 Well worth the price February 9, 2007

The power supply on my hp5470C finally bit the dust, and this scanner doesn't cost much more than an HP power supply. plus, it's a lot more portable.
i read the earlier reviews and was prepared for noise and slow speeds. i was pleasantly surprised.
WRT noise, the scanner makes a noticeable mechanical whine when preview scanning at 150DPI. at 300 DPI or more, it's much quieter. i measured the sound output from about a foot away, and it's roughly 56 dB (A weighted). that's not loud.
WRT speed, a full page is roughly 15 seconds at 300 DPI color. i tried scanning a dollar bill at 1200 DPI to get a feel for the resolution - the 1200 DPI scan took about a minute and a half, of just the bill.
sharpness was excellent. i could zoom in on the engraving on the bill with very nice results. color was good, and sharpness was fine.
on text scanning, i tried OCR'ing a page of the instructions that were written in small (about 6pt) type. the included ScanSoft Omnipage software got 100% accuracy.
the three buttons on the front of the scanner were easy to configure, and worked very well. a high quality copy of a color photo came out very nicely, when printed directly to my HP inkjet.
the form factor is great. it's about as thick as my hand, is roughly 14 3/4" x 10 1/4". weight is very light. it'd travel very easily in a briefcase or backpack, and i would have no compunction using it in a library (from a noise standpoint). it takes power from the USB cable, so would work very well w/ a notebook.
overall, i'm extremely pleased with this purchase. it exceeded my expectations.
Wow, such a nice little scanner! September 20, 2005

The last scanner I bought was in 1997. Boy has technology evolved! Back then I had to pre-scan, adjust scan area, scan, and then save. Now all that process has been eliminated by a push of a button! One touch and this scanner scans, auto-crops, and saves automatically! This scanner can detect what part of the flatbed your photo is located, so it only scans that area and saves the photo without having to specify scan area. Neat! Plus this scanner is so thin and small! I am impressed.
Great price! Works like a charm! I'm becoming a Canon junkie! November 2, 2005

I have been buying Canon products lately -- camera, printer, photo paper, and now this printer. Canon has yet to let me down. I'm amazed at the scan quality this scanner produces! I bought it simply so I could share wedding book and magazine photos with my mother who lives several hundred miles away, but I think I'm going to be preserving my old 35mm shots using the CanoScan LiDE 25. The price was excellent, installation was a breeze, power is supplied via the USB cable, and the software is incredibly user-friendly. I have yet to look at a manual and I'm already scanning images beautifully! It does take a while (45 seconds to a minute, give or take a few seconds) for things to scan. If you're on a deadline, this may not be the right equipment for the job. For day-to-day home use, this scanner can't be beat! Also, kudos to Amazon.com and UPS, from whom I always receive stellar service! My scanner was shipped and received in practically no time at all! I think it was a two business day turn-around from order to receipt, and with FREE SHIPPING!
Affordable, fast and easy to use. A must have. September 11, 2005

You already have a printer, you have the fax machine, you just need a scanner. Of course there are these new all in one packages you can buy these days but they are costly and bulky.
Here you have a simple flat bed scanner that is affordable, and has the features to copy, scan, email, even edit what you scan as well. It's powered through the USB cable so no need to worry about plugs. The scans come out great and so do the copies. The speed couldn't be any faster which is of course a plus. The scanner fits nicely just about anywhere, or can be easily stored if not used frequently.
Total quality, and a great buy especially for the price as well. Worth picking up.
Awesome Scanner, Awesome Service October 8, 2005

The scanner came in about 4-5 days before the actual expectation date, and the installation was simple as pie.
Within minutes, I had the scanner hooked up, and was scanning images into my computer. Thank you Cannon!
