Canon CanoScan 4200F

Color-restore feature revives old photos. Surprisingly good OCR accuracy. Scans directly to PDF format

No ADF. Dust and scratch removal feature doesn't do much. Slide scanning produces minimally usable scan quality

The Canon CanoScan 4200F works well enough to let you scan snapshots and slides to print for friends and family, although quality is less than ideal. OCR accuracy is surprisingly good, and the ability to scan directly to a PDF file is a welcome...

If you want a reasonably-priced scanner that scans your photos and documents quickly and to a high standard then this is a good buy, but you'll have to be patient with your 35mm film as this is a much more lengthy process.

Kinda slow with USB1.0. Kinda noisy too

good value, did a good job scanning in some 40+ yr old slides. Easy to set up and use

Is noisy as lamps returns to rest position - startled me the first time I heard it

Fast, high quality output, price

Big footprint, buttons on front annoy me i accidently hit them a few times and it spawned applications, its black which shows finger prints. The #1 thing that annoys me is that it has a poser supply, my old canon scanner did not need one it used the...

I like the direct import to PDF. In general, scan quality is good

After the initial software install, the scanner came up as an unknown device. It took a couple more software install attempts before it would recognize it. This is actually documented in the manual. Then it just didn't work. It turns out it was not...
