Summary: Was just too easy to set up!
Review: After having nothing but trouble with the HP 5300 ScanJet, I returned and bought this one, I couldn't believe all you have to do is hook in the usb cable install the software and boom you're scanning. I'm not that great at computer, learning as I go. But this thing is great. Still learning the software, and playing (that's why only 4 stars).

Summary: sleek, slow and very good quality
Review: Beware before buying!!! I purchase this scanner a little over a year ago. It broke down in four months. After 4 one hour phone calls to thier tech. line, long distance (customer pays), they couldn't solve the problem. Then after dealing with customer service and another 4 phone calls they finally replaced the scanner.
Four months later again.... it broke. Several more phone calls to thier tech. center and 5 letters to the customer service and CEO they finally replaced it again.
WARNING- do not buy this scanner without an extended warrenty. I have had nothing but grief with it and Canon's represenitves!!!!
They are now refunding my money in full! However I have spent countless hours on the phone, writing letters, trips to the post office for shipping, buying uneeded parts they recomended, and money, to recieve the help required!

Summary: Superior Canon!
Review: Canon has made a wonderful product that is both elegant and functional. It is very simple to install and operate. For the price here at Amazon and the features packaged you can't go wrong. I researched and shopped around before deciding on this product and I'm not disappointed. Whether you scan photos or text documents the available software allows you to convert to whatever program you prefer. Also, the size of this scanner is simply amazing! Canon has made a superior product!

Summary: Perfect! A standard-bearer in consumer electronics!
Review: Functionally, the scanner is mind-bogglingly simple to operate. The software is completely intuitive and activates itself when you hit the start button on the scanner. Once you have scanned your image, the PhotoShop clone software opens itself and your editing can begin. This software, PhotoStudio, is very easy to use at a beginner's level. If you've used Adobe PhotoShop (which software is ALSO INCLUDED with the scanner!), you will find PhotoStudio very simple to use. Probably my favorite feature is that the scanner DOES NOT REQUIRE ITS OWN POWER SOURCE! If you're like me, you already have your fair share of power cords strung all over your desk, and your power strip probably already has a "no vacancy" sign hung on its door. The scanner has just one cord - the USB cord that runs from the scanner to your PC. I love this machine. Its output is high quality, it is amazingly easy to use, it is very affordable, and it isn't a space hog either in terms of the unit itself or cord-wise. A definite A+++++ in my book.

Summary: Canon N1220U Scanner
Review: Good scanner when it's working. I have had nothing but problems with the software under Windows 2000. One day it will be working, the next day "Unable to open TWAIN source." Countless times unconnecting/reconnecting, unloading/reloading the software yields occasional success. Canon tech support is useless. Good hardware without good software is pointless. This scanner/software is nothing but frustration.

Summary: This thing is great
Review: Great for scanning pictures! Easy to use, slick, thin, beautiful. Absolutely no problems. Highly recommended.

Summary: bought, hated, returned
Review: Had another scanner for years it died. I bought the cannon, had it for 3 hours, scanned two pictures, and when I pushed the button for the third, the scan function was lost forever. Reloaded the software worked for an hour and the scan function was lost again. When it did scan the colors reproduced were not natural with any setting recommended. Had an old scanner that did a job 10 times what this cannon did. Yes it is very thin and compct, but when running it sounds like there are two mice in the box running the gears. You may love it but if you had a scanner that worked every day with out any problems. I would not recomend this unit to anyone. sorry for the bad rap. but a new scanner should work correctly for more than 3 hours. In the box and back to where it came. in all fairness i must say that it was very easy to install with the usb port. And if not for this it would be a real pain to reinstall after the scan function was lost. Love the ease, hate the operation. sorry to be so down on the unit but I had to write it my way

Summary: some problems
Review: having nothing but trouble trying to scan black and white or text, skimpy instruction sheet is of no help. have talked to two Canon tech people who act like they never saw a scanner. Basically a nice rig if I could get my problems solved.

Summary: Good scanner but little depth of focus
Review: Having owned a few scanners, this one has dissapointed be because of its shallow depth of focus. It is absolutely useless for any magazine articles or objects with any texture. I think we are talking submillimeter DOF. I'd like to send it back but put some wear on it. Other aspects of use are ok, though I find I need an AC adapter for my USB system when I use this scanner with my AC powered notebook computer.
