...After my recent review of another Canon scanner I though, ahh why not review the other one too, whilst my head is still full of scanning terminology. Sorry if it sounds a bit similar to my other scanning review, but there is only so much you can say about a scanner!
So, the N640p, it sounds just like a manufacturers code that is used in a database somewhere. Well, to be brutally honest it is. Scanners, printers and suchlike never get good names. Cars will be called "Focus", "Edge", "Cheetah" and other fancy names, but scanners will always have rubbish names. Without further ado, here is a comprehensive guide to the CanoScanN640p, with as little jargon as possible.
My family first got a scanner in about 1999, and it broke within a month. That put us off for some time but we finally bought another one, which lasted and was rather...

Advantages: Fast, film scanning, high resolution Disadvantages: poor film scanning, no standby button
...Intro
This scanner from Canon is a flatbed scanner, which can also scan film. Yes, that means you can scan your old negatives! Of course, if you don’t need to, don't let that put you off this scanner. This is one of Canon's mid-range scanners, higher models have better film scanning.
Installation of this scanner was a breeze. First, you have to unpack the scanner. Whilst this may seem like a minor point, it does actually take a little while because all the parts of the scanner is secured by many little red tape strips of tape, which you have to remove. Whilst this does take a little while, you can be sure your scanner was fully protected in transportation and is assuring. After that you just have to connect the USB and power cables and install the software, and you're ready to go.
Speed
This scanner is much faster...

...CanonCanoScan
The CanonCanoScan LIDE 60 is one of my most recent buys.
It has a very hard act to follow in my study - an HP Scanjet 6300 which I reviewed some time ago.
Buying
The HP decided to die on me, just when I needed it in connection with a funeral!
I needed to scan a photo for an order of service in full colour, and the HP was lifeless.
A quick trip to PCW was my only hope, and faced me with a dilemma. Would I go top of the range - my normal approach - or get by with something cheapish.
The latter was the option which led me to the Canon. At under £50 it seemed to offer all I really needed, and did the job perfectly once I got it home.
Appearances.
This is a wonderfully light, slim model - and sits on its edge on the desktop if need be.
26 cms by 38 cms by 4 cms deep is all...
