 I love this scanner! September 14, 2008
This product is a great scanner at a great price! The only complaint that I have is that I had to wait over the weekend to get it :-) Really though, my wife and I scanned in over 25 pictures in a hour and that included touching them up in the software that was provided with the scanner.
Mentioning the software, I will say that it is a little cumbersome to use, but heck for $80 what do you expect. Heck spend a little more and get photo-shop or something like that and you will be able to scan into it as well, or just capture in the software provided and then switch into photo-shop and complete the touch-up.
Forgot to mention: This was all ran on XP not Mac some of the reviews for mac say the software sucks, but heck Mac comes with great photo software, so use I would use that instead. It is TWAIN compliant so it should work with any software that is twain compliant. However the buttons at the front, such as the photo button, may not work as you would like in other software. However, I do not know for sure as I was able to do what I needed with the software provided.
Also, the USB power feature is nice; consequently, I did not have to worry about losing a power pack "AKA: wall wart" or worse yet plugging in the wrong one and frying the scanner! That is why I had to buy a new one!
 Good for basics, but not high-end work September 6, 2008
This scanner is fine for basic scanning needs of documents and photo copies, but I wouldn't recommend for high-end professional work. I use it to make & keep document copies for my home files.
Warning: Set-up was very difficult, even for my husband who is Technology Director at his company. Poor directions & little if no online answers at Canon. He did manage to dig deep enough to get the thing going, but it wasn't an easy "plug-n-play".
Excellent Value August 28, 2008
The quality and ease of use that you get with this product makes it a no-brainer. It also comes with intuitive text recognition software, which is an incredible added value and has been very useful. The resolution and color depth is fantastic, and it integrates seamlessly with Photoshop CS3. I HIGHLY recommend this product!
This is actually my second scanner in this series, I purchased an older model in 2003 and it still works like the day I bought it. I'm expecting the same durability from this model, but can't attest to that yet!
Also, mac users-- this scanner WILL work with your mac, whether you have photoshop or not! I'm still on Tiger and it works fine, my coworker (whom I share the scanner with) is on Leopard, and it works fine on hers as well.

Works fine with my Mac Book Pro. I like the email button that attaches it automatically... if you have started an email in entourage and then decide to scan something to attach, this email button automatically attaches the .pdf to the open email. Slick. Powered through USB cable is very nice too.
Good scanner after setup problems August 6, 2008
I like this scanner but had problems setting it up with Windows Vista. The box indicates that only one of the bundled software programs was Vista compatible, but the box is probably out of date, because I am now running all of the bundled software. It is very important that you 1) install the software 1st, 2) restart your computer, 3) plug the scanner in, 4) start the software. I tried starting the software without plugging the scanner first, and it gave an error message. I thought this was a Vista compatibility issue, but in fact I just didnt get the sequence of steps in the right order. There is no explanation of what the different programs are for, so it is confusing because there is a lot of overlap. A lot of trial and error involved. The main program Navigator EX from Canon is the best of the bunch. I love that I can scan 4 photos (4x6) simultaneously and the software automatically crops and rotates them and saves them individually, then asks you if you want to scan more. It makes scanning a collection of film photos very easy. The quality seems good, though any black areas of the photos show a LOT of dust. The one touch feature does not make things any easier - you should just scan from the main window.
