Canon CanoScan D660U

 

This CCD-based scanner offers attractive color for Web images and a film adapter, but its performance is slightly sluggish.

The CanoScan D660U will appeal to value-conscious buyers who are willing to trade slow scanning speed and a lower optical resolution for the included transparency adapter and a big software bundle.

Don't buy it, unless you don't care about having dust under your glass

Easy to install and use.

Dust under the glass.

Decent Low-Range Scanner

 

I bought this scanner because I'm cheap and I didn't want to pay $500 for an HP Photosmart, but I needed to scan negs and slides in addition to prints. I paid around $125, I believe, around mid 2001, at Office Depot for this unit. It was very simple to...
