3 easy buttons get it done. Fast. Old family snapshots, your personal documents - whatever you're scanning or copying, the streamlined CanoScan LiDE25 Color Image Scanner is a snap to use. Three easy buttons automate the entire process, letting you scan, send images to your printer for copying, or prepare attachments for an e-mail. Just position your original and select the use for the image; in approximately 16 seconds your scan can be previewed on your monitor. For added convenience, one simple cable provides both power and a USB connection, reducing the number of wires around your desk. This efficient scanner also delivers high-quality scanning performance. You'll see beautiful results, with a maximum 1200 x 2400 color dpi resolution (software enhanced resolution: 19,200 color dpi) and 48-bit color depth, for over 281 trillion possible colors. The LiDE25 scanner comes with powerful software applications including our CanoScan Toolbox 4.9, which allows you to scan documents and then create and manipulate PDFs. Extra convenience comes standard. For larger projects, Multi-Scan Mode lets you scan multiple images simultaneously, rather than one by one. Just arrange them on the glass and select "Multi-Scan" - that's it! For convenience, each image is automatically saved as an individual file. The LiDE25 scanner also comes with Quick Automatic Retouching and Enhancement (QARE) technology, which reduces much of the dust and scratches that may appear on your older originals. It even autocorrects to help with graininess, picture fading and improper backlighting. After enhancement you can archive these beautiful images and then e-mail them or print them for family and friends. Get complete scans of bulky originals. The unique Z-Lid™ expansion top even delivers high-quality scans of bulky items such as personal notebooks. It lifts approximately 1-inch vertically then lies down flat on the item you are scanning, for a clear, complete scan.

Great product, great value
Date: September 23, 2009
Pros: Compact Design, durable, easy to use
The LiDE25 is a simple, easy to use, and quick to use scanner. Setup is fast. Scanning is fast, with plenty of options (dpi, color/bw, straight to PDF, multi page PDF if you use Canon's drivers). It doesn't take a lot of space on the desk, and when I'm done just set it aside, leaning up against a desk leg or shelved right with the rest of my books. Since I move it a lot, I have subjected it to a bit of use - it functions like new. The device has not disappointed me in 2 years of use...it is my best buy of 2007. The designers and engineers really got this design right. And for the price, it is an outstanding value.

worked well before snow leopard installed
Date: September 10, 2009
Pros: Compact Design, durable
I've had the LIDE 25 for over a year. It worked flawlessly with my Macbook until I installed snow leopard (Mac 10.6) after which Toolbox wouldn't work. I downloaded the driver update for 10.6 but Toolbox still doesn't work. This may be peculiar to my computer but is something to be aware of. I would unequivocally recommend the LIDE 25 if it will work with your operating system.

scanner
Date: June 17, 2009
Pros: Compact Design, durable, easy to use, Fast Connectivity, High resolution Cons: Slow-speed scanning
Great scanner - USB powered flatbed - no cords or transformers to tote - no problems with any density of paper (or larger, ex. box bottom) to be scanned. Lightweight. Sturdy construction.

Pros: Compact Design, durable, easy to use, High resolution, small size!
I upgraded to Vista 64 bit and needed to replace my U1220 scanner. This is the third Canon LIDE scanner I have owned. This is the BEST little scanner ever! Canon is #1
