Summary: "Perfect"
Review: This is the Perfect Scanner! I have it installed on a Compaq PC with Windows ME, installation was a breeze! Scanned in (at medium quality) a picture I had professionally enlarged about a year ago, printed it out (also at medium quality) using the included cannoscan software, I can NOT tell the difference! My homemade picture is suitable for framing! I highly recommend this scanner!

Summary: A flatbed that travels
Review: This scanner has been a delight, making better quality scans, at greater speed than other much more expensive and unwieldy scanners I have used. It is light enough to travel with my laptop, and conveniently even has moire reducing settings in it's software, making my ability to scan old copyright expired fashion illustrations easier, with better, faster results.

Summary: Sleek and Sexy, With Brains - I Got More Than I Paid For!
Review: This scanner is absolutely unbelievable. When it came out of the box, I was surprised to see that it really is just slightly larger than a pad of paper. Following the very simple directions, I plugged it into my USB port, ran the included software CD, and that was it - I was up and scanning in maybe 10 minutes! The scans themselves look terrific, even at 75 dpi. When I scanned one picture at the maximum resolution (1,200 x 2,400 dpi) just to see what it would look like, it almost came out too well - it picked up my fingerprint and an eyelash on the glass! With limited space on the computer desk, I especially like the stand that comes with this scanner, allowing you to store (and to actually scan with) the unit on its side, like a thin paperback book on your shelf. The software that comes with it is excellent as well - it includes Adobe Photoshop 5.0 Limited Edition, Omni Page Pro (for optical character recognition, to turn your scanned documents into text files for use in your word processor), and Photo Studio. All work seamlessly with the scanner, popping up automatically just when you need them. Other great features about this scanner include the fact that it does not need its own power source (it gets its power from the USB plug), and that the lid is hinged in such a way as to allow you to scan thicker objects and books. The price is terrific too, being a good bit lower than that of many other bulky scanners offering much less resolution. A few days ago I did have to call the Canon Customer Service number once, at midnight (I was surprised to hear a real human answer the phone). A nice Customer Service rep helped me very quickly. He didn't even laugh when I discovered that my problem was that I had accidentally knocked loose the USB plug connecting the scanner to the computer! (Uh, must've been the cat....) :) It is a very nice surprise in this day and age when you feel that you actually get more than you pay for. Thank you Canon!

Review: This scanner is great!! I cannot say enough good about it. I have had mine for over two years now and I take it with me everywhere my laptop goes including courthouses where I use it to copy marriages and other court documents for genealogy. No power cord needed and is every bit as good as any of my larger HP ones stuck at home.

Summary: Upon reviewing the Canon canScanN122ou
Review: This scanner is very definitely a five star item. We tried out many scanners. Some came with software that was difficult, or confusing in instructing the operator to use.If time is any consideration some seemed to poke along.Some were quick but the images produced were not always clear. Some scanners were noisy. Some bulky. This little baby is thin, sleek,easily portable,quick, and the 42 bit gives one excellent reproduction. If one has a digital camera, I think that is an especially important consideration.

Summary: Don't shop -- just buy this scanner!
Review: Wanted a scanner. Didn't know much about scanners. Didn't feel like doing a ton of comparison shopping. Got a recommendation to buy this one. Bought it. Connected it. Ran it. Easy. Works great. No problems.

Summary: Great
Review: We just got our scanner and had no problems loading the software (Windows 98) or doing scans. It did great with both color photos and OCR text. Sorry to hear others had problems. I would have given a 5 star rating, but haven't used the scanner enough yet, so I stayed with the more modest 4 stars. But we are satisfied.

Summary: Crisp, Clear, Simple ... and sexy ...
Review: What else would you want from a scanner? This little monster does everything that I need a scanner to do for me, be it scanning lowres graphics for websites to high resolution color scans for print media. The windows utilities are adequate, although I do not use them much as I use Photoshop and/or Fireworks for my scanning and editing. The scanner TWAIN driver's GUI is nice, in default mode it presents options for the novice to achieve clean good quality images, while in advanced/expert mode, it allows fine tuning of all the expected settings (hue, color, brightness, contrast) that you want. I agree with the other reviewers that one of the best non-technical things about this scanner is its lack of a powercord. For those who, like me, have a number of computers at their desk, various peripherals, and etc., having one less tenticle extruding from the electrical outlet is a GREAT thing. Additionally, the scanner's design is beautiful, sleek and as sexy as a scanner can be :) I have owned many scanners over the years (SCSI, Parallel, and USB) and this one is my favorite of them all. The only gripe I can think of is that at this time, there is no LINUX support for this scanner, but this will change (I assume) now that the 2.4 kernel is out and USB is fully supported :)

Summary: WOW!!
Review: WOW!! That's the reaction you will get with this sleek designed and ridiculously easy to use scanner. After all connected up, you might even ponder "that's it?" Yep! A single USB cable carries both power and data to your computer. But wait, good news doesn't just end here. This scanner delivers 1200x2400 scanning resolution, which guarantees your scanned digital image will look as well as, or even better than the real picture! This specification alone will cost you arms and legs with other scanner. Software bundle? Even more good news to follow. ArcSoft's Photostudio2000 has the look, feel and power of professional image editor, like THE Adobe Photoshop. Yet, it is FREE to you. The Omni Page, the authority figure in OCR business (converting your paper documents to digital edible documents) is included as well. Moreover, this scanner supports both Mac and PC with various versions of Windows, even Windows 2000! If you want to scan more than just picture, like an object up to 1 inch tall. This scanner has a unique feature to nicely accommodate that! Since I am not going to spill the beans, you will just have to find it out yourself...
