Where To Buy Canon CanoScan LiDE 700F Color Image Scanner (3297B002)

I had returned an Epson V500 scanner that pooped out on me after two scans, and decided to try this Canon scanner instead. I was a little bit leery of trying Canon, due to an inkjet printer that I owned long ago that died within a few months. But so far this scanner has been very good.

The LiDE 700F is fairly small, so it will fit in a smaller area. It opens on the side. It was very easy to install, and it scans much faster than my old scanner (a 7-year old HP Scanjet). I'm using it basically to scan sketches in, and it does this very well. The scans look great! Please note that this scanner does not come with a slide adapter, it has some cheesy little adapter for scanning negative film strips, but I have not tried that function. I just bought it to scan documents and actual artworks on paper, so that's all I'm reviewing here.

There are only two little problems with this scanner, both of them related to the software. The first problem is that I find the software that Canon includes to be cumbersome, over-complicated and not very intuitive. Windows pop up that I'm not expecting to pop up, and it's just not a super-easy experience. I am still getting used to it, though, so it could just be me. The other problem is that there are buttons on the front of the scanner, but I can't figure out how to get the "scan" button to open the Canon scanner software, instead it opens the default Image Capture program on my Mac. Again, this is probably just me, but I do wish that Canon would provide more help and detailed instructions on how to use the software.

All in all, though, I am very happy with this product and thrilled that it works!Get more detail about Canon CanoScan LiDE 700F Color Image Scanner (3297B002).
