Canon CanoScan N1220U Flatbed Scanner

Pros: Power, lightweight, USB, ease of use and installation
Cons: Don't waste time trying it under Windows 95

Even the packaging was small!
This scanner is thin and lightweight but no lightweight when it comes to scanning. 1200 x 2400 dpi, excellent reproduction. Be warned though that it defaults to lower resolution which is fine for most applications. Set...

Pros: slim, light, single cable
Cons: USB only

When I first opened the box, I was astonished at how slim and light the scanner is. How could Canon possibly make a quality scanner so sleek? Even though the scanner is very small and light, it is not flimsy. The construction is actually good...

Pros: Excellent quality, small size, easy to use
Cons: Technology is not the best for higher end scanning

Canon is known for it's quality imaging products, and this scanner does not disappoint. The home user will find a lot to like about this little machine!

One of the nicest and most unique features of Canon's scanners is the size - this...

Pros: Excellent color reproduction, high image quality
Cons: Won't accommodate legal paper for copying

We purchased this scanner after being tired of the poor accuracy of color reproduction of an older non-name brand model. We frequently scan in photos of our daughter and print them on photo paper for relatives, and of course we wanted our little girl to...

Pros: small and lightweight. Excellent picture quality. Multi-function button is very useful.
Cons: Slow scan speed for high quality imaging.

I've had this scanner for 3 years now, and have been very pleased with it. The image quality is excellent. I like how small and light the scanner is- it takes up no space on my desk (you can even store it sideways). I've used it for web publishing,...

Pros: Color quality, Speed, Design
Cons: OCR package

This scanner has to be the ultimate one. It produces the best color quality that I have ever seen. I have used various scanners and this one tops them all. I love the fact that it has only one cable. Look behind my desk and you will see why. The...

Pros: Space Saving Design, Fast, Easy to Use.
Cons: None.

Like a 16-year old boy, I wondered if Mrs. Right would ever
come along. Sort of. Not really caring Who but kind of
looking them all over.....

...

Pros: Great quality, fast, cool looks
Cons: Power by USB could be big disadvantage for weaker power sources

I've worked with a lot of affordable-range scanners, and till now this is the best. First, it's this new Canon technology, from which all the advantages derive. You'll first be attracted by its cool looks: extra slim, metalic color, really light weight....

Pros: Great scanning of all things. High resolution
Cons: Minor scanning imperfections

This scanner is so compact. Most of the books I have are bigger than the scanner. Z-lid expansion helps scan bulky items such as big books and other irregular shape items. It is high resolution (1200 dpi) with 42 bit. It is also USB powered, so there...

Pros: Very Slim Design - TAKE IT ANYWHERE, USB POWERED, EASY SETUP, USB CABLE, MODERATE SPEED
Cons: Little on the slow side of scanning, Had to Download a Win2k Driver

Pros: Slim, beautiful design. Power and signal through single USB cable.
Cons: Somewhat slow for power users

They say you can never be too rich, or too thin. Well, regardless of how you feel about that adage, Canon seemed to have taken it to heart when designing the CanoScan N1220U. It’s about as thin as they come, barely taller than a stack of 3 WIRED...

Pros: VERY SLIM!!! Easy to use durable.
Cons: Only uses USB. But, what scanner now doesn't?

I bought a Canonscan N1200U scanner to go with my camera, as I thought that it would be cheaper to buy a scanner, than a whole new digicam.
Why Canon?
Well, I have a Canon camera, so why not? The scanner was said to have 1200 by 2400 dpi...

Pros: Great design, fast and accurate scans, easy installation
Cons: Price, flimsy USB plug

My old 300 DPI scanner has been collecting dust in the corner for almost a year. When I built my new system last summer, I just didn't want to take the time to setup and install an obsolete scanner, which, at best, gave me marginal quality scans.
...

Pros: easily storable
Cons: none so far

I told my parents that I needed a scanner for college, so they bought me one. I found this and loved it because it was flat and silver. It is so flat that it fits in my small desk drawer, it doesn't take up desk space. It is so easy to use too. All...

Pros: Small footprint
Cons: Still none after 7yrs

UPDATE- 10 Dec 07 - Just hooked up the old CanoScan to the new Acer Laptop with Vista home basic. I had to manually extract the drivers (Vista kept giving me errors about needing some device overwrite permission), pointed the program file where to look ...
