An excellent scanner. It scan fast in black white or colours. It also scan in crop in pictures or re size and a lot of you can do with scanner.

Quite easy to operate, Canon Canoscan LiDE 210 Scanner also offers numerous features to cater to the user requirements. The Desktop Colour Flatbed Scanner presents the CIS scanning element. 3-colour (RGB) LED is the provided Light Source.

I actually liked this scanner for about a year and a half, but then it stopped working and just made grinding noises. The scanner was on my desktop the whole time and and it was never dropped and nothing was stacked on it, it just stopped working.

Build Quality

I found that the scanner worked fine with the software that comes bundled with it and does what it suppose to do with this software. However, this software does have its limitations (e.g. OCR works only with Notepad) and because of this I would prefer to use third party software.

I've had this scanner for over a year, and I like the fact that it operates off the USB alone - no power cord! The MP Navigator EX utility is also very flexible and useful. I especially like being able to create a multi-page PDF from several scanned pages.

Flatbed scanners cover the full range of scanning needs, from single-page SOHO devices to high quality photo scanners and high throughput archival scanners. Canon's CanoScan range is aimed at consumers and the LiDE 210 is a little above its entry-level offerings.

Quick and generally above-average scans; ScanGear is effective scanner applet; Easy multi-page PDF creation

Very basic OCR; Trouble resolving black and white test pattern; Dust/scratch removal only passable

I'd say buy this scanner if you do nothing more than documents and possibly a few photos. There is no need to buy a scanner with all the bells and whistles unless they are needed.

This scanner is nice and sleek and will fit in nicely in cramped quarters; It also makes great scans

The install CD does not have divers for Windows7, 32 or 64 bit; I learned this by putting it on an older computer just to check it out while waiting for a new computer; I had to contact Canon about it and they promptly gave me a reply with how to download the drivers.

I am very satisfied with this scanner. Scans quicly. It produces high resolution and accurate colors. Can be used to create pdf files from scanned documents.

Accurate Color; Easy To Set Up; Fast Image Processing; Fast scan; Good Bit Depth; Good Resolution; Widely Compatible

Cannot send e-mail from scanner's e-mail button with Windows 7. But I am sure this is working with XP and Vista.

The Canon CanoScan LiDE 210 Color Image Scanner flatbed scanner delivers high-quality photo scans at a low price by leaving out a film scan feature for those who don't need it.

High-quality photo scans; Fully automatic mode for easy scanning; Backlight correction; Color restore; Scans to searchable PDF format

Extremely limited features in bundled software
