Poor Quality Control & Support.......2005-06-16

Be warned - DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Unfortunately I can not give this a Zero Star. When purchased new the scanner was faulty, and exhibited poor quality control with particles inside the scanner. It was returned for repair under warranty twice, and finally the main curcuit board was replaced.
I was present when the unit was being reassembled after the replacment of the board and was horrified to see the service tech use metholated spirits to clean the underside of the class as the owners manual clearly states not to do this !!!(it has his grubby finger prints all over it from the repair work).
Despite spending several thousand dollars on Canon products over the years, I will not be buying another Canon product.
Poor quality control and customer services can only be rewarded in this manner.

Dust Inside, aka DOA.......2002-08-17

When you get it, check the inside glass with flash light before you plug it in. Mine was peppered with grime and dust; Scans show these as white specks everywhere! I'm returning this product from company that does no quality checks on its product.

Mine also had DOA film scanner.

You can be sure I'll try to avoid all future canon products.

Veeery sloooow!!.......2002-07-29

I just purchased a 660U scanner. After a 20 minute trial I decided to return it and get my money back. It takes 6 minutes (yes six minutes) to scan a single negative in high res mode. This is absolutely useless

Almost perfect.......2002-04-18

I purchased this scanner for the 35mm negitive scanning. I wasn't disappointed. I setup the machine, installed the software and was up and running scanning negitives in about 30 Minutes. Very nice negitive scanning at 1200x1200 for the price ( I was not interested in purchasing a 400.00 film scanner). Photo scanning was simular in quality. Overall a good product.
The only thing from making it a 5-Star was the time it took to
scan negitives was about 3 minutes though it seemed like forever.

Poor photo quality scans, not worth it for the money.......2002-02-02

Bought this scanner because it was supposed to be a good photo scanner, but when i got it and set it up the quality was worse then the scanner i had gotten for about 60 bucks a year or two earlier. For just everyday scan use and not for nice photo quality scans it worked ok. Was very fast, just don't reccommend if you are looking for a high qualtiy scan. Returned and it took forever to get my money back.
