We continue our reviews and this time it’s a scanner. We all use scanners at home for family slides, photos and negatives or at the office, because it’s easy and fast. But what are the best of all these models? Today we’re here with a Canon CanoScan 8800F to see if it’s good of anything.

Like always we start with the manufacturer’s description:

• Auto-Image Fix
• Certified USB Hi-Speed
• Mac OS and Windows Vista compatible
• 19200 dpi by Software
• resolution of up to 4800 x 9600 color dpi; up to an amazing 19,200 color dpi
• 35mm 4 x 12
• Medium Format
• 48-Bit depth yields over 281 trillion possible colors.
• Incredible resolution: The included software greatly enhances resolution, up to an amazing 19,200 color dpi.

This review is not going to be long because the facts talk for the Canon CanoScan 8800F scanner. I was very impressed with the great software that allowed me to do everything I wanted, and with the high quality of the scans. It is one of the best ways I’ve found to scan negatives and slides while at the same time to offer great paper scans.

There were things I liked less like the fact that scanning is pretty slow, but I guess there’s a price to quality.
