Canon Canoscan LiDE 50 ... 50 offers a combination of beauty, speed and quality. Canon's own LiDE (LED Indirect Exposure) technology provides scans of up to 1200 x 2400 dpi and 48-bit color with very low energy consumption. It requires no power plug, getting all the power it needs from the USB connection. It is also extremely small and saves valuable desk space. With its supplied stand it can even be used on its side. The Z-lid can handle thick books and magazines.

The USB 2.0 High Speed interface is the new standard in PC connectivity, making it compatible with Windows and Macintosh operating systems and delivering scan speeds up to four times faster than standard USB scanners. The CanoScan LiDE 50 is further equipped with four EZ-buttons which you can configure to perform the functions you use most.

With Canon's fast Multi-Photo mode you can scan up to ten separate images at once and then work on each one separately. If images are turned sideways, the computer software will straighten them automatically.

The LiDE 50 also includes an advanced driver and Canon Toolbox for easy operation. These are accompanied by a variety of powerful applications including Arcsoft PhotoStudio and PhotoBase for image editing, OmniPage SE for Optical Character Recognition, NewSoft PageManager for document archiving and management and Adobe Photoshop Elements for photo image adjustment.

The CanoScan LiDE 50 targets style-conscious users who want the latest technology and style but without compromising the performance.

... too. One the front is four EZ-Buttons, for; scanning, printing, emailing and photocopying. These buttons are very useful if you want to just quickly print off a document or email one to you friend for some reason. This scanner also uses up minimal desk space so you can have enough room for other stuff. One thing though is, try not to get the top of it scratched, bad thing! There is one USB port, and that is the only port. How simple. This is really good, seeing as I travel constantly so now I can only carry around on...more

Because I travel a lot for work, I needed a scanner so that I can scan documents and images. I came across this very handy scanner after looking around for a while for a scanner that was portable, useable and most of all, of high quality. I had already tries several other scanners that were of no use to me at all, either too full of features or not at all and not very good. I found that this one had it all. I found it in review site, I can?t remember which one now, but I managed to pick one up from my local hardware store for about 59.99. A very annoying thing about this scanner was that it came with FIVE software cds; I think they went a little over ... Read the complete review

I had to upgrade to a better scanner from my canon FB630U, I went with the Consumer Reports results and bought a Epson 1260 Photo Scanner because it was rated a faster scan speed than Canon. The Epson was a faster scan but after you had to wait some time for it to warm up. So I sold the Epson and bought the Canon Lide 50 with the high speed usb cable. I was truly amazed beyond the second coming of Christ on how fast and well this scanner works. My old FB630 was slow but this new Canon is everyone's dream come true, the people at Canon has finally gave what the people wanted. Great scans, fast speed, and affordable price. The only thing that I miss is the Fax ... Read the complete review
