I will repeat what some have already said if it helps make the point!

Regardless of what you pay, make sure the scanner element is a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) instead of a CIS (Contact Image Scanner) if you want the best picture of OTHER than a flat object!

I believe ALL of the Canon LiDE are CIS, not positive.

My old HP 5400 is a CCD and it does slabs beautifully--You can find old, cheap scanners---But you got to know which element it has!
