Very good basic scanner, but scanning results are variable
|
Pro: extremely lightweight - I've carried it on multiple occasions to the Library of Congress to use in research projects there (yes, they allow researchers to use scanners - and digicams too!), low price (I bought mine for $40), easy to use, Canon's specially designed cover that allows you to scan books and other such material much more easily than many other brands, sturdy and durable (I forget how many thousands of pages I've scanned over the last three years or so, but it's still going strong!)
Con: The results of scanning can occasionally be variable, especially if you're using an older OS like Windows 98 (the version of Canon's scanner software for Win98 requires you to calibrate the scanner periodically in order to keep the quality of the scans up). If you're not careful to set things up properly, you can get blurry or crooked scans. To be honest, though, that's a risk I'd say you'd run with just about every scanner. The glass/platen is recessed into the body of the scanner, which some others have complained makes it difficult to impossible to scan oversized items. In point of fact, I don't find this to be a problem, as long as the item in question is smaller than the total scanning field; you can maneuver the original image so as to fit within the scanning area. Also, the WinXP software doesn't seem to be as customizable as the Win98 software.
These are relatively minor shortcomings, though, especially when stacked up against the multiplicity of good things about this scanner. On balance, I really, really like this scanner and, together with the excellent PIXMA 1500 printer I've had since '05, I currently have a very high opinion of Canon PC peripherals. I'm actually even considering buying a second one so that I don't have to remove the current one from my desktop system next time I go to the Library of Congress. :)
