Canon Canoscan LiDE 30 ... scanner that offers high-resolution scanning and all the latest features? The CanoScan LiDE 30 USB Flatbed Scanner has it covered. Just over an inch high, it has all the features you need to scan images, copy documents or e-mail your favorite photos. Quality is outstanding with up to 1200 x 2400 dpi resolution and up to 48-bit depth that delivers stunning color reproduction with more than 281 trillion possible colors. All at the touch of a button. To scan, place the photo on the platen and push the "scan" button - that's it. "Copy" and "e-mail" functions are just as simple. Operation is made even easier with just one cable for power and USB - no extra AC adapter needed. The LiDE 30 scanner even removes much of the minute dust and scratches on photos automatically with built-in QARE 2.0 (Quality Automatic Retouching and Enhancement) technology.

Scan multiple photos at once with the push of a button. "Multi-Scan mode" is automatically activated and scans all the pictures in a single pass, preparing a separate image file for each. It will even adjust any slightly misaligned photos. Scanning multi-pages into a PDF file is just as easy. Innovative software even allows you to save your images directly to CDs as easily as scan, click and burn. The LiDE 30 scanner is small but can tackle big jobs. The exclusive Z-Lid expansion top lifts high and stays flat for scanning books and magazines. Most other scanner covers lift only at an angle, often resulting in poor scans.

... printers are anything to go by is a rareity. The scanner also comes bundle with some nice software one of which is able to take a photo image and convert in a word processing document so if you loose a file but have a print out you don't have to retype it, this software in itself is worth as much as the scanner cost to me. One major draw back tho' if you loose the CD's it comes with don't expect canon's website to be any use at all - yes all the items you "need" are they to run the scanner pitty none of them...more

Have owned a Canon Lide 30 for over a year now and can quite happy say it was a bargain :) When working with good software (Adobe Photoshop) it works amazing well and produces really nice images. Can run at a max 1200 dpi (600dpi with descreen enabled essential if your scanning a photo image) and produces massive images files, yes you need a decent computer if you set everything to maximum or be prepared to wait a very long time. The major plus sides of this scanner are the very top end image results and the very low price. As with all things which are cheap and high quality theres a catch, its not very quick, can take a good few minutes to scan its A4+ ... Read the complete review

The other half had been going on about a scanner for sometime, before she finally went on a mad shopping spree the other day, and came back with a scanner (amongst other things). Don't women love to shop. Thankfully though, I think she made a wise decision when she went for the Canon Canoscan LiDE 30. We must have all heard of Canon, they are Japanese company, specialists in producing imaging and optical products, and have been around since 1933. Maybe you didn't know they originally had the name "Kwanon"!! ** Box Contents ** I remember the old scanner I used to have ... Read the complete review

At the start of this year I bought a new PC and with it came a whole new bundle of fun in the shape of Windows XP. To be honest I wasn't looking forward to the change of operating systems but, almost a year on, I'm now quite fond of it. I was pretty lucky in that most of my hardware and software worked without any problems on the new system but I did have one casualty from the upgrade. My very old and very bulky scanner refused point blank to do anything at all. In truth I had been thinking about changing it for a while before I bought my new PC but since my old scanner did the job (just about) I couldn't really justify the cost of a new ...
