This was a good buy
Worked straight out of the box, easy and quick to set up. It takes up desk space because, obviously, it needs to cope with standard paper sizes, but it’s thin, so a shelf solution just above the desk works. Very lightweight, perfectly good quality scans, easy to operate. We normally research this sort of thing a lot before buying, but this was one of those ‘the scanner isn’t working, get a new one quick’ scenarios, so we didn’t, but this was a good buy.

Pleasantly easy to use.
Excellent scanner that is light in construction yet well constructed. It easy to use with excellent sharp scans, particularly good with photographic prints. Good value for money.
Highly recommend

Works well, but not great for artists
I’m a traditional artist. Bought as I needed a scanner and was on a budget. For a budget scanner it’s great! Max size is A4 and scans up to 600 dpi which is good enough for what I needed it for. However I played around with scan settings and image formats, but whatever I did, the colours are very washed out in the scans. It’s nothing a bit of saturation/hue adjustment can’t fix, and my work uses a lot of bright colours so most people likely won’t need to worry, and its fine for what I need. It picks up textures really well, however if you’re using it to scan a lot of photographs/flat drawings etc consistently I’d bite the bullet and spend a little more. Very easy to use however does need a DVD drive to install.

Ease of Use, Convenient and Fast
this time the scanner works well. just plugged in and it scanned with ease. great for a portable device at home for personal documents, inserting images into papers.
if you want very high quality then you need to use an industrial scanner on full size copier at work or in a store.

Great for scanning photos
I bought this exclusively for scanning in old photos and for £65, I am very happy with it.
It took me about 2 hours to scan 250 photos. I scanned two at a time at 600 dpi and the quality is fine for me. The software for this scanner will automatically separate and crop the photos, so by scanning two at a time, as long as you leave a gap between them, the scanner will create two separate images on your computer and they will be perfectly cropped and aligned – so you don’t need to keep them straight when putting them into the scanner. It takes about 30 seconds for the scanner to scan 2 photos at 600 dpi.
Once you play around with it to make sure you know what you’re doing and that you’re happy with the quality, it doesn’t take long to work through the photos and scan them all in.
The software (which can be downloaded) is pretty straightforward and easy to use. If you are on macOS, you don’t even need any drivers (not sure about Windows but they are all on the Canon website anyway).
The only thing I will say is that this scanner has a lock switch on the bottom – I’ve no idea what this is for (maybe to stop your kids from scanning stuff?) but it is important to put it to the unlocked position or the scanner won’t work. And if you unlock it whilst it’s already plugged into the computer, you will need to disconnect and reconnect it to the computer (i.e. unplug / plug in the USB cable) after you put the switch to unlock, otherwise your computer might not detect it.
This scanner also does not need any power source / plug socket, which is handy. It gets power from your computer (the USB cable is supplied).
Overall I am very happy with this scanner – it did exactly what I wanted it to do and it was pretty cheap.

Quick and efficient
I finally decided to digitalise all of our family documents- given that we are a big family, it was getting a bit much having several filing boxes, so I took a chance and invested in this Canon scanner.
I’m genuinely quite impressed, the set up is super straight forward, you can follow the website link provided in the instructions and download the necessary programme, and that’s it. You plug the cannon straight into your laptop and away you go. Scan speed isn’t spectacularly fast, but it isn’t super slow either. Meaning you can scan and upload into files fairly quickly. The scanner itself isn’t particularly bulky or heavy either, so it can sit beside the laptop on the table and then be put away easily. This scanner is making uploading all of our family paperwork and then transferring to an external hard drive for storage very straightforward. I’m looking forward to having more space and less paperwork to wade through every time I need to find something.

Recibà el escáner hace unos dÃas. Es fácil bajar los controladores. Apenas lo estoy empezando a probar, editaré esta opinión cuando haya terminado con eso.
Sólo les quiero advertir que el aparato no tiene botón de encendido/apagado, lo cual a mi me resulta muy incómodo porque se enciende cuando lo conectas a la PC por USB y lo tienes que estar conectando y desconectando cada vez que lo usas.
Tardé un buen rato en poder escanear un documento por 1a. vez porque te pide mover una palanca para desbloquear el aparato y nomás no la encuentras: LA PALANCA PARA DESBLOQUEARLO ESTà EN LA SUPERFICIE DE ABAJO. Ahà verás los iconitos de un candado abierto y otro cerrado.
DÃas después ya lo he empezado a usar. Es muy rápido, escanea con una gran nitidez y tiene funciones muy cómodas, como enviar de inmediato por correo lo que acabas de escanear o poder imprimirlo sin necesidad de guardarlo primero.
SÃ lo recomiendo.

Once the online software is downloaded (MacOS) from Canon and activated, this scanner is very simple to use. I’m using it to copy and edit my 359 page thesis via Adobe Acrobat (which converts the scanned PDF into editable text). Exactly what was needed.
When scanning multiple photographs (at the same time) the software recognises this and saves them as separate images. Be sure to follow the instructions when setting up the scanner.
