Granderson First I would like to say that all of you who are buying this scanner as your first are spoiled rotten! My last scanner was purchased about four years ago and served me well. Still works but I decided to upgrade becuase it's quality isn't up to par with my needs anymore. THough it was long ago, I still vividly recall the three days it took to get it, the scsi card, and the drivers all working happily together.This scanner on the other hand had a step by step guide that had me up and running in only two minutes, no joke, didn't even have to reboot.The quality is great. The color balance is excellant, incredibly sharp, and no artifacts or saw edges of any kind. The saturation seemed a little low at defualt so I tinkered with the settings some to get it where wanted.Another big bonus is the film scanner. I've seen other scanners that seem to have rough "quick and dirty" adapters and so forth but this scanner is truly optimized for the purpose. It has a light built into the lid, instead of a mirror system, to ensure balanced light. The image from negative scans is a little soft, I assume that this is cuased by the slight bends in the film. Its not hardly noticable unless studied side by side with a print. The startling aspect is the color. It is extremly vivid. I was rather shocked when I looked at some picures of a past vacation. The perfect color brought back realism that was lacking from the print which was color balanced by a lab technician.I'm looking forward to using the film scanning function for professional purposes but I would also like to point out that is is a very handy feature even for just home use. I'm sure that some of you are like me, with boxes of negatives in the closet and prints scattered to the far ends of the earth. Instead of paying expessive lab fees for all 10,000 of them to processed, I can just browse through them, scanning the ones that look ineteresting and emailing some to buddies. 27 of 27 people found the following review helpful. Piece of Cake By A Customer I bought this scanner because of its low price and features. What I really wanted was a good basic level slide/negative scanning capability at the lowest cost, and this scanner fits the bill well. Nothing could be easier than setting up this scanner--took all of 10 minutes (from opening the box to plugging it all in to loading software to actually scanning an image). Operation is very simple--put photo on platen, push button, follow on-screen prompts. I've found the software packages very useful. Those looking for batch slide scanning will find no such capability here, and if you have a stack of negatives to go through, plan on taking some time. However, you can't beat the capability of this scanner for the money.Also, tracking my purchase through Amazon.com was excellent--all the info you could want about where in the pipeline your purchase is at any given moment. They said 5-7 days, it arrived in 3. Great Job. 37 of 39 people found the following review helpful. Excellent, Excellent scanner. By STEPHEN J. SMITH This scanner was a replacement for my Mustek 1200 that I had recently bought and was dissatisfied with the quality of output. The Canon D660U, though not as fast as the Epson Expression 636 I use at work, has better output quality. This scanner is PERFECT for my home and business needs. The ability to scan 35mm slides and negatives is an added plus. Although I still use Adobe Photoshop to edit all my graphics, the software that comes with the D660U is every bit as good. The included Ceare Omnipage OCR software is top notch. This is an easy to use, high quality scanner package that everyone should be happy with. See all 22 customer reviews...
