opens a simple interface, simply pop in your document or photograph and click the scan button and away it goes! There are plenty of options to enable more advanced users to tweak settings. The email option saves the file at a suitable size and creates a new eMail message with the scan attached. Simplicity itself. The scan button allows saving as a variety of image types, pdf files and OCR (more ... Read review

Archive those old photos!
Review of Canon CanoScan LiDE 30 by pepetheprawn

Advantages: Excellent quality, easy operation.
Disadvantages: Fairly noisy, quicker models available. OCR capability appears not to work!

...purhcased this scanning offering from Canon roughly 2 weeks ago. If you take a look at my other reviews you can see that I am a serious fan of Canon products, and this scanner reaffirms my loyalty!! Me and my family have roughly 1000 photos, which are currently in albums scattered around the house, some of them are obviously very sentimental so I took the step of getting a scanner for digital archival purposes. At a glance: The Canon LiDE 30 scanner ...
...feature which is touted by Canon I have had REAL trouble configuring and getting to work. I don't need this feature, but for the purposes of this review I thought it would be a good idea. However, over the past 2 weeks I have been unable to use this feature successfully. I have followed all the instructions and worked with computers in an academic and professional capacity my entire working life. I don't yet know whether this is down to the scanner ... Read review

Manufacturer's product description

Looking for an easy-to-use scanner that offers high-resolution scanning and all the latest features? The CanoScan LiDE 30 USB Flatbed Scanner has it covered. Just over an inch high, it has all the features you need to scan images, copy documents or e-mail your favorite photos. Quality is outstanding with up to 1200 x 2400 dpi resolution and up to 48-bit depth that delivers stunning color reproduction with more than 281 trillion possible colors. All at the touch of a button. To scan, place the photo on the platen and push the "scan" button - that's it. "Copy" and "e-mail" functions are just as simple. Operation is made even easier with just one cable for power and USB - no extra AC adapter needed. The LiDE 30 scanner even removes much of the minute dust and scratches on photos automatically with built-in QARE 2.0 (Quality Automatic Retouching and Enhancement) technology. 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 30 scanner is small but can tackle big jobs. The exclusive Z-Lid expansion top lifts high and stays flat for scanning books and magazines. Most other scanner covers lift only at an angle, often resulting in poor scans.
