Canon CanoScan 8600F scanner: Canon CanoScan 8600F (4 mice)

By James Galbraith (macworld.com)

Although it was a little slow to warm up, and its photo scans were a touch dark, the CanoScan 8600F proved to be a very good all-around scanner and should definitely be considered if you are looking for a high-quality photo and document scanner.

Canon CanoScan 8600F

Great Upgrade

By Mt27 (newegg.com)

I had an older canon scanner that cost less than half as much as this one at the time (3 years ago).

If I had to name a fault, and it may be me, but the film scanning seems a little out of focus/blurry to me-it may be the original film was out of focus-so I can't be sure at this point.

Exceptional Scanner Value

By nsheldon (epinions.com)

I was looking through an old bag of 35 mm photo sets and the though came to me that I should archive these old family photos. How best to do this? Most of the photo envelopes had all the original 35 mm print film negatives. Some only had the ...

Good image quality. Lots of included software. Lots of advanced options. Relatively fast.

Included software for Mac out of date. CCD not quite 48-bit, but close.

Performance Meets Value

By Kev (newegg.com)

Easy to use.

The supplied film guide cannot be purchased as replacement part.

Manufacturer's Description

This powerful scanner delivers spectacular results, with color dpi resolution of 4800 x 9600 (max.). Plus, built-in FARE Level 3 retouching technology helps correct for dust and scratches on your originals, revives faded images and even brightens faces and reduces graininess. Seven easy buttons automate the scanning process, so it's simple to scan, copy and create e-mails and multi-page PDFs. To save time, you can batch-scan up to 12 negative frames or 4 slides, either 35mm or medium format.
