Canon CanoScan D1250U2F USB Flatbed Scanner

I am a price concious consumer when it comes to my computer equipment and this item has blown me away. The color fidelity for Color and Black & White negative scanning this is the best I have seen for scanners in this price range. 8.5x11 Platen scanning is equally as impressive, the installation was quick and easy and USB 2.0 makes overall speed more than satisfying in comparrison to other products. I would highly recommend this product for its film scanning abilities alone and doubly recommend this item for its great overall quality and value.

My only complaint is that I spent several hours trying to get this scanner to work until I realized it is simply not compatible with my ADStech USB 2.0 card. BE CAREFUL if your USB 2.0 card is NOT from Adaptec or Intel -- you may have compatibility problems like I did. Other than this, the scanner is pretty good.

The scanner is really great, i love how you can be able to scan a negative photograph, both black and white and color. Of course we all no that a normal color photo takes longer to scan than a normal black and white photo, but with this scanner color photos get scanned faster than any scanner you have ever had in the past. The scanner also gives you the ability to scan up to 2400 dpi resolution if i remember corectly. The scanner comes with software on the installation cd that will set you up if you don't already have any, and even if you do, i would encourage you to uninstall that software and use the one that comes with your cannon canscan scanner. The scanner connects via USB which makes data transfer faster and the ease of use. I gave it 4 stars because i only have one problem with it and this works for all scanners too. Its hard to get the scanner glass completely 100% clean. But I highly recommend this product to everyone!

Where is the fourth EZ button? Probably meant to add on off switch and forgot. This is not as fast as has been described. Using USB 2.0 and average resolution still sitting and waiting for scan to finish 20 to 40 seconds.

Just as almost everyone has said here, the scan quality is great although the negatives scanning is a little odd. The pre-scan or lamp warmup takes way too long (longer than the scan itself).
