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: 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: 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: 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: compact, quality scans, easy to use
Cons: Only USB compatible, a bit pricey at $199.99

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, 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: 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: 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: USB, light-weight, high-resolution, expandable lid
Cons: no transparency option (backlighting for slides, negatives, etc.)

After a bit of research I concluded the Canon 1220U looked like the best buy for home/office. I need this to scan photos, line art, and basic 3D objects (auction, or experimental art project). I'd recommend a service bureau for anything higher than 300...

Pros: slim design, gives good images
Cons: only one button, speed is average

The Canon CanonScan N1220U is a 42 bit 1200 by 1200 dpi scanner. The best feature for this scanner is the slim and stylish design. You can turn this machine on the side (with a plastic stand) and it does the job.
It is only one inch thick...

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, 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: 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: Easy to setup / light weight / nice software bundle.
Cons: Poor scanning quality.

Setting up this scanner was very simple and fast. You take the scanner out of the box and plug in the usb cable. In no time you have scanned your first image.

That's when I started having problems. The first image I scanned was a sunset...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Very weak system and bad engineering design: Easily broken

I bought this product on Dec. 2000. I could use it for a month without any problem. A month later,
my PC didn't recognize this scanner. I thought
that the connection was loose. I called Canon and
they granted a product exchange. I...
