This review of the Canon CanoScan N650U examines its Pros and Cons and compares it to a less expensive scanner, the Visioneer 4400USB. I will also explain the differences between the various Canon scanner models (the N650U, N656U, N1200U, D660U,...

Cons: My cat likes to sleep on it.

After getting a new computer system that wouldn't support my four year old scanner I decided it was time to start looking for a new one. I didn't do any research ahead of time, I was just looking for an inexpensive USB scanner that would run on Windows...

Pros: Easy to use, great results.
Cons: It comes with no photo software

Setup
The set up time is less than five minutes, that is if you have an extra USB port. Simple plug in, slide in the cd and you are on your way. The simple one button touch sets the machine in action. Within the first fifteen...

After returning a UMAX scanner ($29) because it had crashed my entire computer and I had to reload my operating system, I decided to buy something a bit better than a $29 scanner, so I got this CanoScan 650U.

The main attraction of this...

Pros: Obviously very small. USB is your power source and connectivity! Cool software.
Cons: Speed. Better OCR software.

They don't get much smaller. On the airplane, this is my conversation piece. The 656 is the same exact model as the 650 but the 656 is a cool metallic color lke chrome! They charge you $30 more for the deluxe paint job.

The unit comes with...

Pros: easy installation, great pictures
Cons: nothing

WHY DID I BUY THIS SCANNER

I decided to buy a new scanner because my2 yr old scanner died last fall. I managed to live without it, for a few months but I broke down and bought a new one. I went to Best Buy and I was determined to get...

Pros: great quality, speed, low profile, USB power
Cons: none. absolutely none.

I admit it. I was suckered into this scanner because of the great price I got on it. At Best Buy, where I seem to be spending more and more time these days, the Men In Blue tried to talk me into getting one a bit beefier than the CanoScan, but I...

Pros: Compact, high resolution, one-touch scanning
Cons: ?

Living overseas with family stateside makes for sharing information and updates kind of difficult. I didn't want to have our pictures developed, and then pay another 5 dollars everytime to get the photos on disc so that I could send photos of our kids...

Pros: Great scans from a thin, attractive unit; powered by USB port.
Cons: Only scans flat surfaces well

The CanoScan N650U (I had the silver-gray N656U) is a small-footprint, very thin scanner. Since I am interested in reducing the amount of cables that I have, I was attracted to it by the fact that it did not need to be plugged into the wall - the USB...

Pros: Thin, inexpensive, easy to use
Cons: Not exactly rugged

The first thing one notices about this scanner is that it's about the size of a really thin notebook computer. Peek under the lid, and you'll see that it's basically empty, save for a few rather delicate-looking moving parts. Whereas miniaturization...

Pros: Small(1.3" high) and sleek; one usb cable provides power/connection; good scan quality
Cons: Scanner could be faster; scans tend to have slightly lighter colors

As a college student about to go into a dorm, I wanted to get a scanner that was small and that wouldn't take up much space. My first thought was the Canoscan line, as they are extremely small (dimensions are 10.1" x 14.7" x 1.3") and use a single usb...

Pros: Portability, Good resolution, Price, Easy to use, Scanning Speed
Cons: Color quality, Kind of noisy while scanning

At this very moment I'm remembering exactly my first scanner. It was a handheld that I bought for almost $200. At that time, having a scanner was a too expensive tool to own, but definitely I was having a good time scanning everything I found on my way...

Pros: Great quality; easy to set up; Great price, small size
Cons: Doesn't work with NT4,

I finally did it. I've been wanting to get a scanner for so long, I almost gave up hope of getting one. But as I didn't get one for Christmas again, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I bought the Canon CanoScan N650U this morning. It's an...

Pros: Small, fast, inexpensive
Cons: Resolution is only okay

Remember the days of the big bulky scanners that took over your whole desk? Well this scanner is hoping to make those days distant memories.

One of the biggest selling points of this scanner is it's size - it's only around an inch and a half...
