Pros: Awesome quality. No power cable. Slim. Z-Lid. Easy to use. Reliable.
Cons: Not Blazing Fast. No Slide Scanning. May be too good/$$$ for the average consumer.

You can’t go wrong with this scanner! My new scanner just blows my old scanner out of the water. The term, “you get what you pay for” couldn’t hold truer. My old scanner cost $30, and it was a bulky dinosaur that took forever to scan a document. The...

Pros: Small footprint
Cons: Still none after 7yrs

UPDATE- 10 Dec 07 - Just hooked up the old CanoScan to the new Acer Laptop with Vista home basic. I had to manually extract the drivers (Vista kept giving me errors about needing some device overwrite permission), pointed the program file where to look ...

Like a 16-year old boy, I wondered if Mrs. Right would ever
come along. Sort of. Not really caring Who but kind of
looking them all over.....

You say you're looking for a "decent" scanner. Well, you're barking up the wrong tree because this thing is FANTASTIC.

Nowadays, scanners can be had for under $50 bucks. Pretty amazing, but you get what you pay for. The cost of the...

Pros: Slim, low space design.
Cons: Slow high resolution scan.

This scanner is very convenient with it's single USB cable hook-up design. There is no power cable. Another thing that makes this scanner nice is the size of it. It is 10 1/8 inches wide by 14 3/4 inches deep and 1 1/4 inch high in the normal sitting...

Pros: Excellent quality, small size, easy to use
Cons: Technology is not the best for higher end scanning

One of the nicest and most unique features of Canon's scanners is the size - this...

Pros: Slim, beautiful design. Power and signal through single USB cable.

They say you can never be too rich, or too thin. Well, regardless of how you feel about that adage, Canon seemed to have taken it to heart when designing the CanoScan N1220U. It’s about as thin as they come, barely taller than a stack of 3 WIRED...

Pros: Great design, fast and accurate scans, easy installation
Cons: Price, flimsy USB plug

My old 300 DPI scanner has been collecting dust in the corner for almost a year. When I built my new system last summer, I just didn't want to take the time to setup and install an obsolete scanner, which, at best, gave me marginal quality scans.
...

Pros: ultraportable and simple to use, no extra power cable needed
Cons: USB issues, poor scan quality, cost

For a few years I had used an old HP Scanjet to do my scans, but it was big and klunky, and required SCSI. While I did like the speed of SCSI, after several blazing machines, I moved away from SCSI because of its cost. So, in looking for a new scanner,...

Pros: Takes up little space, high-quality scans, great software!
Cons: Haven't found one yet!

A solution to our problem:
I work for my college newspaper and handle most of our purchases. One of our best purchases was this CanoScan N1220U. The first reason I chose this product was that our office was messy. As a matter of fact, our...

Pros: Space saving design and nice scans.
Cons: USB connection is slow. No big scanner frills.

Don't be fooled by the diminutive size of the CanoScan 1220U, (and it's replacement the 1240U). It may only weigh a few pounds, but this scanner is all heavy weight.

People usually by scanners to scan pictures, but what most often happens is...

Pros: Slim, cool looking, fast
Cons: Nothing

I actually got this scanner for Christmas this year. I wanted this model because of several things. Size, Scan Resolution, USB and least importantly it just plain looks cool.

It is only about 1" tall, 14" Deep and 10" Wide. You...

Pros: VERY SLIM!!! Easy to use durable.
Cons: Only uses USB. But, what scanner now doesn't?

I bought a Canonscan N1200U scanner to go with my camera, as I thought that it would be cheaper to buy a scanner, than a whole new digicam.
Why Canon?
Well, I have a Canon camera, so why not? The scanner was said to have 1200 by 2400 dpi...

Pros: Small and powerful.
Cons: Nada

Very nice scanner, very slim and takes up little space. This scanner can be purchased at $160 at buy.com, its retail price is $199 which you find it everywhere at that price. I was able to get it for $136. Scanner can do a max. resolution of 1200x2400...

Pros: slim, light, single cable
Cons: USB only

When I first opened the box, I was astonished at how slim and light the scanner is. How could Canon possibly make a quality scanner so sleek? Even though the scanner is very small and light, it is not flimsy. The construction is actually good...
