 - Terrific tool!I purchased this scanner for my husband as an anniversary gift, hoping to get rid of some of the stored paper in the house. I broke open the box myself, to scan a pile of photos documenting the career of a colleague due to retire. It took no time to set up on my Mac and I was able to begin scanning immediately with no glitches. The scanning itself was fast. Others have commented on the noise during scanning. I didn't find this to be a problem. I finished my task with ease and the images came out wonderfully without requiring any fiddling. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in archiving without hassles. Rating: - Best scanner I've ever usedAlthough I haven't yet used all the featutres available on this scanner, it already has performed better, and done more, than my previous Epson scanner (which I thought did a credible job!). I especially like its perfomance on my slides (which I have thousands to do). Rating: - Success with slide scanningCanon CanoScan 8800F Color Film/Negative/Photo Scanner (2168B002) I used this product to successfully scan and convert more than 600 slides. It worked very well and created good quality digital files. I had no problems installing the software and using this scanner. Rating: - Excellent scannerI had been using a Microtek scanner for a number of years mainly for the use of it's adaptor for slides, but was never very happy with it's ability to produce a good scan (each scan needed alot of correction in Photoshop, poor color, streaks, color noise etc). Upgrading to the Canon Canoscanner was like a breath of fresh air! It's built-in slide scanner is easy to use (scan up to 4 slides at a time)and more to the point the quality is excellent! I immediatly wanted to go back over all the slides I'd done over the years with the Microtek and redo them with the Canon! The scanner software is very good. All in all this was a great purchase for me!! Rating: - Working like it said it wouldBought this item after reading other reviews and considering other models. Am not a techy but it was easy to set up and to use. Purchased because I wanted to save our negatives and be able to look at the pictures without going through the many prints that we have. Have tried both negatives and positives and pleased with both (some of the negatives are 20 years old). It is slow, but I just start the copying process and then get on with other things and with the results, I'm not complaining.
