Summary: USB2.0 = usb1.1
Review: Please note, this product is "usb 2.0 full speed" which is NOT "usb 2.0 high speed" - it's actually what we all use to know as "usb1.1". Buyer beware - it's the manufacturer's way of misleading consumers. That being said, the previous reviews claiming better performance using true usb2.0 ports on a computer are not valid (for the bottleneck is always going to be the output of the scanner itself).

Summary: "Ditto"
Review: I've been shopping around for a scanner with a reasonable price with quality results. I read all of the reviews on the CanonLIDE30 by others who purchased this scanner, and decided to take a chance. I'm glad that I did. If I were to comment on all the great features and the excellent results on scans produced by this scanner, I would just be repeating what so many others have already said. Great product!

Summary: Perfect for home use
Review: The one thing that impressed me most about this scanner was the ease with which it interfaced with my hp printer. I just went through the normal install (on Windows XP) and every function that I've tried out on this scanner, including the function buttons on the front, worked with every peripheral I have on the first go. I was away from the tech scene for a few years while I was in the military, and I definitely don't remember any periphal being this easy to interface with other components of differing brands.
Other than that, the picture quality is great and the speed is just fine for one or two page scans. I got pictures to come out perfectly clear with up to 5x magnification. It might be good for higher magnifications, too, I just haven't tried them yet. Some people have complained about the speed, but if you want to scan a 50-page report, you need to take it to Kinko's instead of using a home flatbed. Or you could spring for a business-class scanner; remember, this one is only seventy bucks. It comes with some decent software, too; I'm looking forward to trying the OCR, where it turns scanned print into text that can be edited. Maybe that's a common feature nowadays, but it seems pretty cool to me. I did some shopping before I bought this thing, and it is definitely the best home-use scanner that I found.

Summary: Price, ease and quality
Review: This was my first scanner purchase. I have used different scanners in the past and this one is easy to use and set up in no time! If you're looking for a low cost, quality scanner then this one is the one for you. I also enjoy the small size and the Z lid that is condusive to scanning things from large books. I hesitated and looked at other scanners but I kept coming back to this one for the price and functions I was looking for. This one is a big thumbs up!

Summary: Great Scanner Great Price
Review: Scans are very good and fast compared to what I have experienced in the past. I won't cover the same things already covered many times before.Not having to deal with another adapter to plug in is very worthwhile.
Being able to scan multiple photos at one time and have them created as separate files is fantastic. Really cuts down on the effort to scan in old photos
It is less than 1/4 the size of my old scanner and can store on its side (holder provided). It claims you can operate it in the holder(this doesn't appeal to me).

Summary: Excellent value
Review: All around great scanner. It's super thin and small and because it's USB bus powered there's only one cable. Scan quality is quite good, though the scans could be a little faster...speed is only average compared to other scanners I've used in the price range. Drivers work fine with Mac OS X 10.2. The thing I like best, though, is the LED illumination. No bulky flourescent lamp that has to turn on and off and can burn out. Very sweet.

Summary: very good product...
Review: I haven't written more than 3-5 reviews in my life. But this one will be one of the few. Here it goes... I've just got my lide-30 and installed it in 10 minutes. Works prefectly. Scan quality is overall very good, and multi & auto crop always works. Scanning is not slow at all as some reviewers mentioned. Buy this product, you won't regret...

Summary: An excellent home scanner
Review: This scanner is small, sleek and attractive. It comes with a stand that holds the scanner upright on its side, if one chooses to use it. Photo scans are vivid and accurate in color. It does not have a transparency adapter or a feeder. I installed the software in Windows XP and the USB scanner in a matter of minutes. It doesn't require an AC power cord. It is powered by the USB port on the computer. The software package includes OCR, and it does pretty well on both photos and documents. I have read other reviews stating that the scanner is noisey and slow but I have not had either of those problems. If your scanning needs are simple, this scanner is the best value on the market.
I highly recommend it.

Review: Not much to say, just that I love this scanner. It has great resolution, great colors, and it takes so little space. I usually use it for scanning photos, and it works great.

Summary: good low-end scanner
Review: This scanner is great for someone with limited desk space, and no real need for speed. I bought it for scanning comic book covers, and I've found that it takes about a minute to do that kind of scan. The quality is reasonable, but not outstanding. Also, I'm not impressed by the bundled software. I'd recommend scanning into Paint Shop Pro instead, or even the freeware program IrfanView.
