Excelente producto, fue lo que solicite y que me esta sirviendo mucho

Great

I am the family genealogist and as such I have hundreds of photos to digitize. Found an article that named the 10 best scanners for this process. This scanner was second on the list and within my price range. .... I am very happy with my all-in-one, but it does not do well with black and white pictures - nor does it do well with separating multiple pictures set to be scanned. This little LiDE 120 does exceptionally well with both those concerns. It is easy to set up and even easier to use. It is small and light enough so that mine sits on a pulled out file drawer. I can digitize 35-40 images within an hour whereas the all-in-one would take hours to do this. In other words, it is fast, quiet and efficient. It is even easy to use when scanning 'thick' items such as pictures within a frame.Great product at a very reasonable price.

Ich habe mir diesen Scanner gekauft da es für meinen alten Epson Scanner keinen Treiber für Windows 7 gibt. Ich benötige einen Scanner in erster Linie zum Kopieren über meinen Drucker. Ein weiteres Einsatzgebiet ist das Scannen von Kassenzetteln und Notizen. Für diesen Einsatzzweck scheint das Gerät ideal zu sein. Es benötigt keine eigene Stromversorgung, denn es wird über USB gespeist. Das ist sehr praktisch, denn man muss den Scanner weder ein- noch ausschalten. Wenn man ihn benötigt gibt es ein Kontrollzentrum über das man die meisten Aufgaben, die man mit diesem Gerät verrichten möchte (kopieren, Dokumente oder Bilder scannen), steuern kann. Die Software ist in meinen Augen durchdacht. Die Auflösung des Scanners ist meinem Anwendungszweck angepasst. Denn eine super tolle Auflösung ist immer mit super großen Dateien verbunden. In den meisten Fällen ist mir aber eine kleine Datei lieber. Die kann man dann auch mal als E-Mail verschicken. Der Scanner ist mit seinen 70 € ziemlich billig. Dieser Eindruck bestätigte sich auch beim auspacken des Gerätes. Sämtliche Plastikteile wirkten fragil und zerbrechlich. Das Geräusch was beim Scannen eines Dokumentes erzeugt wird ist alles andere als solide und vertrauenserweckend. Das Geräusch ist den billigen Materialien geschuldet die in diesem Gerät verbaut sind. Da war mein 20 Jahre alter Epson Scanner aus einem ganz anderen Holz geschnitzt; soll heißen: gebaut für die Ewigkeit. Bei diesem Canon Scanner habe ich nicht den Eindruck dass er für die Ewigkeit bestimmt ist. Ich bin froh wenn er die Garantiezeit überlebt. Aber was will man für 70 € erwarten. Zumindest ist die Software praxistauglich. Ich denke man muss bei diesem Gerät das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sehen und das ist in meinen Augen gut. Aus diesem Grunde werde ich das Gerät mit fünf Sternen.

I originally was going to use this with my Windows 10 PC but I saw some people saying the scanner didn't work well with Windows 10. So then I decided I'd use it with my iMac. I had read someone else's review that said it was simple plug and play on the Mac. It wasn't. I plugged it in and it didn't work. Checked the Mac system and it could see the Canon device on the USB port but it wasn't configure. I manually downloaded the drivers from Canon's site and installed everything. Then I turned my computer off and back on to make sure the device was booted up properly with the computer and drivers.It works wonderfully. I've scanned in up to five different pictures at once so far. As long as you have a gap between your pictures the scanner can tell they're separate pictures. I will be using the scanner a lot in the next month or so scanning photographs so I can have a permanent record in the cloud in case of flood or fire. I'll also be scanning in important documents using the PDF feature for similar reason.Normally I'd only give this a 4 star review because the software that I had to download from Canon isn't laid out as simplistically as it should be. But I bought it for quick mass picture scanning and it works like a champ at that so I'm giving it five stars. It serves my purposes perfectly.

This is a great little scanner for the price. For many years I've used a multifunction printer / scanner and they are great, especially if you need to scan 20 or 30 pages with the sheet feeder. The multifunctions are usually large and don't fit on your desk so using them involves getting up and going to the scanner. It's inconvenient to get up and go the printer for a one or two page scan and really inconvenient for a flatbed scan. As it happened, I needed to scan a lot of old photos and that would involve a lot of walking back and forth between my computer and the flatbed scanner on the printer. So, I looked around for a small inexpensive scanner to put right on my desk for this project. I found this little scanner and decided the quality (300 DPI for photos and documents) and price was acceptable for my purposes.Not only have I managed to scan more than 500 old photos for my project but I also find myself using this little scanner every day. I'm using it much more than I expected since it's so convenient. I really don't use the mutifunction scanner that much anymore unless I have a large sheet scan project.Here are the PRO's:1. As I said, it's really convenient right on my desk.2. Works great with Windows 7 and 10 and you can download the latest drivers3. Any application you have that utilizes a scanner will likely work with this scanner so you don't need to use the Canon software, just the drivers for this scanner. In addition to the Canon Software, I use ScanWiz or NAPS2 (donations software) for most document scans.4. For photos, I like the Canon Software that came with the scanner. I will agree the Image Garden, ScanGear, and IJ Scan programs are not that user-friendly. There are a lot of settings and like most graphic software, it just takes time to figure out how they work. My old photo scan project forced me to dig into the Canon software. It works very well but be patient.5. You can scan multiple photos on a single scan and have them automatically squared, cropped and make some basic image corrections.6. Powering the scanner using a single USB connection eliminates an extra power supply eliminating some wiring clutter, however, in the case of this scanner it can be a CON.Here are the CON's:1. Initially I had some instances of the scanner disconnecting from my desktop computer and I got a scanner not available message. I tried it with my laptop and kept getting a message to unlock the scanner even though the lock switch was in the unlock position. I noticed other users had the same problem. I searched the internet and found some fixes using a shorter USB wire or connecting the scanner to a powered hub. This indicated to me the scanner wasn't getting enough power from the USB port. I experimented and found the most effective solution was a relatively cheap USB 2.0 Y Cable for External Hard Drive - USB A to mini B. It's designed to increase the USB power needed for external hard drives but it works and provides the necessary power for this scanner. This cable connects to two USB ports (a minor CON since it ties up two of your USB ports) and draws power from both to increase the power available to the mini USB port on the scanner. This fix, a 1ft cable available from Amazon for under $5.00 works great. Just search Amazon for USB Y Cable for External Hard Drive - USB A to mini B. For this scanner, make sure you get the one for the USB A to mini B since the USB Y Cable is also available as a USB 2.0 with a micro-B and a USB 3.0 with a micro-B.2. I think Canon built too many options into the software included with this product. There should have been a quick and easy version for less technical users as well as the more complex version which was included.Since adding the USB Y Cable I haven't had any problems and the scanner works great. There would be a great many more positive reviews for this scanner if Canon had made consumers aware of this potential power problem in their troubleshooting or support for this product. Everything considered it's a great product and I highly recommend it.

I ordered this one in winter 2016. I feel like it's a ton of capability for a very low price. I had previously owned an HP flatpanel scanner, and it worked fine for many years. But it finally stopped working after 10 years or so. I shopped for the best replacement, and it seemed to be this product. I find the hardware is excellent, works like a top right out of the box. The software has quite a bit of capability, and after a brief familiarization effort, I found that it was easy to use and had all the capability that I need for my document scanning purposes. With the low price, I can't imagine a better computer appliance in this paperless age we live in to capture medical documents, tax documents, important papers and process visual data. You really can't beat the quality and capability for the price. Everyone should have one in their home office.

This is the second we buy for our laboratory at the University of Montreal. It is really easy to use and good quality. We share it between many people, since it can be carried from desk to desk and plugged into different computers in a second. The older one we have is still fine after 3 years of intensive use. We have 2 now, so that we have one at the office too.
