The quality of monitor/printers can contribute to the scanning output as well. If you have a standard monitor, don't expect good colors after scanning and blame the scanner after. You have to match them. A "calibrated" monitor dedicated for photography (this will produced life like colors in your screen), a good scanner (epson/canon), and editing software using the color profile of the monitor (ICC color profile) to print and a good color printer (not a standard all around printer) for best result. By the end of the day its your budget, its your scanner and its your color liking what's important. Hope this helps.
About Windows 10 compatibility, I would get the free trial of VueScan and give it a try. It works for a lot of scanners even without the driver from the manufacturer. They claim to have reverse engineered the drivers and included them in it. The trial version just watermarks all the scans. I have also read some suggestions like using a Windows 7 or 8 driver for it. One other way to use a scanner that is not compatible with the version of Windows that you have is a VMWare virtual machine of an OS that it can run on. It is a little bit tricky, you would have to install the driver, figure out how to get it to connect to the virtual machine instead (it would still need to be plugged into the host machine). It really is not that complicated but more so than I would care to explain. Then if you get that working you just have to copy the files out of the virtual machine. It is a huge pain in the @ss for a scanner but if you have a good old one that was once horribly expensive I am sure it may be worth the hassle!! One other way would be to have a computer around that runs the OS it supports and just do the scanning on that and transfer them to the machines you need them on. It is just a million times easier to get a new scanner or even buy used on eBay or a similar place.
I bought one off ebay, downloaded the latest drivers off the Canon website, I can scan from PaintShop Pro, but I can't use the Function Buttons on the front ??? running Windows 10, downloaded Quick Menu but no luck with that, any ideas what i can do to set up the Buttons ?? Thanks....
Do you know how to make a short cut to the desktop for the New Scan Box, I have made a short cut, but it takes me into the program, not the Scan Box ? My old cannon scanner's short cut went straight to the scanner, can't get this one to do that ?
You said it kicks you out of the application frequently. On Windows 10 look for scan a document or picture and see if the scanning utility in Windows also does it. Maybe Canon's software is just buggy. Maybe there is a better version of the software by now. Also if you have any other software that can scan try it and see. Yes, I can see how that would be extremely annoying to have it constantly kicking you out. I would become a very disagreeable person in that situation. Maybe it is the reason people knock its compatibility with Windows 10. I wonder how many of them are experiencing that bug.
scanners are expensive....considering many cheap printers have integrated scanners...e.g. in UK cheapest scanner is Canon LiDE 120 at £50... and after that Canon LiDE 220 at about £70 but I saw a new HP printer and scanner for £20!!! okay was a sale, but full price is £40... They should be selling scanners for £25 considering how many low priced printers there are, even with scanners.

You were spot on with ditching the disk, I uninstalled all software and performed installation from their website. What a difference, thank you !
Very nice. I had the scanning problems they had. Used the newest drivers and works great now.

A great, informative video. Many thanks!
It only lets me choose up to 600 DPI, even if I use the "Canon IJ Scan Utility2" software that it came with. Why?

Would I be able to scan 2 photos at once and for the software to keep them as separate files?

Isn't this able to scan in 4800 dpi?
I'm pretty sure.
SirAjae Ok. Thanks for the information :)
It only lets me choose up to 600 DPI? I thought this would be a 1200dpi scanner.

Amazing review. The best i have found :)
Man use a tripod. You're making me dizzy.
german?
ich glaub ja
Nein, das ist nicht Deutsch. Das ist Neuseelandman
Kiwi bro. Just don't mention the underarm...
Very nice accent you have
With CANON®, the pn (thing) is:
You are not allowed to save B/W images as JPEGs, which, in my proud/honest opinion, is fucking stupid.
i got headache after watching this shaky video
Are you a woman with a mans voice?
Or are you a man with girly hands and girly finger nails?
