Most helpful customer reviews 69 of 70 people found the following review helpful. Considered the Epson 3170, got this for photos, and happy! By Saurin Canon has some fantastic optics for photo scanning. So does Epson. I wanted to scan photos every now and then and maybe archive old photos, so great photo optics was important. Canon, known for great digital cameras, has the same quality in the scanners. Why this over the 3170? This is half the price, smaller (about 1/3 in height), and looks great. It fit about 4 4x6 photos on the scanner, use the multi-scan at 600 dpi and works fine. Sometimes though, I think the autocropping could be better. It took all of 5 minutes to set up and use. It does not need a separate power adapter as it uses the USB for power. Its quiet and fast. I have done over 600 scans so far. Works like a charm. Its so fast, I can scan about 75 to 100 pictures an hour! 51 of 51 people found the following review helpful. A "best" entry level scanner almost substitutes for copier. By Shock Writer I am a private user with no Cannon affiliation. This is a fine product that I hope lasts for years. The scanner and software are a tremendous value for the money. While this is not a full blown professional scanner it is great for what it was made for: getting printed data onto your computer quickly, easily, and cheaply while substituting somewhat for a copy machine and doing some graphics work. The included CanoScan Toobox software makes the scanner do simple functions with ease. Copy Timing & Quality: I love the copy directly to printer function. You can shrink and enlarge by 25% to 400% or custom % size. The 75-300 dpi setting works fine but the 600 dpi copy function locks up my system and is too slow and the files are too big for my liking anyway - a switch to the HP print language driver away from the HP postscript driver on my HP4500 color laser printer seems to have fixed this problem. For most quick copy non critical uses the fast 150 dpi setting is fine though text picks up a slightly "blocked up" or "bold" look with fat edges. 300 dpi gives a more normal looking copy. A 150 dpi scan to "copy" in color (color scan looks better even for black and white images in my experience) takes about 15 seconds from start to being dropped on my print spooler. A 300 dpi takes about 30 seconds. Reasonable times compared to most cheap home copiers I've used but not blazingly fast. You have to add your printer's print time to get the total time to make a copy. The copy quality is almost up to a regular copy machine but not quite unless maybe you spend time tweaking the settings. There is a tendency to get a slightly gray rather than white margin with the 150dpi copy that seems to go away on the 300 dpi copy. This could also be due to a smaller bulb in this small scanner verses the larger bulbs in normal copy machines. As I say with some adjustments to the software and at 300 dpi it usually goes away but I just want to automatically copy without adjustments. Buy a dedicated Cannon copy machine if that is what you need and they are reported to me to be better than other brands during this time of "sell it before it brakes" trash office products that are presently available in the mass selling office stores. File Size: The scan to "copy" function has a jpg file that is rather large and might print slow on some systems. I wish I could adjust the jpg quality level to my desires in speed and quality. 150dpi color gets a decent, fast, scan to printer for a quick copy function and size of about 5-6 meg, 300 dpi is half as fast (makes sense) and much larger in jpg (20-24 meg). The 24 meg is a slow print even from my postscript HP 4500 color laser. The scan to "file" (pdf) makes smaller files maybe only 10% of the size of jpgs from the "copy" function in my experience. The pdf is more efficient. The scan to "email" jpg file function uses a more compressed version of jpg that makes a good looking mailable image and allows you to limit
