Everything I had hoped forI was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews, especially since I have an Apple laptop. I am so glad that I didn't listen to them. I recieved this item yesterday and I couldn't wait to get started on scanning some of my old pictures. I got it out of the box, installed the software and it was off and running. The install was really easy. I put the pictures on the scanner, pressed the scan button and they popped up on the computer screen. It took me a couple of tries to figure out how close or how far the pictures could be for the scanner to detect that they were different pictures. That is the feature that sold me the scanner. I love that I can put 3-4 regular sized photos on their and it automatically creates seperate files for them. This scanner is honestly worth double the cost, but I am so glad that I didn't have to pay it to get all of the amazing things this scanner has to offer. If you are on the fence about buying this, just do it, you will be so glad that you did!

Great Support, but dead on arrivalTo make a long story short, I ordered the 9000F as a companion to my brand-new Pixma Pro printer. The printer arrived a day before the scanner, and set up very easily. But the agony started when the 9000F arrived: I wasted almost a day trying to solve a "communications" problem between the scanner and my PC. It was an insidious problem because the scanner "partially" communicated (i.e. it was recognized and installed by Windows automatically, giving the impression that it was communicating. The "auto scan" button also communicated with the PC). Hence I thought I was close to solving the problem and spent a lot of time with Canon support trying to make it work. (By the way, I found Canon support to be excellent, if not outstanding. I used both live conversation and email while working the issue). This is not my first PC rodeo, and we tried unloading/loading drivers, updating drivers, msconfig changes, TWAIN_32 stuff, etc.
But the bottom line was that Canon eventually decided it was a defective unit, so I sent it back to Amazon. I still have a nagging suspicion that we might have missed some sort of exotic problem, but when I stepped back I realized it was unacceptable to have to spend this effort to install something this simple. Maybe it was defective, and if so, that too is unacceptable.
Since I have been a Canon SLR fan from way back, I may be crazy enough to order an 8000-series Canon scanner, for one last try. My advice to others is to spend no more than 30-60 minutes trying to solve a "communications" problem if they encounter one with a CanoScan. After an hour, box 'er up and hightail it to UPS.

A Great Scanner for OCRI bought the CanoScan 8800F as an upgrade from my trusty CanoScan 4400F which I used for several years as part of a system that converts text to speech, as a reading aid for my low vision. I often scan a hundred or more pages at a time, and the procedure is highly repetitive; I hoped the 8800F would make the process go faster. As soon as I connected the scanner and made the first few scans, I knew I had made a good choice.
The 8800F has two advantages over the 4400F that I noticed immediately. First, there is no warm-up time for the light source in the 8800F. The 4400F has a cold fluorescent bulb that takes about 30 seconds to warm up when it is cold, and if it sits for a few minutes it does another short warm up before it will scan. The 8800F, on the other hand, has an LED light source that requires no warm up at all. The 4400F leaves its light source on for 12 minutes after a scan (this time is adjustable) to shorten the warm up time, whereas the 8800F shuts its light source off after each scan. Second, the 8800F scans faster than the 4400F. It seems to be about twice as fast, though I have not measured the scan times. These two advantages enable me to be about 50% more productive with the 8800F than with the 4400F, which makes the 8800F worth the higher price.
The two scanners have the same size platen (scanning surface) that takes document sizes up to A4. Most of my scanning is of books, and most of the time I can lay the book flat and scan two pages at once, though for larger books I am only able to scan a single page at a time. It would be nice to find a scanner that can accommodate larger formats, but I did not find one among the consumer scanners that I examined.
The 8800F has a power button, which the 4400F does not. Both scanners have the same buttons that you can use to initiate various scan operations. I never use these, as I always control scans through the software. On the 8800F the buttons are on the top rather than on the front, as for the 4400F, where I would often bump them with my arm, causing a flurry of dialogs to open on the screen.
The basic software user interface is the same for both scanners and consists of two applications that work together: ArcSoft PhotoStudio 5.5 and Canon Scan Gear. PhotoStudio is a combination image editing and scanner control program. It calls Scan Gear to do each scan and accumulates scanned images which you can edit and save. The 8800F comes with several utilities which I haven't used, and also comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 and 5.0.
If you do a lot of OCRing, as I do, avoid the ScanSoft OmniPage SE application that comes with the scanner. It is old and extremely buggy. I used it after I bought the 4400F and was in OCR hell for a year until I wised up and bought the latest version of OmniPage Professional, which seemed like magic after that. OmniPage can integrate with Scan Gear, which improves scanning efficiency for OCR operations. I also tried ReadIris 11, but it had a peculiar bug that duplicated letters in OCR'd text. ReadIris technical support never responded to my query about that.
The 8800F has lots of other capabilities that I have not tried yet. I understand that it shines as a photo, slide and negative scanner. I don't know if there is a better scanner out there, but the 8800F suits me very well.

Great!Great little device I had the task of putting my mothers slide shows to disk - I was able to duplicate over 1000 35 MM slides in just a few hours /day over a few days.
It makes accurate copies of the slides - which I edited with VISTA - I am sure with a better editor the picures could even get better.
Keep the light table clean and for really important pictures clean the slides per the instructions.
I even used the negative mode a little bit, - Since the negatives were subject to much less abuse and less dirt picture quality was much better - but more time comsuming to use.
Great little device I would reccommend to any one converting slides to digital.

Amazingly small, low power, good results, and LED based!I'm not an expert when it comes to judging image quality-so while I'm giving the LiDE210 a great score, I'm not 100% sure if it's image results are as good, worse, or better than comparable relatively high end consumer scanners. I can say the results look good, and so far look the same (to me) as a high end HP model from a few years ago that I use at work.
I was shocked by how small the scanner's box is-in fact I thought maybe I'd accidentally ordered something that would only scan photos. Amazed again when I pulled the scanner out of the box...although it accepts full size papers (and it looks like legal sized too, although I haven't tested any yet) it's easily less than half the size of my HP from work. While it still takes up a decent amount of space on a desk (since it has to be big enough for the scanner bed to accept full size papers), it still somehow feels like it fits in better than older scanners.
Also amazing...it doesn't use a power supply. It pulls all its power over the USB bus from the computer it's connected to...it apparently only draws 2.5 watts while in use, which to me is amazing. Not having a power brick helps make the unit feel smaller too (and means it isn't using power when the computer is off).
The small size and low power use are presumably the result of using LEDs (apparently tri-color) instead of florescent tubes like older scanners use. Another benefit-no mercury or UV radiation.
I was also pleased to discover that even on XP, I was able to use it out of the box without installing the included software. Windows Update found the driver for it, and it was working with Windows' built-in software within a few seconds. (Though I think it's probably better to install the included software to get access to all it's features.)
It's small, seems to give good results, and hardly uses any power...so far seems like a great choice!

Scanner tainted by bad software implementation(OSX Review - but PC owners should also be aware this could be applicable to them as well)
On the scanning side, it's a solid choice - there are really only a couple of caveats to be aware of before jumping in and buying one.
1. The software installation for Mac OSX is a nightmare. (Also see: #3) Not only does it take an extremely long time - but you cannot just start the install, leave and expect it to run. It has multiple components that each require license agreements to approve and multiple stages of permissions and selections - repeated checking of tick boxes - OK, Approve, Yes, Install etc. on and on and on. This is really annoying and could be consolidated into one global install if they were so inclined - but instead they put the burden directly on the customer. We didn't time it but it seemed like 30 minutes of babysitting to install everything! (Probably more like 15)
2. Sneaky unwanted passenger aboard! (STAY TUNED - SOLUTION BELOW!) This one took a very long time to track down - with a team of experts... Along with the software install in OSX, one is going to receive a new, constant, unwanted, and unknown flow of CONSTANT outgoing data activity on one's network. Most people will not be watching their network data activity - but should for sake of security. This behaves just like a trojan or a hacker on your network taking something off of your computer in tiny bits - bit by bit. Epson will probably tell everyone it's harmless, and needed for some of their functions to stay "active". But anytime there is unknown data streaming out of your computer 24/7 without your knowledge or permission, it's just a huge red flag in our opinions.
3. In the hunt to track down the offending data transmitting problem mentioned above - we ran the UnInstaller. Thankfully this was a simple one step process - or so we thought. At first - it seemed like Epson was off the hook for causing the problem - since their software was now UnInstalled... but that would be WRONG! It seems the UnInstaller only removes *some* of the the software the Installers added - NOT ALL OF IT. Upon further inspection - there were two Epson folders remaining with 2 applications still installed and running... including the offending one which was causing all the problems - Epson Event Manager. Since the UnInstaller couldn't remove it - we had to use a 3rd party uninstaller utility (App Zapper) to clean it off of the system, and then trash the remaining folders. UnInstalling Event Manager solved the problems.
Resolution - Upon further inspection and research, Epson Event Manager by default, installs with a live "Network Scan" parameter switched ON.
Turning OFF "Enable Network Scan" stops this unwanted flow of outbound data from happening.
Knowing this - Our advice is to install the software and immediately turn OFF "Enable Network Scan" in Event Manager. Turn it ON only when you need to use it, and your network traffic will be otherwise normal.
We would still buy this scanner again - just wish this information were clearly disclosed up front, as it took days of detective work to deduce where the installed network leak was coming from. Even Epson's own Tech Support were baffled.
Shipping it with ONE Installer for everything, a FULL Uninstaller, and Network Scan OFF by default, would fix everything.
NOTE - This issue is applicable to MANY Epson products - not just this one scanner. Many owners of Epson printers also have reported this concern. Anything that installs Epson Event Manager for OSX is likely to exhibit the identical behaviors. (PC owners should also be aware this could be applicable to them as well)
