 Canon LiDE100Nov 08, 2008
By Randle Blankenship
Bought this scanner to replace my failed Epson Perfection 1650. I like its compact size and quietness, and find the operating speed close to that of the 1650. The software is ok, and scanner operation is as convenient as that of the 1650, but there is less flexibility to allow altering color satuation, hue, etc. I found image sharpness disappointingly soft, and color saturation less than that of the original photo being copied. The overall effect is a somewhat faded, hazy image. Tried downloading and installing a fresh driver, but that didn't change this characteristic. After selecting USE SCANNER DRIVER on the operating panel, I was able to make selections that improved the image quality somewhat, but it is still not up to the performance of my previous scanner. Turning off the softening mask makes very little improvement. For me this scanner does not live up to previous glowing user reviews that helped decide this purchase.

 Great scanner for generic everyday jobsNov 08, 2008
By Jan Klier
I needed a scanner to scan an occasional document, receipt, or magazine page. Image quality needed to be decent and other than that I wanted a device that just did the job and didn't need a lot of hand-holding.
So far I'm satisfied to impressed. Take it out of the box, plug in the USB cable (big plus it doesn't add yet another power adapter to my setup), Windows Vista automatically detects and installs the driver and you're ready to go. I didn't even look at the software CD which comes with the scanner for the first week. The OS integrated driver is sufficient for the generic scans.
It's nice and small and lightweight, has a small locking slider for the lid on the bottom. So when I'm not scanning I simply unplug the USB port and it's easily stored on the shelf and not taking up valuable space.
The scan speed and image quality is good enough for my needs. I'm sure some folks may have a more detailed critique, but that wasn't what I'm looking for.
After eventually installing the software that came with it, the copy button on the front works fine. Push it and the software will scan and then send the result to the printer. Not a high volume copying solution, but if one makes a copy at home once in a blue moon and hates the trip to Kinko's this fits in well.
So if you're looking for a simple and reasonably priced scanning solution for occasional work, this is a great choice.

 Does the JobJan 23, 2009
By Pranay Khurana

This scanner is just fine for use at home, or if you need it in a small business, where you're scanning in a few pages a day.
It's definitely not a heavy duty model, and not the fastest, so don't expect it to be quick like the Xerox machines at Fedex Kinko's. Nor should you expect studio quality scans.
That being said, Canon has managed to keep the cost down, while delivering great image quality for the average user, so if you're looking for above-average quality scans in a slim package, this scanner is right for you.
Note: I do appreciate the scan-to-pdf option, which is great since PDF is portable across all operating systems.

Works Great and 4 at a time is AWESOME!Sep 19, 2008
By D. Eiler
I bought this with the intention of scanning old photos to jpg files. It works great! The software is just ok. But the greatest feature is that you can scan four pictures at once. It makes projects like mine a breeze. I can also see myself using this for other things.
Great product at a great price!

Great buy for the money....Feb 18, 2009
By Catphishum

Pros: very easy to setup. buttons on front work as advertised, as long as the software is installed. Nice image quality from scans. VERY LOW power consumption (i think it consumes 2 full watts when scanning). No External power supply needed.
Cons: 24 second scanning is a little much for this day and time. I know it is a higher resolution, but still. A full scan should take less than 10 seconds in 2009. Other than this, it would be five star.
Overall: For a general use scanner, I really doubt you could beat this one. It is inexpensive, compact, does the job well, and uses very little energy. What more could you ask for?

One Year Update - the scanner is still functioning great. After using it for a year, I will say that the MP Navigator software is not that special, and could be a little easier to use for the average home user. I have recently just been using Acrobat Std. to import scanned documents as PDFs as it is quicker and will a pretty good job @ OCR. Still four out of five stars.
