CanoScan 8800F is a winner!
I wanted a dedicated scanner to use especially for slides. After scouring to web for comparisons and user ratings I decided to get this one. I was concerned that CanoScan 8800F doesn't utilize ICE 3 technology for scratch and dust removal but rather, uses their own proprietary FARE 3 technology . In the final analysis, Canon probably decided not to pay for the ICE 3 licensing but Canon's FARE 3 technology does do the job very well. In fact, in a side by side comparison, I found, after sifting through endless web pages, that the Canon with FARE 3 rendered a bolder, more eye-catching image than Epson's, which uses ICE 3. I guess it's a matter of aesthetic judgement. I highly recommend this unit based on price, features and most of all...results.

Scanner simple to use/set up, works with Vista, will do everything you will need it to do
I bought this scanner last month with the intention of being able to scan some old negatives (35 mm and 120 format film), slides, and photos, along with the occasional document. For the price and what I am looking for (personal use and printing photos from scans), this scanner has been great and I would recommend it for any amateur, prosumer, or even professional looking for a quality, yet inexpensive scanner.
I searched on the internet for a while looking for a scanner that would accomplish what I needed and ultimately decided on this Canon model. For digital, I'm a Nikon guy, but Canon's quality is good also, and my assumption that you can't go wrong was a safe one. I have Vista and it took about 45-50 minutes to install all of the software and get it up and running, which included making sure that I had the most updated drivers from their website. Among the other software it comes with, it also comes with Photoshop Elements, which (if you don't have regular Photoshop) will do everything you need to do. I have made prints from scans and the difference between a print from a scan and a print from a digital image is negligible.
Other reviews regarding this scanner were more helpful for me when I was looking at specifics, but here's what I can add: if you're looking for a scanner that will not take a lot of space up on your desk or office, this one is great. It comes with all of the necessary cables and software, is virtually idiot-proof, and other than the occasional time where you may have to scan a negative twice to get it right, it's great. Scan from 120 mm take about 2-3 minutes depending on how you touch it up pre-editing, but most scans take about a minute. You can't go wrong with this scanner and you should not hesitate to buy it if you're on the fence between this one and other comparable priced scanners.

Canon CanoScan 8800F Scanner
* Canon CanoScan 8800F Scanner: I read a bunch of reviews before ordering. It sounded like it would be easy to use. I have boxes of old slides and I had thought about having them scanned for me. I think I have saved quite a bit of money. I had some slides that I couldn't even tell what they were and with just a few adjustments I can see the pictures. The programs that come with the scanner are great. Thank you, Sondra ...

Super Speedy, Super nice
I purchased this scanner to scan in my father's old slides (1950's to 1980's), and a bucnh of older photos..
Set-up (connection, software install): this step was fairly easy and straight forward.
Software: comes with several titles including both the PC and the Mac version of Photoshop Elements 5.0. I already have Photoshop CS3, so no need for the Elements software BUT, I have found that the some of the software which was installed during the initial set-up allows for easy adjustments and quick one click corrections. no issues with Vista, no upgrades required.
Scanning: Very quick, I am able to do four slides at a time - plus the bundled sofeware automatically divides the photos for easy adjustments. Colors seem very good...esp. with the old slides that I am working with.
I recommend this scnner over others, esp. if you are scanning slides - the quality of the 8800f is a step above the other that I have used.
