Great scan quality and Fair price, just a bit big for my desk!
This scanner gives really amazing quality scans. I scanned an image of a wedding invitation (with ultra-spidery curly-Q type that was about 1/4 or less tall) and was able to blow up each letter to fill half my computer screen before I could even start to see the pixels. It was easy to instal and use, though it came with a few photo programs that I ended up installing before I realized I did not need them. Works quietly and quickly, and is very compatible with my Intel MacBook and Photoshop CS3. The only small complaint I have is that it is a bit larger than your average scanner; About 5" longer and it is at least 4" tall, so I did have to re-arrange my desk set-up. Overall, though, it was totally worth it! 2008-08-17
Great Scanner for slides
I have scanned over 600 slides so far and I have not had a single problem. I ordered this despite mixed reviews. I have not yet figured out how to scan negative strips with it- but... It also does a few other type of old negative/picture options also. It is a time consuming project to begin with, so the speed of the machine seems fine to me. It is not to slow (and definately not extremely fast). If I could get an extra slide adapter to load while the original one is scanning, it would be perfect!
I have a new model Mac computer... and the software installed perfectly and works flawlessly. The editing software included on the software is pretty great with lots of neat capabilities.
Thanks!

Good
works good but the features are not user friendly. A lot of Casing looks very cheap the adapter is not very compact, need a seperate power supply apart from the usb. 2008-08-09
Fantastic
This scanner is fantastic. The very first scan, using default settings, was flawless and detailed. It's quick. The film scanner feature works great. And you can't beat the price. 2008-08-08
Looking for a document scanner - get the Fujitsu S300
Since I didn't want to spend a fortune on a scanner I was debating for months whether to buy this Canon or one of the other models under $100. But as I mainly wanted it for documents, none of them seemed right. I recently stumbled on the Fujitsu Scansnap S300 - for $260 (there's also a model just for the Mac). After I blanched at the price, I read the reviews and took the plunge. If you're like me and mainly need a scanner for docs, this is the one. It is fabulous. I'm running Vista 32. Installiion is a snap. It is not a flatbed, but you can scan up to 12 docs at once, it scans both sides, and takes seconds. The included Organizer software is really easy to use. It's well worth the extra $. 2008-08-08
