CANON CanoScan 8800F

The Canon CanoScan 8800F flatbed scanner works well on both prints and film.

High-quality scans, particularly for prints. Backlight correction feature. LED light source eliminates warm-up time.

Scratch removal feature has little to no effect. Scans only four slides at a time.

Speed

Quality (Only a small disadvantage)

Quite fast and does high quality scans. I was pretty happy to find that the cover lifts off for oversize scans because I often scan in 18x24 images and link them in photoshop.

I find that it often cuts off parts of the scan when I bypass the preview.

Scanning has come a long way from the older umax scanner I had to this 8800F. So fast and easy it is wicked!

This review will differ somewhat from the other reviews which seem primarily focused on photo and film scanning. My primary use is in an office, though I also wanted a scanner good at photos and bought this one based on positive reviews in that regard.

None so far, I love this scanner. Have not yet scanned a photo (only documents) though so can't speak for that yet.
