Description: Model ID N650U / Canon CanoScan N650U - Flatbed scanner - 216 x 297 mm - 600 dpi x 1200 dpi - USB / The groundbreaking CanoScan N650U ... more
Canon Canoscan N650U ... USB flatbed scanner launches a new era in scanning performance, innovation and value - giving you the power to do so much more, for so much less. At just over 2,5 cm high, the N650U scanner is one of the thinnest flatbed scanners in the world. It's also one of the easiest to set up and use. Connect with just a single USB cable to any compatible Mac or PC - no power cord or bulky transformers are necessary. Just plug it in to your computer and scan photos, graphics, copy and more at a remarkable 600 x 1200 dpi for crisp, clear images. Plus, 42-bit resolution gives you over four trillion possible colors for richer, more robust scans. It even has an external programmable button for fast, one-touch scanning.

Canon's exclusive Z-Lid Expansion Top will change the way you scan bulky items, such as books and magazines. Many other scanner covers lift only at an angle and become uneven and awkward when scanning anything that isn't completely flat. The N650U scanner includes a special expansion hinge that lifts up to one 2,5 cm vertically allowing the lid to lie flat, creating the space needed for bulky items.

 ... technology works perfect. The only drawback is that you cannot take scans of 3D objects. If you need a scanner for that purpose you better look somewhere else. N650U is really a bargain. It gives you scans as good as it's big brother N1220U but at lower resolution and lower price. Scan quality is really not an issue here. Compared with some other scanners like Epson Perfection 1240 (costs twice+ the N650) scans are almost sharper with N650U but with a tad lower color resolution I think. N650U has the right price and it is...more

Premium Review Canon Canoscan N650U: This scanner is TOO good. (431 words)

OK, so first the obvious - The 'U' in N650U means 'USB', so unless you know you have a USB port on your computer, don't go here. I have a family member who would like to steal my new scanner, but he can't :-) I read Ciao, and I read DooYoo looking for advice on a good scanner, and both sites pointed me at the Canon N650U. Not because it is the absolute best, but because it is: a) Sensibly priced. It can be had for between £50 and £70 depending on where its bought, and what discount vouchers you have in your sweaty palm this week. b) Better than a home user is ever likely to need. 1200x600 doesn't sound like much ...  Read the complete review

I love my scanner so much I had to spend 2 hours writing a review on it. I'm sure it's worth spending that long writing about your pride and joy. Gone are the days when a flatbed scanner would consume a massive chunk of desk space. Witness Canon's CanoScan N650U, which barely exceeds the dimensions of a legal-size sheet of paper and stands a mere 1.3 inches high. What's more, it draws power from its USB interface, so there's no bulky power adapter. All told, the CanoScan series scanners can almost be categorized as "portable" flatbeds. A quick-start guide walks you through the initial connection to a PC or a Macintosh, the ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Canon Canoscan N650U: CANNOt beat that!! (367 words)
by - written on 30/03/01 (Very useful, 276 readings)

The new Canoscan N650U is in my opinion the best value for money you can get on the market today. Option wise this A4 scanner offers 42 bit colour at optical resolutions upto 600x1200dpi via USB port (meaning you can connect it to your laptop). It is superlight at only 1.5kg and also uses the new LIDE system (LED Indirect Exposure) technology instead of the usual lamp. Unlike other cheap scanner on the market, the 650U enables you to scan quite chunky books with apparent ease. I got this scanner for £75 off the internet, including shipping costs. I've talked to different people, and seen different retailers advertising this product and £75 seems to be just ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Excellent product (418 words)

I picked up the latest Canon Scanner for a mere ATS1690 (ca GBP75) and have been very impressed by its capabilities. Surprisingly, even though it offers better quality scanning (42 bit vs 36 bit) than the N630U it is still cheaper that its predecessor over here (only by 10 pounds!). This scanner is excellent, not least because as a USB device, it can be used on Macs or PCs. However you do need a newish operating system to operate the scanner (in order to support the USB port), namely Mac OS 8.5 or later on Win 98. The installation was a synch, as it is a Plug and Play USB scanner, and as a result doesn't require a power supply either. This helps ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Canon Canoscan N650U: Canon Can! (360 words)

I bought my Canoscan n650u at a computer fair in london, the price was £45 at the time but has gone up recently. But even at the more expensive prices this is a good middle-of-the range scanner. For the first time user, or maybe someone who isn't all that good with computers, this scanner shuold be OK. The scanner plugs into the USB port which should make it easy to install, but unlike normal USB devices, it does require the computer to be rebooted before you can use it. Installing the drivers should be easy too. I say should, my scanner was in fact broken when I bought it, BUT canon sent out an engineer and replaced the broken parts. Well, part. When I first opened ...  Read the complete review
