Canon CanoScan LiDE 30 scanner

"This is a really good scanner for home use..."

"It is good for scanning postcards and pictures to preserve them as digital images after cleaning the edges up a little in a picture editor..."

"This scanner is also good for scanning all those old recipe and newspaper clippings so they can be saved off on disc..."

"The scans are good quality (I'm no professional, It is a little slow, if you do a lot of heavy scanning, you probably want a faster scanner, but for the casual user, this should be all the scanner you'll ever need..."

"Bottom line, I'm glad I took my time to test these machines..."

"So anyway, the scan quality on this thing kicks butt, as long as you don't expect the quality of a high-end machine or a drum..."

"Small, cheap, ok scan quality, occasional success with the 3-photo scan feature Slow, limited resolution, and poor overall performance of the 3-photo scan feature..."

"USB bus powered, worked good in linux Mac driver awful, no free software Summary: I purchased this scanner a little over a year ago, and was using it on a WinXP workstation..."

"Lightweight, no external power support needed, great customer..."

"Very slim design, stand included, good to very good quality, all-around useful Slow scans, machine is loud, not very Mac OSX compatible I had to trade my old Visioneer Paper Port scanner when I upgraded my Dell computer to my new IMac (you..."

"Astecitally pleasing design - Easy to use - Great price - High quailty scans - Z-Lid, for scanning thick media - Slow..."

"It uses a red green and blue LED instead of the conventional photo-receptors, which makes the LiDE 30 much thinner than some comparable scanners..."

"Overall, this is a good deal for the money..."

"This scanner works well has good colour is fairly simple to operate, could use a little more speed however..."

"The image quality seems very good, but as I said before, I am not working with photos, so it does not have to be the greatest, as long as it is legible..."

"Results were good IF the entire photo was in intimate contact with the glass scan surface..."
