Canon Canoscan 5600F Scanner [REVIEW]

 

Looking over my shoulder recently, I was surprised at how much I have come to depend on a scanner. Early on, I had a love/hate relationship with desktop scanners, mainly because of their early and fiddly operating software.

And don't bring up the topic of dedicated film scanners!

Easy to set up

 

Our IT director bought this brand new and then our office went to tiny scanners so I got this for the very good price of freeeee. It didn't come with a disk so I was easily able to download the driver on Canon's site (needs the driver installed first I...

Mixed Feelings on 35mm scans

 

I already owned a Canon MX700 multli-function printer which has a fine scanner, but I purchased this scanner, based on the many favorable reviews, for its ability to scan 35mm film and slides. I have many thousands of slides and negatives taken over...

Great for Slides

 

Bought this scanner, after reviewing several on-line, to scan a bunch of my Dad's old 35mm slides. It works great for this purpose. I was up and scanning in a matter of minutes. It is a little loud when operating and does take up a fairly large space...

Does exactly what I wanted it to

 

Years of photos that need preserving and my best solution would be digital scrapbooking. My Canon scanner did a beautiful job on an 80 year old wedding picture of my parents and is easy and fast to use (I can scan four snapshots at one time and file...

Limitations for film scanning

 

I thought the 5600F scanner would scan negatives larger than 35 mm. I have glass negatives, e.g., which are 5" x 7". Otherwise, I am very satisfield with the scans of old photographs

Canon means quality

 

I purchased this product to replace another Canon scanner that was not compatible with Windows 7. I also wanted/needed one with its own power supply as I connect it to a laptop.

Great buy

 

This was purchased as my first scanner purchase in about 15 years. Thing shave improved. The scanner is faster with better resolution. The connection to my Mac was nothing, the software loaded perfectly and is intuitive and easy to use
