Satisfied
I'm quite satisfied with my Canon Canoscan 8800F. It works well with 35MM slides, photos, and black & white images. It is quick and easy.

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.

HP replacement
I replaced my HP 4500 series scanner with the Canon 8800 after I found that to replace the HP burned-out bulb I had to buy a $99 (plus mailing) assembly. The Canon machine is fine but the application software is not as good (for my purposes) as the HP was after upgrading the OCR portion. Other than that, I am pleased with the purchase.
Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.
