This scanner has functioned flawlessly since pruchase in July 2009. I use it exclusively to scan very old B&W photos of my Mother's. It is very portable and runs fine on the powered USB connection of a new Dell laptop with 4 gigabyte RAM and 2.4 GHz processor running Vista. I have only used the automatic scan settings and am saving files as high resolution jpg's. I have not tried to print any yet. The displayed images look great and are much easier for my nearly 89 year old Mom to see than the old prints.One of the great attractions to this unit is the portability. It fits easily in the second pouch of my laptop bag and takes up limited table space when using. I find scanning 1 to 5 photos to be auto-recognized takes about 10 seconds until the files pop up on my screen. It has done well with a variety of contrasts in the originals. I did not read instructions extensively prior to using the scanner; only the Quick Set-up sheet. I was scanning in approximately 10 minutes after opening the box. This is my first scanner so that illustrates the ease of set-up.Additionally the cost is quite low and shipping was fast from Amazon.I highly recommend this scanner.

I like Canon products. I really do. I've owned several over the years and there's always one on my wishlist. This LiDE 200 scanner is attractive, lightweight, was relatively easy to set up, and most of all, delivers good images for my uses. Those are all things I expect from Canon. Unfortunately, what I also expect and definitely received is horrible software. It is slow, confusing, inconvenient, and seemingly impossible to override. It was clearly not designed with an understanding of how someone wants to easily use a scanner as a small part of everyday life or business. So the scanner, instead of being a helpful minor tool that makes life easier, becomes a chore to be "dealt with". Sad. It could have been different so easily.

Recently, I realized it was time to replace my UMAX Astra 3400 Scanner. It still worked after seven years of use, however, it was slow to scan a picture, usually fifteen to twenty minutes. That's a lot of time out of one's life. The other factor is the images were not that sharp, and it came with a lot of useless bloat ware and a power brick that was really oversized. I believe the UMAX cost me about [...]. I'm in the process of writing my memoirs and scanning old family photos, some dating back from the turn of the last century. I really needed something that would work well and be 'state-of-the-art' in the quality of scanning. After reading good reviews about the Canon LiDE 200 scanner from both professional and user accounts, I decided to take a chance on it. First, the price was under [...], and it was a Canon! I also liked the fact that the scanner didn't require a power brick - both power and data traveled on the same USB cable. That means its ideal for use with a notebook running off batteries. And its reasonably light. I use a free photo processing software called PhotoFiltre from SnapFiles. What I like about the Canon LiDE 200 is it works very well with this software. I've successfully blown-up 2"x3" photos that have filled up my 19" widescreen monitor - the picture whether color or black and white photos even from the 1920's are sharp and have a lot of snap no matter how far the pictures are enlarged. Pictures that normally look okay to the naked eye, look fantastic with a lot of great detail that one might have missed. The only downside is if the picture has any dust, it shows up in the sharp scanned shot from the Canon LiDE 200. - that's not the fault of the scanner, it's the quality of the original print. Do I love my Canon LiDE 200? You betcha I do!-) For what it does, it gets five stars from me - its that good!- Andrew, [...] -

I decided to replace my old "all in one" printer which I was using as a scanner and a photocopying with the Canon LIDE200. I liked the specification: 4800x4800 dpi and a claimed 11 second scan rate.The first thing I noticed as I was unpacking the scanner from the box was a mysterious WARNING about unlocking the lid of the scanner. The scanner was packed with the lid unlocked (as I found out later), and the instructions mentioned to keep the lid locked for travel or extensive handling. Fair enough, but it made me wonder if I had already done something bad to my scanner (I hadn't).I then installed the software. I expected big things from Canon here, because generally they are pretty smart about software. The software, in terms of use, is much better than the software I had for scanning with my old scanner. The scanner has an "easy" setting that basically just scans at 300DPI without a fuss. If you want to scan at full resolution, you have to open the "driver" that exposes a page with all the bells and whistles to let you really fine tune your scan and set the highest resolutions.All this was fair enough, however I found a few minor disturbing problems with the software. Firstly, once you've opened the "driver", it's not intuitive to figure out how to get back to the "no brainer" mode. Also, when you want to save your scan, it always seems to default to the scanning library it sets up. If you override it, it doesn't stay "changed". This is a slight pain. I always wonder who they hire to test and give feedback, because I always feel like I'm pointing out what should be the "obvious" to large companies like Canon (actually I really love Canon - so take no offense!).As far as scanning speed is concerned, the scanner does indeed scan a 300 dpi page in about 11 seconds (that's pretty fast folks). However, the estimate does not include the 3 seconds the software takes to respond to the command to begin scanning (I'm running a duo core processor - no slouch) and the few seconds it takes to save the image. All in all, speed is impressive.Now on to document quality. I tried scanning a few brochures and to be honest, at 300 DPI I wasn't super impressed with the result. So I went into the "driver" at set the scanning at maximum resolution (4800 x 4800). You get a pretty good result at that resolution, but by no means was I blown away. Perhaps more "tweaks" of the driver is needed. I noticed that the scanner attempts to "improve" the picture (which it does) but some of the detail of the text was a little off (brochure had images and text). I wondered if the lid of the scanner was making really good contact. Next time I will add a few pages of plain white paper behind the image and see if it makes a difference.I tried scanning a printed document, and compared it to a printed document I scanned using my old scanner. I scanned the image to a PDF and low and behold, a major, major improvement (at 300 DPI).So, I gave the scanner four "stars". Why not five? Well, the software is much easier to use than my old scanner, but still not without a few minor "quirks". This is a great scanner for scanning documents. How well it will actually scan and reproduce a photo is still in question, and perhaps I need to learn how to use the driver software better. I don't think I could scan an original photo without seeing some degradation in quality.I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences regarding copying photos. I hope I'm wrong in my assessment, because I really expected a 4800x4800 scanner to reproduce "dead on" copies of a photo.
