excellent scanner for everyday use
2008-08-09This scanner was a replacement for a much bulkier model and I love it. The thin profile means I can slip it into my laptop bag and it powers off the USB port so there are no bulky power cords to worry about storing. I use this scanner mostly for photographs and negatives, though I am thinking of moving to an all digital archive because the scan quality on documents is so good.
The software is easy to run and chock full of great features. I have a Canon digital camera as well so the photo editing software works well with my existing software. I highly recommend this scanner for ease of use and quality of output.

Not for Windows Vista
2008-02-16It worked fine with XP.
It worked fine with Vista, after three hours troubleshooting.
It stopped working with Vista.
It still works with XP.
So if you have Vista and love a challenge, buy this one!

bulletproof
2007-03-06I have had this scanner since the week Canon released it. Although I am by no means a professional, I use this scanner almost every week. I feel that the image quality is excellent, it scans quickly, and if I need to, I can do some very high resolution scans. (Most of my scans are around 300dpi, but it can do 1200dpi). The software for OS X is a little bit of a let down sometimes, but I would say 99% of the time, I have had no problems. It is a little bit noisy, but for the price, size and performance, I could care less. I have used the film feature maybe once or twice, and I was relatively pleased with the results, again, I am not a professional
Going on its third year of art school, I would say this scanner is nearly bulletproof.

Excellent Scanner
2006-03-14This scanner is a wonder. Easy to use with idiot proof features. I love it - sorry I did not buy it sooner.

Fine for flat stuff, but the film adapter is disappointing
2006-03-07I had an old Canon flatbed that gave up the ghost, so was looking forward to this new one, especially because it has a film adapter. First, and foremost, Canon's powering through the single USB cable is excellent and should be industry standard. However, it should be said that this is a film ONLY adapter - that is, it does NOT do slides (which seems like a bit of a bait; my bad for assuming, but the software does have the option of scanning positive film, so it seems like a important omission). More to the point, even when film strips/negatives are laid on the glass with the adapter, the results are slow, slow, slow and not very sharp. My suggestion: don't bother with the LiDE80 for film; just save$30 and get the LiDE65 for flatbed only. MacOSX interface is getting clunkier from generation to generation. Software bloat, I guess.

Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents.
In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
