Canon's own LiDE (LED Indirect Exposure) technology provides scans of up to 1200 x 2400 dpi and 48-bit color with very low energy consumption. It requires no power plug, getting all the power it needs from the USB connection. It is also extremely small and saves valuable desk space. With its supplied stand it can even be used on its side.

These are accompanied by a variety of powerful applications including Arcsoft PhotoStudio and PhotoBase for image editing, OmniPage SE for Optical Character Recognition, NewSoft PageManager for document archiving and management and Adobe Photoshop Elements for photo image adjustment.

Review of Canon CanoScan LiDE 50 by Tortenmann

Advantages: Very conpact design that does not hinder performance
Disadvantages: quite slow becasue its not mains powered. Not as good as the desktop models

Because I travel a lot for work, I needed a scanner so that I can scan documents and images. I came across this very handy scanner after looking around for a while for a scanner that was portable, useable and most of all, of high quality. I had already tries several other scanners that were of no use to me at all, either too full of features or not at all and not very good. I found that this one had it all. I found it in review site, I can’t remember ... Read review

Scanning Success
Review of Canon CanoScan LiDE 50 by markb999

Advantages: A high quality scanner at a reasonable price
Disadvantages: No mains power which slows it down a little

I bought this scanner just over a year ago and have had trouble free scanning ever since. It was very easy to install with good instructions that led you through the process in a logical manner. I would think that even a pc novice could do it. I cannot remember the exact price I paid at the time but remember thinking it was good value for the features you got in comparison to other manufacturers. It also came with a fantastic software bundle that ... Read review

Review of Canon CanoScan LiDE 50 by aarbie

Advantages: fast, good resolution, good value, software bundle
Disadvantages: none to think of

I bought the Canon LiDE 50 scanner just over a year ago, to replace an aging and very slow USB 1.1 model from an alternate manufacturer. Speed + resolution were my main initial requirements, as was a compact design. At the time of purchase, there were very few USB 2.0 [or Hi-Speed, Enhanced USB depending on your 'Device Manger' listing in Windows] compliant scanners, and the price was very fair [£70 including VAT and delivery]. Software very ... Read review
