Excellent Scanner for the Price
I bought this scanner because I had purchased digital frames for all my kids, and I wanted to go through our family photos and load the best of them into the frames. When I priced the cost of having someone else do the scanning, I discovered that stores wanted at least a dollar a scan. Since I was going to have at least one hundred photos, I decided that buying my own scanner was the way to go.

Works great with Vista!
I just recieved my scanner and I was scanning/croping and saving pictures 15 minutes after taking it out of the box. It's so easy, with one click you are done.

Does not work with Vista on Dell Latitude E6400
This scanner looked promising. Nice footprint, easy user interface. Despite stating it is totally compatible with Vista however, it would not work at all with my new Dell Latitude E6400. After 4 hours on the telephone with both Canon and Dell, their technicians also concluded that it just would not work.
This was an incredibly frustrating experience, although Canon's technical support was pretty thorough.
Good consumer scanner, don't expect too much
For the price, it's nice. Good scans, flexible software, runs on usb power so no extra power cord needed, and small compact size.
However, it's slow, and software is good for single scans, but not good for scanning something like a brochure.
Scanner is great
I bought this scanner to use on the road to scan pictures and genealogy files. It's very easy to use and has much better resolution than the stick scanners and is powered via the computer.
