I've had a different Canoscan model, the "Canon CanoScan 4507B002 LiDE110 Color Image Scanner" as Amazon calls it. It was awful. Terrible results, no matter the setting and extremely slow performance.
On a not particularly related note: Anybody know of a good scanner for doing piles of photos? One that auto-feeds photos through? I've tried four or five already and all of them either: A) Wouldn't scan at 600 dpi; B) put little white lines in the photos; C) had bad color reproduction; D) scanned everything too dark; or E) All of the above.
My ideal would be something like the Brother DS620 scanner that I'm returning to the store tonight. It's fast (roughly 5-8 seconds for a 4x6 photo), it's really easy to use, it pulls photos through its feeder in a straight (not crooked) fashion, and so on. But everything comes out way too dark, no matter the settings I use.
I have hundreds of photos from the pre-digital era I want to scan and flatbeds are simply too time-consuming and annoying for a task like that. Online services simply cost way too much - 20 cents a pop for 600 DPI scans? C'mon.
Help (if you can)!
