Checked out a lot of portable scanners. This was best for the price. No complaints---works as advertised....simple, fast, high quality PDF. Highly recommend.

Everything I need for a good price; easy to set up ; small learning curve

Sometimes grabs more than 1 page at a time

A growing subdivision of the scanner market is mobile devices, which derive all the power they need from a single USB connection. Most are fairly basic, but Canon's ImageFORMULA P-215 goes quite a bit further than most.

Can scan ID cards; Neat cover/feed tray; 20-sheet feed tray

No case supplied; Photo scanning could be better; Bit heavy for true portability

I HIGHLY recommend this scanner. I can store it in my Laptop bag, and pull it out anytime I need it. I have scanned hundreds of pages of documents with it and am very pleased with the PDF output.

I love this little scanner; I literally can't believe how often I end up using it; I scan just about everything with it including important receipts, documents, and more; I thought I would use this a few times per month, but once I got used to using it, I now use it almost every day for one thing or...

Before receiving the scanner, I was aware that the 3rd party software Vuescan was not supporting the P-215, but I had hoped to get it to work; Even trying to use the twain drivers, I couldn't get it to work.

I like how compact the unit is, the software installed easily and works fine. Canon is a world leader in digital image processing so that is why I went with the unit. I was able to get a good deal on Ebay for this. Cons. Typical Canon. No AC power source included and no case included.

A portable scanner is inevitably something of a niche product, but if you sometimes need to scan documents when you're out visiting clients then Canon's new P-215 might be just what you're looking for.

Fast; Compact portable scanner; Draws power from USB on host computer

Expensive; Relatively modest scanning resolution

Works well. Love the compact design. Really saves on desktop space. Speed is sufficient for nearly any task. Only holds a few sheets at a time, but seems to feed well. Like that it is powered by USB. The price is right for its capabilities too. A definate recommend!

Great product, I love its small size and considerable speed. Everything is better than expected really, but I'll concentrate here on these tiny annoyances that surfaced on my watch. The first problem concerns the scanning software.

Accurate Color; Easy To Set Up; Good Resolution

Few Paper Formats Work

This things works great. I got it to organize a great deal of documents and to have a small sized scanner for when you're on the move. The business card feature works well, it uses USB 3 and does OCR (optical character recognition) as it scans which is great. 4 stars because of price.

Works great; has basic software needed built into a small flash memory storage

Seems a bit fragile; expensive

Although the scans are crisp & clean, it regularly pulls two pages through at once. Having said that, it's fairly heavy & solid in construction. Shows up as a drive on my mac (I think because of the flash memory which contains the software onboard).

We have three of these scanners at our office! Love them! Only downfall - can't scan thick cards (i.e. insurance cards)....

Doesn't Jam; Good Value; Easy to Use; Fast; Quality; Easy to Set Up; Performance

can't scan insurance cards
