Canon CanoScan FS2720U

 

A good general-purpose scanner at a great price (can be had for ~$300). Best suited for negatives. Some high contrast scenes do not scan well from slides due to higher contrast.

Great price, good general performance. 2720dpi is ample for all but large (>11x14) prints. Good TWAIN interface for Photoshop use.

Cannot handle higher-contrast slides. Examples include silhouettes against a light sky, or sunsets that include the sun as a highlight. Any bright highlight will create lots of shadow noise along the length of the sensor, which is very time-consuming...

High Quality Film Scanning on a Budget

 

The CanoScan FS2720U is a terrific tool for the advanced amateur / novice photographer that still use film.

High quality scans, low cost, APS adaptor included.

No automatic scratch/dust removal, not VueScan compatible

I've been using a Canoscan FS2720U for a little over a month now and I have been very pleased with my purchase, so far. Any disappointments that I've had with scanned images from this scanner are always atributable to my inability to get a correct...

Excellent image quality. Perfect for my use at an "enthusiast" level.

This is a terrific product !!!

 

I am an amateur photographer and I must say that I am extremely fussy about the quality of a photograph. I shoot mostly slides and use the scanner primarily for slide scanning to archive and print my shots. Here is my impression of the FS2720U:

Exceptional quality, service, ease of setup

A bit slow at highest resolution, cheaper alternatives available

Canon CanoScan FS2720U

 

We use film scanner in my Photojounarlism class so and loved the way the scans looked so I decided to get one. I saw that B&H had them used at a very good price. The scans have been great and the colors are very nice. I have windows XP and even though...

Fast Scans ** Price **Quality of the scans **Size It fits great on my desk ** Software bundle ** Documentation is also good

It would have been nice too have all the manals in book form printing them out is a pain. The film carrier is a little on the cheap side.

Canon CanoScan FS2720U

 

All in all, I am very satisified with this scanner. Pictures come thru very clean and sharp, and the software is relativly easy to learn. I upgraded from a flatbed scanner, so this is quite an improvement. I would recommend it to anyone looking to move...

size, it doesn't take up much space on the desk ; image quality, price

other than speed, which it doesn't have much of, haven't found any

Canon CanoScan FS2720U

 

I did alot of research before deciding to buy this scanner. $400+ for me is alot of money so I wasn't trying to decide between this and the Nikon as most people on here are. I was trying to decide between several "affordable" scanners: the minolta, HP,...

High quality scans Much cheaper than Nikon Sturdy construction User friendly software Easy setup Does APS film

No batch scanning

Canon CanoScan FS2720U

 

Easy to install and configure; good software that is simple to use; great 8x10 capable scans. Disregard the two negative posts, as they are having simple configuration problems. Well worth the money.

Price ; Simplicity

Resolution could stand to be a bit higher
