Digital camera reviews of Canon CanoScan 8800F Color Image Scanner (2168B002)
Digital camera Review: 1000+ Photos scanned Beautifully!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this scanner to archive and condense 50 years of photos and have been at it a few months now. It's fast, quiet, very reliable. At first I wasn't happy with the quality, but: USER ERROR. I pumped up the DPI to 600 and now they're great. Huge file sizes, but nothing my MAC and Photoshop can't handle. I feel this was a great investment.Digital camera Review: 44 year old slides reproduced perfectly
Summary: 5 Stars
For a 62 year old man, to be able to put his collection of 35mm slides onto a CD, makes this a very impressive scanner. I tried W...M... and I got back garbage that was not even worth saving. I could do better with my camera taking pictures of the slides displayed on a wall. All I had to do was follow the instructions and I got 1st rate pictures. Best product since sliced bread, computers, mp3 players.......Digital camera Review: 8800F review
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the Canon CanoScan 8800F for over a month and love the product. Everything that I have scanned has looked great and the scanner is very easy to use. I have been scanning a lot of old black and white negatives with very satisfactory results. For me it is much better than mixing chemicals and working in a darkroom; much cheaper too.Digital camera Review: 8800F works fine, but the OCR software is not compatible with Mac 10.6.
Summary: 4 Stars
We have liked Canon scanners in the past and this Canon CanoScan 8800F seems to be living up to Canon's reputation for quality products that work well with Macs. I chose this particular model to replace 4 aging AGFA scanners at our school in part because it came bundled with some OCR software. I was very disappointed to find that the OCR software Canon included was a version that was a couple of years old and not compatible with the Mac OS 10.6. I felt there should at least have been a disclaimer to that effect, but instead we had to wait to find that out until the installer of the OCR software failed. I had to spend another $90 dollars to get that software piece from a third party vendor. That meant the very good price we found through Amazon wasn't such a great price after all. Other than the OCR problem, the scanner is very good. The "no wait" scanning made possible by using LED lamps is very much faster than our old scanners. That is something important when you have a line of students in your class waiting to scan.Digital camera Review: 8800f canoscan
