Advantages: quality of output, styling, size

Disadvantages: long term durability???

Canon have produced the goods again. I write this review as a scanner novice who has finally taking the plunge. The scanner doesn't tend to be the first piece of hardware considered and I write this review with first time users in mind.

The Canon N122OU and the software packages supplied produce great scans and offers the means of manipulating your results simply yet with dramatic effects.

The USB lead is designed so that no extra power sources are required and the unit design oozes class and style.

As a designer and a student the tool is suiting my every needs although its design doesn't suggest particular long term ruggedness. For the home user looking for stunning results this tool has to be a must - I have tried printing results from a Xerox M750 and a Canon S600 (see review) and both have been atleast impressive.

The styling of the scanner is cutting edge meaning it will fit anywhere and its performance (see review by PenguinKathryn) is 1st rate - go on treat yourself
