Canon CanoScan 8400F

Excellent slide-scan quality for a flatbed scanner. Fast scans. Color-restore feature revives old photos. Scans directly to PDF format

No ADF. Dust and scratch removal feature doesn't meet our expectations

When it comes to photos, slides, and film, the Canon CanoScan 8400F shines. The built-in transparency adapter and the film guides work with 35-mm slides, 35-mm film, and 120 format film, with astoundingly good results for a flatbed scanner. The scans...

So this is the end of today's tests and it's time to sum everything up. The Canon CanoScan 8400F has proved to be a really fast scanner with a rather small lamp warm-up time. I want to advise you however not to skip the calibration procedure, which is...

I don't know yet

This does not include the CD to install the software. You have to go thru Canon and the Arcsoft Photostudio is not included

no

It looks nice

Won't work on Mac or XP systems. Canon cutomer support confirms a harware problem. Lock switch id intermittent.....mostly locked regardless of position. Had it 24 hours before Canon agreed to send another unit. This time they say it will be tested...

A recently bought CanoScan 8400F. When scanning in any of the color modes a yellow stripe develops along the right side of the scan. Re-installing the drivers does not work. Canon says repair. The repair costs more than the actual price of the unit,...
