Canon CanoScan N676U

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: 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 requires a USB port; that also supplies it with power, basically if your PC has a USB port, it’s good enough to handle this. Also 10 (min) - 200 (max megs of hard drive are required to install the scanner. The cable is about 1 meter long, which... Read review

Advantages: Very Easy to Use
Disadvantages: none

...I have had lots of scanners and I have found the Canon CanoScan LiDE 35 to be the best on I have ever used. Very easy to use, good scan relation, and picture quality. I use mine for all sorts of projects. My friends have other type's of scanners and I have got three of them to get a Canon CanoScan LiDE 35. And they will say the same as me. It's the best one you can bye for a very, very low price. It's very light and easy to transport, if your scanner in the office is not up to scratch then take in you Canon CanoScan LiDE 35 and do the job right. Runs off USB2 with very little power taken from you PC. And as the advert says if anyone can Cannon Can.... Read review

Advantages: Nice resolution, quick and easy to use, professional quality scanner
Disadvantages: Non so far

...I own a small printers and my back-ground is in Graphic Design so when I look for a scanner I look for one that is easy to use but can supply quality high resolution images that can be used for a professional looking finished product and the Canon CanoScan 8600F never fails to deliver the results I am after. Some may say that the price at around £120 to £150 is maybe a little on the high side but with 4800 x 9600dpi, USB2 connectivity for high speed scans and a nice little mode that allows you to scan multiple images as seperate files with a single pass of the scanner you certainly get what you pay for. If you are looking for a quality scanner for ease of use but professional results then the CanoScan 8600F is for you.... Read review

Advantages: Good software, small, slim
Disadvantages: None

...The first things that you notice about the Canon FB630Ui scanner are the striking blue colour of the lid, and the diminutive size. Set up is pretty straightforward provided you know how to install software - the manual is not as helpful as it should be. The scanner itself takes power via the USB port so there's less leads to trail. Scanning a document is reasonably quick, and the one touch button to launch the relevant software is very useful. Supplied software is pretty comprehensive also. For a simple, inexpensive scanner, the Canon FB630Ui is hard to beat.... Read review
