High-quality photo scans. Backlight correction. Color restore. Dust removal. Scan to searchable PDF format

Bundled software offers limited functionality. Relatively slow

The Canon CanoScan LiDE 100 is one of the few remaining scanners aimed at home users who are primarily interested in scanning photographic prints.

Works like a charm. No A/C adapter to worry about

None

I am very satisfied with the piece! Very lightweight, compact, and uses only one USB cord both for power and data transfer. Makes decent images and what's more important for me - PDFs from scratch. Despite multiple comments about this scanner being...

Being picky here: 1) I wish the scanning speed was a little faster; 2) beware, it's all plastic! - which makes it very accident-sensitive; 3) the software is being "simplified" to the point when it gets too confusing; 4) the cord is quite short to make...

Light weight, and doesn't take up too much desk space. Quality isn't as great but its not that bad either

The biggest issue I have with this scanner is that when it idles, it turns off. It might be good for people who turn their computers on and off but I leave my computer on all the time. After being idle, I have to unplug and replug the scanner which is...

1) Portable - Pretty lightweight and thin and narrow. Similar to a laptop ; 2) USB Powered - Huge plus in my book ; 3) Fairly quick scans - I think a full letter size scan took me about 8-10 seconds? I'd say that's not bad for a small portable scanner :)

Windows 7 software not included; best installed if downloaded from Canon's site (they do include a 64-bit version). Software was a bit kludgy in that it had three separate installation pieces

Compact, inexpensive, easy to use, images are very clear and detailed

Scan speed is a bit slow, but not bothersome for someone who uses only occasionally

1. USB powered. NO wallwart or powerbrick to lug around ; 2. Completely transportable ; 3. Perfect for scanning articles and chapters

If you are looking for something to make archival scans of rare photos.... this isn't the droid you're looking for

good price

shipping container light on packing material. Box crushed all to H***, scanner noisy. more than i expected, but at least the unit works
