5.0 out of 5 stars
Great value for the money,
This review is from: Canon LiDE 700F photo (9600dpi Advanced CCD technology), film and document Scanner (Personal Computers)
Not had this long but it seems great. I took the plunge based on reviews I found elsewhere and ordered it here despite the poor comments on Amazon. It arrived in good condition and was up and running in about 15 minutes. Power comes via USB so less stuff to plug in too.First of all, at least one of the previous reviewers is inaccurate. Using the Canon software the scanner can output at up to 1200dpi in reflective/non film mode if you bother to investigate the Advanced section of the driver software. It has lots of controls and can very quickly produce a decent quality image. There is an option to scan in 16 bit if necessary and lots of other tweaking buttons to play with. The software installed easily on my Mac running Leopard. The machine is also supported by VueScan. With that you can scan at higher resolutions up to the advertised 9600 dpi. I probably won't do film on it as I have a film scanner and the setup does look fiddly in comparison but will no doubt work ok when you get familiar with it (and again should achieve a high dpi if you go beyond the Auto driver settings).

This review is from: Canon LiDE 700F photo (9600dpi Advanced CCD technology), film and document Scanner (Personal Computers)
Bought primarily for copying slides that are starting to deteriorate, I was basically after retaining what images I had, but I was amazed at the sheer quality of the scanned images. The online instructions are very easy to follow and copying time is very quick. One great advantage is not requiring a power cable - all the power this machine needs is supplied via the USB lead. The only drawback in my opinion is the lack of a slide holder - films need to be removed from mounts which is a real pain when the mounts are of the old card type which can't be fitted back together afterwards. But apart from this one small niggle - A LITTLE GEM! Well done once more Canon.

The Canon LiDE 700F Scanner,

This review is from: Canon LiDE 700F photo (9600dpi Advanced CCD technology), film and document Scanner (Personal Computers)
I bought this scanner to replace a Canon 8000F scanner which had given good service for a number of years. There is still nothing wrong with that scanner but I recently upgraded my computer to one which runs under Windows 7 64 bit OS and there are no updated drivers available to let the scanner operate with this OS.Although it is wider than the 8000F, the 700F has a lower profile and so appears a less bulky and sleeker machine. Installation was straightforward and the scanner was soon ready to be used. The software includes Canon's own MP Navigator scanning interface as well as Photostudio 6. While I tended to use the Photostudio interface with the 8000F, I now make far greater use of Canon's MP Navigator which I find extremely flexible, allowing me to scan directly into a new Word document or directly into pdf format documents. When scanning into Word I find that the OCR is much improved over that which was associated with the old Photostudio software. I have yet to test Photostudio 6 in this aspect. So, as far as scanning documents is concerned this performs brilliantly. However, for a supposed film scanner I find the 700F somewhat less than satisfactory in the manner of actually handling the film. In fact to my mind the method of scanning verges on the eccentric.There is no way of fixing a strip of film in the film holder and actually aligning the frames is not easy and it took me a number of goes to actually capture the selected frame. It seems suitable only for scanning a few frames at a time. But then, perhaps I just need more practice at using the equipment. This point apart, however, I have been very pleased with scanner. As a flexible piece of kit which can handle documents and books with ease, scanning into variety of formats I would not hesitate to recommend it.
