Advantages: Excellent value for money, Good quality output, styling
Disadvantages: doesnt come with a negative adaptor
I recently bought the Canon N670U after doing some research both on the internet and around the shops. My previous scanner had been an Epson which ran through the parallel port. Having moved to using NT4 then win200o and finally XP pro ,non of these operating systems supported my old scanner so i was forced to upgrade. I wasnt keen on paying lots of money for something i didnt plan on using a lot and had almost given up on finding a suitable product when my eyes settled upon the Canon during a last hope visit to my local PC world store. Its sleek lines and style were the first thing that attracted me ,then the price . But could should a cheap scanner deliver the goods ? . I had my doubts but then Canon are well respected for their imaging technology so out came my wallet and the deal was done. The Canon is simplicity itself to install. Just connect the USB cable ,turn on, load the CD,job done. There is a conprehensive booklet but it is almost un-necessary as it is so simple and intuitive to use. Any worries about quality were quickly dispelled. The scan quality is excellent,much better then my more expensive previous scanner. Added bonus;s are the sleek styling,lightness and portability ,included software which included photosuite and omnipage and the fact that it doesnt require a power supply ,being powered from the USB port. These means it could easily be carted around with a lap top should you need to. To summarise then,a top quality product at a bargain price. You don;t need to spend any more for a scanner unless you want something really specialised.

- 07/10/02 Thanks for bringing this product to our attention.
I am a little worried about the lack of external power supply. I know from experience that scanners can pull a lot of current and have heard various scare stories about overloading the USB power driving capability.
Let us know if your USB starts playing up.
Thanks again,
