Review on Canon 0307B001 CanoScan Color Scanner by Mario Beaklini

I needed a compact and slim scanner for my laptop (15-1/2 inches wide). I don't want to spend a lot for an additional, but more convenient scanner) and everyone said that the only downside of the Canoscan is slower scanning. Buy a scanner whose only downside is its slowness. Easy to set up with my Vista operating system, CanoScan fits on the shelf of my small laptop when not in use. It can scan to regular image formats, but can also scan to PDF (also with the ability to create multi-page PDFs), OCR, and do something I've never had with my previous scanners, which is scanning multiple images in a single pass , but creating separate pages for each image, not just one. The benefit is that there is no extra power cord for HP; This scanner only uses one of your USB ports! Scanned images come out crisp (up to 300 dpi), text is easy to read and image colors match, or you can customize them with an easy-to-use interface. Didn't realize it was slower than my Epson Scanjet scanner (which has moved to second place now that I have it). While I didn't have to travel, this scanner seems thin enough to fit in a laptop bag. Now if someone just designs a printer that prints 8x10 pages with a thin printer, I can fit everything I need in almost no space.
