Need to scan both front and back of magazine page? Turn to Canon's Scan-tini and you'll have it in six seconds (just be gentle with...
Speedy scanning, at just six seconds per page. Once configured, scans directly to Evernote with no problems. Document feeder holds up to 20 sheets. Can scan both sides at once
A bit chunky. Document tray and paper guides seem a bit flimsy. Complicated setup. Doesn’t scan to cloud services other than Evernote. Needs to be plugged into two USB ports for maximum velocity

Canon has managed to shoehorn a 20-page automatic document feeder (ADF) into the P-150, along with duplexing (scanning both sides of a page at the same time) capabilities. Its speed would be a reasonable clip for a desktop scanner, at 15 pages per...
Automatic document feeder. Rated at 15 pages per minute for black-and-white and grayscale scans. Duplexes
Relatively large and heavy for a portable scanner. Initial setup is a touch harder than it should be
The Canon imageFormula P-150 Scan-tini more than justifies its large size with fast speed, an automatic document feeder, and the ability to scan both sides of a page.

If you're in the market for a portable USB document scanner, or just one that requires minimal desktop space, the Canon imageFormula P-150M should definitely be on your short list.
When you connect the Scan-tini to your Mac, a drive icon mounts on your desktop. This small, 14.4MB volume holds a stripped-down version of Canon’s CaptureOnTouch Lite software. Canon calls this feature “Plug and Scan” and it means that you don’t have...

Can this portable sheet-feed scanner put in a premium performance away from home?
Speedy ; Excellent portability
Too unreliable ; Doesn't like multiple pages

Imagine the scene. You're on the road. You're tired and lugging several suitcases behind you, including your laptop. And you've also got to haul along a scanner with you. If this situation seems familiar then you may already have looked over portable...
Canon can be proud of what it’s achieved here. The Canon imageFORMULA P-150 is much lighter and better-looking than the competition. Only the ScanSnap S300 can get close on portability, but that scanner isn’t as powerful or as capable of as...

The Canon Imageformula P-150 is the latest mobile scanner from Canon. It sells for under $300 online, and can scan at duplex up to 20 sheets per sitting. A perfect portable scanning companion for your mobile office. Definitely compact in size,...
Windows, Mac and Linux support is a bonus. The size and design are very appealing and matches the traditional IBM Thinkpad look that many mobile business users have grown accustomed to. Software, if not using third-party applications could be a deal...
Expert review by : Kat Orphanides (itpro.co.uk)
Canon touts the P-150 as the fastest portable scanner in the world. We review it to see if it's got the quality and usability to match.
For deskbound office users, the Imageformula P-150 is too expensive and its highest quality scan mode too slow to make it worth buying, even if you're desperate to save desk space. However, if your business relies on travelling representatives who need...
Consumer review (newegg.com)
I just finished scanning 51 double-sided, color and grayscale pages of a booklet and it didn't skip a page, pull multiple pages or jam once. I did separate them into stacks of 15 pages before setting them on the feeder. In any event, this little (and I...
Very small footprint - will fit on most any workspace. Driverless install/use with Windows 7 and on-device OnTouch software works much better than expected ; Very fast scanning at 300dpi - color and B/W ; Quiet, efficient (powers off when you close...
I haven't tested this with Linux yet. Results may vary on that platform, but works like a dream with Windows 7
Consumer review (newegg.com)
Minor, would be nice if it could accommodate thick items (card stock). Wish Canon had included a useful software package instead of paperport. That cost one egg on rating.
Love the scanner. Love that it has built in software. Document feeder works well so far (max 4 pages in my use). The Canon software does a great job at producing searchable PDFs, my main use. I have not tried pictures etc, but I have a flatbed for...
Hate the Paperport (Nuance) software. The interface is cluttered. If you try to work on file in it, it conveniently (not) moves the file to folder of its choice. I have files where I want them, leave them there. The worst is that I bought the scanner...

Fairly easy to use if you want basic scanning. Came in handy a couple of weeks after purchasing. Saved me a lot of leg work
None so far
