Canon CanoScan 8400F

 

Most flatbed scanners that offer slide and film scanning do so as a convenience feature, not for serious scanning. The Canon CanoScan 8400F is the exception, and comes at a surprisingly low price ($149.99 direct). Its scans rival more expensive,...

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...

X-bit labs - Canon CanoScan 8400F Flatbed Scanner: One Level Up

 

Are you looking for an inexpensive but efficient solution to scan your pictures and slides? Then our review might be of great interest to you. We are going to discuss another offering from Canon that supports FARE Level 3 hardware dust and scratches...

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...

CanoScan 8400F

 

This flatbed scanner-a lower-end sibling of the CanoScan 9900F-offers impressive speed and solid scan quality.

Full complement of software ; fast scan times ; good mix of price and features

Only 8-bit grayscale (16-bit internal) ; limited film formats

Software setup is getting a little easier with Canon's scanners. Although you still need to install several separate apps, you're now guided through the process by a single installation wizard. The 8400F supports both high-speed USB 2.0 as well as USB...

CanoScan 8400F

 

The supplied ScanGear CS software allows users to select scan or output resolutions and match scan resolutions to output sizes. However there is no facility for scanning to a fixed file size (eg; 10MB).

Competitive price for features ; Produces colour accurate scans ; Useful bundled software

Limited scanning options ; Limited crop control with high-resolution scans

Consumer review (newegg.com)

no software!

 

I was unaware that no software would be included and wanted to point out to others who assumed. No returns either

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

awesome product

Scans negatives perfectly

Scanning actual photos in the flatbed doesn't come out as nicely as negatives

Fast shipping good support from Canon

 

10 canon Cameras and 6 scanners and this is my first call to Canon support. A stateside guy, proficient, professional, patient, and he got it done for me!

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...

White Spots

 

Wasn't to expensive when i bought it and using other scanning software it does really good pictures, for the price i paid for it
