Summary: Good Value, Easy to Use, Has Some Tradeoffs
Review: Advantages:Works with Mac OS 9.2.1, MacOS X (classic), and Windows2K/ME. Takes us NO space whatsover. Easy to use. Taught my wife how to do my dirty work, er, scan, in two minutes. Perfectly adequate for web work, great software bundle for the price. You can't reasonably expect to get publishing quality results for cheap. Drawbacks: Must use its own port on the computer, or a powered hub, since it draws its power from the USB link. Forget about using passive hub connections like an Apple keyboard, a three dollar hub, or a PCI card. Their consumer website makes no mention of this important caveat, which leads into the next drawback. Cannon's installer stinks on both platforms (Haven't they heard of Install Shield or VISE?), and their consumer support on the web is even worse. If you get stuck, you're out of luck. Still no native drivers for WinXP or MacOSX

Summary: The best scanner for the best value!!
Review: After having nothing but problems with my previous scanner, I chanced up the CanoScan N650U, liked what I read, and loved the price. After a very rapid delivery, it took me all of ten minutes or so to set it up and get to work! Whether you're a novice user or an experienced pro, this scanner is the way to go. Easy to use, slim and light, only one connection (USB)....I wish I had this one the first time around, I really do. Highly recommended!!!

Summary: This Scanner Is A Dream
Review: After purchasing a different scanner about a year ago for my Win98 system, and never being happy with it, the company's Tech Support and I could not get it to work on my new Win2000 system. So I purchased the N65OU because of the great reviews. When I got it, it installed easily (in minutes), the software was easy to use, and it scans great. Even the OCR software works reliably. It is hard to believe that Cannon could cram so much quality in such a small package, but they did.

Summary: Flimsy connector on the back broke after 3 wks of LIGHT use
Review: After three weeks my computer no longer recognized that the scanner was there. I called tech support (on my dime :( ) and they sent out another cable - no good. Called again (my dime) and they offered to replace it with another. What good is that if it just breaks again? The connector on the back needs some physical support, so make sure you don't breathe on it heavy or anything really violent like that.

Summary: Great scanner for Price
Review: At first, i didnt' think canon would be such a good product in the computer industry. but that was before i bought this scanner. it did the job perfectly! the 42-bit color and 600x1200 resolution made the pictures looking great! it was easy to install, and i installed it on my win98se system. worked great. the ocr worked great too (omnipage pro 8.0). the pictures turned out so good that it even picked up the dust that fell on my pictures. for this price (retail is under $100) this is an excellent scanner to pick up.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS SCANNER
Review: DO NOT BUY THIS SCANNER Cannon alleges that this is easy to install. I spent countless hours toying with Windows trying to get it to work. I downloaded patches, drivers and services packs to no avail. I had two, hour-long phone calls with their tech-support (When tech-support has you editing the registry, you know something's up), no dice. I even had the sys-admin from my work come to my house and he couldn't figure it out. Enough is enough. I'm not running anything exotic either, just Win2000 professional on a new AMD computer. Steer clear at all costs! DO NOT BUY THIS SCANNER!

Summary: Great Performer
Review: Easy to hook up and easy to use, even for me - a relative novice. The quality of the scanned images is superb. Absolute value for money. I have had people ask me if my scanned photograph prints sent as jpg files were images from a digital camera.
