Review on Canon CanoScan Lide 300 Scanner, Compact Design: 1.7 x 14.5 x 9.9 inches by Petar Marchovski ᠌

Some kind of special usb cable is included and it is said that others will not work, although it looks like a normal USB A <-> mini with two inductive shields; Interchangeability with other cables has not been tested. Has pros: Works great in Linux, 100% functionality support in stock sane. Good scan quality. Its cons: Powered by USB port only. Not all ports are capable of delivering 0.9A - on the laptop I had to look for which port would suit.
