I’ve owned a couple of dirt-cheap scanners… mainly as an alternative to buying a photocopier to use for 2-3 sheets per month – this is the best scanner by a huge margin. I’ve never been concerned... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Best scanner you can get if you can find it for £45. Looks, general quality of the product, size, simple operation, good scan quality.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Speed and options available not first class, can’t scan large items at high resolutions, age (USB 1,1 as opposed to 2.0), software line-up, doesn’t make the best noise in the world. Question marks as to why there are so many refurbished ones.

    The Canon CanoScan N670/676U is a mid range USB flat-bed A4 scanner. I’ been around for nearly a year and is still in Canon’s current range. The scanner retails for about £60, but in March, I purchased a refurbished on for £45 (from Special reserve url: ukgames.com, though I bought it from a shop and not the website). •Basic specs: This is a mid range USB 1.1 (not the superior USB 2.0) CIS scanner capable of scanning at 600x1200 dpi (dots per inch) featuring 48bit input and 24 bit output. It’s compatible with all windows versions (including Win XP if you use the Win 2000 drivers) and MAC it ... more

    4 Stars My Lean Mean Scanning Machine 16/08/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages For the price the resulting scans are excellent and it looks cool

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The irritating noise it makes in operation

    Introduction In order to prolong the memories of my recent magnificent travelling adventure and to share some of my experiences with friends and family, I returned home determined to construct a website describing my time away. Obviously to give a real reflection of my time away the site would have to be plastered with my photographs, but having returned with a remarkable number of films, 17 to be precise, I was faced with the prospect of shelling out an extra £85 on top of processing costs to get my photos put onto C.D’s. This seemed an extortionate amount of money so I decided to investigate ... more

    5 Stars Sleek, Sexy and Stylish 01/04/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages small and compact, easy to use, cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages only USB connection

    Most people will recognise the Cannon brand and will associate it with photography and with good reason, as they produce very good cameras. Over the past few years Cannon has also got into producing other imaging products such as Digital Cameras, Printers and Scanners. All of these products I would say are among the best in the world. This review is going to be about one of their latest scanners, the model name is N670U. This wont mean much to anyone, well except probably those who work for Cannon... or possibly those people who sell Cannon products... but any way it's just another number to ... more

    3 Stars A decent scanner for a crowded desk. 12/04/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A neat little scanner which stands vertically to save desk space.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Vertical scanning is a big let-down!

    When your old, chunky parallel port scanner packs up, you'll be spoilt for choice when you go out to buy a USB replacement. Chances are, the average home user needs something that will scan and reproduce an item accurately - and any sub-£50 scanner should suffice. So... WHY THE 670U? I won't go through all the features on this scanner in detail, because if you've seen one low-end model you've really seen them all. Colour reproduction is excellent, scans are crisp and detailed, and the only slight problem is that everything has to be absolutely flat or else it will blur. A USB connection can ... more

    5 Stars Very good for the price 04/06/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, reliable, good software, USB-powered

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Basic, no parallel connection

    This scanner is very cheap, so you of course cannot expect the quality or speed of a scanner costing hundreds of pounds. The resolution does not go particularly high, but at the resolutions it can do it still produces good quality scans, though they do have a slight tendency to go a little dark at the sides. There are no bells and whistles to speak of on this model - no film scanner, paper feeder or anything like you get on the more expensive models. It does, however, have buttons on the front for an instant email and photocopy as well as one to scan with the normal options. It connects to the ... more
