Disadvantages: Not really found any major ones yet

I recently purchased a canon scanner for my husbands birthday. When trying to decide which to buy I took into consideration price , size, style and more than anything the specifications. We did also want something which was easy to get up and running and for a novice. Up to now we have not been dissappointed. This scanner requires 64 MB of RAM but 128 MB is recommended. You need at least windows 98. We are using windows XP. Ideally you should have ...

Advantages: Fast, light, single cable, easy to use, does't take up too much room :D

Advantages: No extra power supply required. Easy to use.
Disadvantages: None found yet

We recently looked to buy a scanner, which would be used to make a photo into a digital image (for enhancments etc).

It is lightweight and easy to use. The fact ... Read review

Advantages: small size, one button operation, no power supply needed
Disadvantages: some supplied software a bit dated

...machine. I'd seen an earlier Canon and was impressed by the size and functions offered so bought the latest model. Very easy to set up, just run the cd and choose the full install. When it's all done restart machine and plug in the scanner. Some of the software has since been removed as not really useful or duplicated what I already had but without doubt the best bit is the push button operation for copy, print, send by email or make a pdf. The ...
