After having read various reviews on this and other slide/negative scanners, I am glad we decided to get this Canon, it is amazing, speedwise as well as quality, not to mention satisfactory price!

The scanner was easy to set up and use. The quality is pretty good. You can scan negatives at a ridiculous resolution, but it takes a lot of time and disc space. The templates used to hold the negatives is cheap plastic. That and I couldn't scan negatives from a disc camera (I know - not mine). Otherwise, a good deal for the money.

Had been thinking about a scanner for months to catalog and save pictures that accumulated over the years. Was asked to make a collage for a friend's birthday as a surprise and was given a tub of pictures - some from as early as the 1940s. Since we didn't want to damage the originals, and the cost of a camera shoppe was exhorbitant, I bit the bullet (quickly) and ordered this scanner. I am not fond of the software. But the results exceeded expectations. I scanned each photo individually and printed them on a HP Color Laser Jet 4700 at my office. Even 50 year old 2 x 3 prints looked great when printed 8x10 - no pixalation was evident.
I haven't tried scanning with negatives yet, but know that the quality of old photos will retained if properly scanned.

I give the product a 4 out of 5 overall star rating primarily for it's scanning quality/capability and flexibility particularly when you consider the price point at which it is offered. It doesn't get that additional 1 star due to some of it's shortcomings. Even at the 4/5 rating, it is an excellent product - esp. when you consider what comperable flatbed scanners or specialized slide/negative scanners cost.
Product was purchased primarily to scan in old slides and prints. The quality of scanned images from slides were excellent. The ability to scan in 4 slides at a time using the provided template is very handy. I was pleasantly surprised at the resolution of each scan of each individual frame. At the highest resolution setting, the scan time is quite long but yields details not seen by the naked eye (e.g. every spec of dirt on the original slide is 'faithfully' captured - for that reason it is suggested that users make sure your slides/negatives are carefully cleaned before scanning). When printing to common 4" x 6" sized paper, lower resolution is probably sufficient and reduces scan times. Higher/highest resolution is recommended for larger prints - e.g. 8.5" x 11".
When scanning prints, CanoScan is very adept at detecting the number of prints on the glass surface (4 maximum) including correcting for misalignment - i.e. prints do not have to be 'perfectly' square on the surface, the software recognizes if/when a print is misaligned and makes the proper orientation correction (though if the glass surface had been exactly 8.5" wide and 11" long, it would have made print placement much easier - as it is, some care needs to be exercised so prints are not cut off when scanned). The resolution of print scans is a bit disappointing. It had been hoped that it would scan as well as it scans slides but the maximum resolution appears to be 600 DPI. A very useful feature of the software is that when multiple prints (4 maximum) are scanned in at the same time, the software optionally detects and discerns individual images and saves them into separate files.
The software's user interface design is perhaps not the most intuitive but once learned it is acceptable. It saves scanned images in .BMP format in temporary folder of user's choice. Before saving to permanent location in some alternate format (e.g. GIF, JPG, etc.), scanned images may be rotated or mirrored (handy when slides are inadvertently improperly oriented) in their native format while still in preview mode. The most annoying aspect of the software, amongst others, is that it is not very flexible in allowing the user to select wider ranging file names.
The product is very energy efficient - 18W scan mode, 1.5W idle mode. The use of LED does make the product turn on faster, less costly for long term standby, and less likelihood of incurring problems with the light source - both top and bottom.
CANON decided to use a clumsy fat cable to connect the lid/cover to the base. It is unfortunate CANON did not use an integrated flat ribbon cable instead that would not otherise get snagged. The lid/cover stays firmly in place when opened 90 degrees - at least while new. Over time my concern is that it may not stay in place which would make it difficult to use when negotiating slides/negatives/prints and may be difficult/costly to tighten up.
The product accepts and is capable of scanning up to 8.5" x 11" source material (it is unclear why the glass surface is larger than that). For that reason, the product may be considered somewhat large and bulky. It sits 4" high as well. Given its inherent bulky nature, it is unfortunate that CANON did not design it so it might accommodate legal sized documents up to 14" long - an additional 3" would not have made too much difference.
