Good personal scanner
As a graphic designer I use a scanner for flat colour artwork and general office jobs. I hardly ever need to scan trannies so I opted for this model as it has an add-on transparency unit if needed - unlike other scanners which have extra thickness in the lid to house the tranny scanner. The scanner works well with Mac OS X ImageCapture (scanner software). CanoScan Toolbox software functions well - although the interface design looks very dated compared to other OSX applications! The scanner reproduces colour drawings and prints very accurately. At higher resolutions it is slow - but that does not bother me much for those occasional jobs. This scanner has a copy to print button (acting like a photocopier) so it's really handy not having to adjust a scanned image in Photoshop before printing to my black and white printer. Similarly the copy for email button places a scan into a new email message. I love the scanner's elegant silver design which compliments my new imac. The lid feels a little flimsy though, but it has not been a problem so far. I am very pleased with this scanner and think it is good value for money.

What a difference
This scanner replaced a 5-year-old HP ScanJet 7400C which never recovered from a system lockup caused by an expansion card. It was either this or the 4400 so I went for the one with no need for a power cord. It's about the size of a coffee table book, the platen is bright, shiny and clean (the HP's was always dull and dirty looking even on delivery) and the software just 'feels' stable, although I agree it looks a bit clunky. The software install went OK: I had an error message when I connected the scanner but this cleared after a reboot. No problems importing scans into software, unlike with the HP. Other comments: (1) It scans quite 'strongly', so if you have some text on a white background, it tends to pick-up the background, and this requires some setting changes; and (2) It takes a 'mini' USB B plug, not the usual one, so if you place your scanner more than about 1 metre from the PC you'll need a new (or an extension) cable. But overall, and for the money, it's 5 stars all the way.

Sweet Scanner
This is my first scanner - it looks good, is light, easy to use and performs well. There is a super attachment for film negatives which slots into place. There is no plug cord as it connects via the USB so another great functional feature. Also with a detractable (and pullout) stand on the bottom the scanner can be position at about a 60 degree angle. The lid opens 180 degrees, and being multi-hinged is thick enough to scann a book with the lid down. Am i impressed? yes. Scans quickly at 300dpi.

Comes with lots of software which i am still trying to get my head around.
