Canon CanoScan N1220U Flatbed Scanner

Pros: small and lightweight. Excellent picture quality. Multi-function button is very useful.
Cons: Slow scan speed for high quality imaging.

I've had this scanner for 3 years now, and have been very pleased with it. The image quality is excellent. I like how small and light the scanner is- it takes up no space on my desk (you can even store it sideways). I've used it for web publishing,...

Pros: Excellent color reproduction, high image quality
Cons: Won't accommodate legal paper for copying

We purchased this scanner after being tired of the poor accuracy of color reproduction of an older non-name brand model. We frequently scan in photos of our daughter and print them on photo paper for relatives, and of course we wanted our little girl to...

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 ...

Pros: Huge resolution, amazing quality, no power cord
Cons: Windows 98 might get confused if you have more imaging devices

I had been on the market for a scanner for some time now. I don't have a lot of desk space so I was considering one of those 'mini' photo scanners with a 300 dpi resolution. Then last week I walked into Fry's electronics to find this beautiful CanoScan....

Pros: only $69, about 1" thick, great picture quality
Cons: tends to freeze, only works upon startup, no power button

I got this scanner after it was on sale at Fry's for only $69. Quite a bargain huh? The scanner froze after the first time I used it. I was a bit disappointed, so I rebooted my computer. It doesn't have a power button so you can't turn it on and off. You...

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: easily storable
Cons: none so far

I told my parents that I needed a scanner for college, so they bought me one. I found this and loved it because it was flat and silver. It is so flat that it fits in my small desk drawer, it doesn't take up desk space. It is so easy to use too. All...

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: Very Slim Design - TAKE IT ANYWHERE, USB POWERED, EASY SETUP, USB CABLE, MODERATE SPEED
Cons: Little on the slow side of scanning, Had to Download a Win2k Driver

Pros: Great scanning of all things. High resolution
Cons: Minor scanning imperfections

This scanner is so compact. Most of the books I have are bigger than the scanner. Z-lid expansion helps scan bulky items such as big books and other irregular shape items. It is high resolution (1200 dpi) with 42 bit. It is also USB powered, so there...

Pros: Space Saving Design, Fast, Easy to Use.
Cons: None.

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.....

...

Pros: Excellent quality, great space saver
Cons: High res is slow, a bit pricey

My old scanner took up a lot of desk space and what was scanned came out very washed out. This one, however, the colors are deep and true, the resolution is excellent, the quality is excellent. you can't fit bit stuff in there like books. The design of...

Pros: Easy to use, does not take up much space, good quality
Cons: Slow with high resolution scans such as photos

We purchased this scanner specifically for home use. We wanted to scan pictures of our kids, as well as, scan our bills, insurance eobs and other important papers so we would always know where there was a copy. This has been the easiest scanner for me...

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: 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...
