Advantages: Excellent image quality, great design, great software

Disadvantages: none

This scanner felt great even the first day I bought it - today it feels even better since I have compared it with the new CanoScan N670U. The newest technology doesn't mean that it is the best technology. N650U outperforms N670U in every area. Scans taken with N650U are clearer, brighter, have more details, have less noise, colors are more natural, and so on.
CanoScan N650U has no optics. It has LED's (light emitting diodes) placed directly under the glass (inside a scanning head). This technology is called LIDE and is Canon's own. In my opinion this 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 perfect for people who want great image quality at low cost. Bravo Canon.
