Canon CanoScan FB620U Flatbed Scanner

Pros: Tiny size, inexpensive, flatbed, good software, easy to use, USB connection, great quality
Cons: Can't scan large documents, a little on the loud side, mine was missing the Caution sheet

I'm on my third scanner in five years, and I think I've found a winner. The CanoScan 620U is a USB flatbed scanner, only slightly bigger than a notebook but with more capability than my last two scanners combined.

After my first...

Pros: easy installation, high quality, low price
Cons: none

Being a military family, we are far away from family and close friends. A scanner was something we would use often for sending photos to Grandma and Grandpa, but we didn't want to spend oodles of money. We chose the Canon CanoScan FB620U mainly for the...

Pros: Inexpensive, Adequate Scanning, Great Software Included
Cons: Not Suited For Professional Applications

I was looking for an inexpensive solution to the problem of placing graphics on web pages. I considered scanners and digital cameras and opted for a scanner as being more suited to my purposes.

At Office Depot, I found a Canon CanoScan FB320...

Pros: Very cheap (even cheaper on eBay), great quality, easy to use
Cons: Might not be good for high end needs

I got the 620U scanner on eBay for $40 (I think retail is around $120) so already I was pretty excited at how cheap I managed to get a scanner. The scanner was brand new, not a refurbished model, and to be honest, eBay runs around this price quite often....

Pros: simple to operate, quick and doesn't take up much space
Cons: can't find an email option to send photos

I bought this scanner for a mere $40, when retail is around $120 or so. I had a coupon and free shipping from buy.com and found it in the clearance section. It was a refurbished model, but works and looks brand-new to me. Since this was my first scanner...

Pros: affordable, easy to use, small
Cons: can't scan big items

This is such an easy scanner to pick up and use especially if you don't have a lot of graphics experience such as myself. I bought this scanner mostly for the use of selling stuff online at auctions, putting my picture in personals, maybe putting up a...

Pros: Very small compact size, decent price, very acceptable performance
Cons: separate power supply to plug in, no film or transparency capabilities

I've had my 620U for over a year and overall I've been very happy with it. As a USB device you simply load the drivers, hook up the scanner's usb cable and plug it into AC power with the computer running. By way of comparison, a scsi scanner would be...

Pros: Great picture quality, great price, light weight
Cons: Moderately loud (but you get used to it)

This is the first scanner that I've ever purchased, and quite frankly, I do not see a reason to purchase another one. There's no need! This is an awesome scanner.

I've wanted a scanner for awhile so I could scan pictures of my son when we get...

Pros: Small footprint, easy to use.
Cons: Dust on scan head, poor bundled software

I purchased this scanner because I was not happy with the Canon IS-22. I had ton's of baby pictures to scan in and post on the web for the relatives around the country. I decided I needed a quality scaner that would be easy to use and make quick work of...

Pros: Ease of use, Quality of Scans, Price
Cons: A little Slow, Extra Steps to Use Photos in Different Programs

I have always wanted a scanner. Not because I really need one, but because it was a technical device that I did not yet own. I recently purchased the Canon CanoScan FB 620U (The "U" means that it is equipped with a USB Port....

Pros: sleek, great color scans, reasonable price
Cons: not so great black&white, no power switch

I was looking into purchasing an entry level scanner for home use. It's not like I need really high resolution anyway. I did some research on CNET, this scanner was ranked number 2 behind the Epson Perfection 610. The Epson looked rather big and...

Pros: Sleek and small. Produces very good quality pictures.
Cons: Not fast enough, and little bit noisy.

After returning the Mustek Plug-n-Scan which was supposed to be my Christmas Present, I ended up deciding to give the Canon scanner "Canoscan 620U", a try. I decided to buy it, since it was fairly a new product to the market and not much was...

Pros: Cheap, High Quality Scans, Low Low Price
Cons: none that I can think of

I was interested in getting a good scanner for a low price. I went on eBay and found a CanoScan FB 620U. After reading various reviews, I determined this was the scanner for me. It only cost me $70, which is cheaper than the going rate, but after...

Pros: Sleek design, Inexpensive, Easy to setup, CASH REBATE!
Cons: USB interface is slow, crooked scans, AOL-like software.

For me a scanner is more of a luxury than a necessity. I knew several people with scanners, and wanted to pick one up, but its not something I use very often, or really, REALLY need. Given that, I wanted something inexpensive, but not cheap. After...

Pros: Speed, small size, good quality
Cons: Still trying to find one

The Canon 620U can be easily found for well under $100, and it is worth every penny. The image quality is great, the software included with the package is powerful and useful, and (saving the best for last) it is FAST. The USB connection blazes, and...
