This scanner was good for photos and documents, passable for negatives and not so good for slides. Then I upgraded to OS X Lion, and now I have some plastic, glass and circuits that look like a scanner, but are not a scanner. Canon has not come up with a compatibility patch for Lion. Boo Canon. I am dead in the water until they do.
The Canosacn 8800F was a disgrace, I used the product only 3-4 times in a year and it lost power. It no longer turns on. It went dead and is out of warranty and not worth repairing, image quality is fair.
Pros: durable, Fast Connectivity, High resolution, High-speed scanning, easy to use, very reliable, maintence free over 2yrs, high quality scans
This scanner has function perfectly for me from The Vista pc that it was originally installed and now its being moved to a Win 7 pc. I expect it to function in the same great manner that it has served me on the Vista version. It scanned Slides, Pictures, Film Strips, Negatives, all kinds of pictures, documents and even my grand kids faces and hands and feet. It has been great.
Pros: durable, Fast Connectivity, High resolution, High-speed scanning, easy to use, great color correction, does slides really well
Cons: only 4 slides at a time
I've had the 8800 for over two years and have scanned over 2000 slides, photos, documents, and objects, new and old. The slides and documents can be color corrected easily and quickly. Scanning only 4 slides at a time can make for a long time at the machine, but the results are worth it- simple as that. Anyone looking for a well-built machine that can take a workout, look no further. This 8800F will do it all and do it extremely well.
