Canon LiDE Color Flatbed Scanner

Customer Rating:
Surprisingly versatile software functions are provided, especially for the price. I found the color reproduction to be very good, and copy features such as producing copies of different sizes than the original are very handy. The direct scan to an e-mail attachment is very useful. I use it also in conjunction with fax software on my PC, so scan to fax is seamless. Overall a very good value product.

Windows compatability

Customer Rating:
Bottom line: The scanner does not work with Windows 7. There is no indication on the amazon page that it is not compatible with windows 7. I contacted Canon tech service and they said, "sorry, we can't help you". Don't buy this scanner if you are looking at upgrading your computer at any time in the future.

Color Scan

Customer Rating:
This scannner worked exactly for the purpose I needed it to. I needed to scan some statistical sheets for bowling and email them to members of my league and it was so simple. Just put the sheet on the glass, scan and save. SO SIMPLE and portable and lightweight and the best part is the fact that it connects to my laptop with just the USB cord.

Good Sleek Design

Customer Rating:
It makes goog copies. You have to go a little further into the software in order to get good cropped results when scanning and copying.

Great for photos

Customer Rating:
I bought this scanner to copy dozens of old photos that are fading or are odd sizes; and this scanner lets me do that very easily, and the price seemed like a bargain. I especially like that I can scan up to four photos at once, and I get four separate pdf files. I use Picasa to retouch and resize the scanned photos.

I still use my HP inkjet for for daily printing and copying because ... I keep a 750GB Western Digital MyBook external drive attached to a USB port on the back of my 6-year-old desktop. When I connect the scanner to the USB port on the front of my desktop, it disables the MyBook external drive. Flash drives don't do that, and neither does a 500GB external drive. So, I have to restart my computer after using the scanner in order to use the external drive again.
