    I am your "Joe average" when it comes to computers. I found the Photo shop Elements 5, that Canon obliges me to use, difficult and time consuming to work with. Read more

    • It looks nice.
    • Will not work with Picasa. It allows you to load a "read only" file .

    Overall a very good scanner for home use and could support low volume business use. Scanner is very fast and included templates for slides and 35/70mm negatives makes those scans a snap. Read more

    • Easy Setup, Good Resolution, Widely Compatible
    • Poor Bit Depth

    • Extremely fast, easy to use. Results are excellent. However I use Photoshop elements 6.
    • The plastic to hold the 35MM film strip is a bit flimsy.
