Canon's LiDE 600F has replaced the LiDE 500F. It features a 4,800 x 9,600dpi optical resolution and 48-bit colour depth – the first compact scanner to bring both of these features together.

The Canon LiDE 600F film and photo scanner benefits from an amazingly low profile and sports a detachable film scan module.

The main reason I wanted a scanner is to make multiple PDF files available for my web site. Also, I wanted the ability to scan photos and some documents to e-mail to associates and friends. The only criteria I had was simple and easy to set up.

Works great with my mac , especially with space issues. Unit works without a powersupply just a usb connection to my computer. Fast printing speed and good quality on documents and photos as well. Also comes with a separate negative scanner that you hook up when needed. Sweet! Highly recommended.

Reasonably capable for photographic prints; Backlight correction and color restore features in driver

Film scan doesn't work for slides; Scans only one frame of film at a time; Film scanning is extremely cumbersome
