 "works like a charm" | 2008-09-17 |

| I do like this product. Although the software is a little clunky to begin with, I soon got used to it and now use it with ease. I am really impressed with the way the software retouches and refreshes old faded photos. As I am preparing photos for a family history book, this has been a real plus- some photos are 100 years old. | |

| The 600f works well as a flatbed or 35mm film strip scanner. Speed seems good and not needing its own power adapter is nice. It would have been nice if the marketing material had expressly mentioned tha the device will NOT scan mounted slides, though. Also, user documentation is poor on how to set up for scanning film. The plug for that device can be inserted upside down. | |

| Overall, what I really love about this wonder from Canon is the fact that for just a tiny 3-watt power consumption, the 600F makes amazing film scans all the while looking cool and without making too much noise. I bought this scanner for the main purpose of scanning negative 35mm films at home. I am sure all those accollades it got for conventional platen scanning were also well deserved. That USB power and data cable "all-in-one" has got to be one of the top 5 clever inventions of the decade. Only wireless power supply would be better and it has yet to be invented! I'll limit my review to scanning film. The key to scanning 35mm films is the Film Adapter Unit (FAU.) For this reason, it is very important that you use and store it carefully. One scratch on its glass elements and you'll potentially ruin many important images. In actual use, the FAU took some getting used to. You have to carefully place it on the platen glass and attach its cable. You have to delicately place your film strip on the guides. You have to remember to put back the FAU's cloth protection on it when the FAU is not in use. You can easily scratch the all important glass elements if you're not careful. All this hassle however pays off handsomely when your clean, film scans magically appear on the preview window. Too bad if you have other film sizes or mounted slides. The 600F does only 35mm film strips, but it does this singular film job very well. The default 35mm film scan resolution of "1200 dpi" resulted in an image with 1660_by_1088 pixels dimension. I figured if you use the maximum optical resolution scan of "9600 dpi" you'll get a 13248_by_8730 pixel image since your scan area (about 1.38inch by 0.91inch) remains the same. Unless I'm mistaken dividing the above by 300ppi, you'll get an image 44-inch by 29-inch! If you have the dough you may opt to get a dedicated film scanner like one of the those Nikon Coolscans and scan like crazy. But the 600F's tiny power consumption, neat layout, cool design, great results and ScanGear's accessibility to Photoshop 7 all combine to make home film scanning a very rewarding personal hobby for me. With the caveat of being very careful in handling the FAU, I highly recommend the Canoscan 600F. | |
| "Document scanning" | 2008-08-19 |
| - Reviewed By User: A7FRSB9WJ5I43 | |
| Few of the reviews posted here covered its document scanning capabilities, so it was with some trepidation that I ordered it since my primary use is for documents. And I can say that I am very pleased with the device. Software installation (Windows XP Pro) was a snap and operation is intuitive and easy. Other positives are (1) thin design, (2) optional upright position [takes up about 4" of desk space], (3) ability to scan multiple pages into one PDF file and (4) powered off of the USB connection on the computer. It's pretty fast for a personal scanner. Loading, scanning, and unloading a page take about 15-20 seconds. That is plenty fast enough for me. The quality of scanned doument at 300 dpi is fine. Even if I never use it to scan a single photo, I am very happy with it. | |

| The scanner is great....it is a shame that the film copier part does not adapt to 35mm film slides. | |
 "Terrible for books" | 2008-06-12 |
| - Reviewed By confoundit | |
| When I tried to scan a large book I had to push down hard in order to scan the area close to the spine of the book. This caused the cheap, plastic, transparent sheet to bend inwards. That, in turn, interfered with the scanner as it moved down the sheet of paper. The end result: profoundly distorted images. I ended up using a photocopier to make a copy of the page and then scanning the copy. Buy something more solidly built. | |
| "Another example of a good Canon product!" | 2008-06-09 |

| I purchased this scanner because I needed something lightweight to travel with. The most important deciding factor was that I own two Canon desktop printers that were both inexpensive, reliable, ink replacements are reasonably priced, and have surpassed print quality expected for the price. Other reviews note that this scanner feels flimsy, which I was concerned about, but in having used it over a period of about 12 hours to scan hundreds and hundreds of family historical data while on the road, I can say with complete certainty that, for the price, it is of acceptable quality and performs fine. I only scan photos and paper documents and it has been a great performer. The quality of scans is good, it creates multi-page PDFs, though each page must be scanned individually, and the speed isn't as terrible as some larger office-environment scanners I've used in the past. Granted, a document feeder would have been ideal, but that would drastically increase the price and decrease the ease of traveling with it. In my opinion, this scanner has been well worth the purchase price, very user friendly to operate, fantastic in that there is no power cord to contend with, the space-saver upright position is a nice feature, the quality of output is good, and it fits very nicely into my existing computer bag with the laptop and all other accessories. | |

| The CanoScan LiDE 600F worked great for about a month, then the mechanism began to jerk and blur the image. Amazon replaced it, and the new one failed in about a month, with the mechanism frozen in the park position. Now I had to deal with Canon tech support. (and yes, for the idiots at Canan Tech Support, the shipping lock was unlocked.) The third unit arrived DOA. What happened? Canon used to be a name you could trust | |

| Doesn't use a power supply, just the usb port. A bit slow but nice scans. Feels a bit fragile and I'll be using it on the road so we'll see how it holds up. So far, so good. | |
