Garbage2009-04-11
When it works it works fine. But after a few scans the thing tries to calibrate itself and usually fails, telling you to follow the instructions in the manual. I couldn't find these alleged instructions anywhere in the manual or Canon's nearly useless website. Sometimes trying to scan again will eventually work, sometimes not. I had to scan a bunch of old pictures for a surprise party but this thing decided to quit on me halfway through the job. Best of luck to Canon if this is the junk they sell.
Great for college students2009-03-11
I'm a college student and after a couple of years of research projects requiring copious photocopying (and tired of lugging spare change around) I decided to buy the Canon CanoScan Image Scanner. What attracted me foremost was the generally positive reviews and the great price compared to other scanners. I needed a scanner to have all of my copies in digital format, and didn't think being too particular and shelling out more money for a nicer scanner mattered.

This is a great scanner for most college students. If you're more tech-savvy, than this might not be your product, but if you want a solid, basic scanner that is light-weight and easy to use than this is a fantastic, inexpensive choice. The accompanying software, one program of which can convert scans to PDF files, is especially helpful for me as a humanities major.

I am glad that I got mine before it was listed as "Currently Unavaliable" at present time.
LiDE 25 on Mac OSX2009-02-24
The latest driver on the Canon site does NOT work on the latest OSX.
I had to go to the Europe Canon site and use the older 11.020 driver.
It does a good job of scanning for me. The colors are good. The speed is bearable for increased resolution.
Canon LIDE 25 is a pig2009-02-23
15 minutes to warm up once the USB cable is plugged in, and 5 minutes to scan a page, with mediocre scan results. You could do better if you copy the original with a crayon.

This is my third scanner, and my first USB. Admittedly, I bought it for portability, because it would fit in a laptop case; thus, I knew it was not the same high-end scanner I was used to. But it failed abysmally to meet my intentionally reduced expectations.

Flee! Flee!
Got the job done2008-12-29
I bought this scanner to scan family photos. It got the job done, but as others have mentioned the scanning speed is very slow and noisey.

I didn't have any problems hooking up the scanner or installing the software.

I scanned about 40 photos, most all at 600 DPI. (The higher the DPI the higher the quality, but also the longer it takes to scan.) I found that it was essential to preview each scan (to adjust the scan area, do any tweaking, etc.), which really added to the scan time.

If I were to have more photos to scan than I did, I would look for something faster. But for what I needed and for the price, this is a great scanner.

I did have some trouble scanning documents in that many were illegible when scanned. But I didn't bother to look at the documentation for info or tips.

I only used the scan feature. However, the scanner I purchased also has a copy and fax feature.
