Canon CanoScan LiDE 25 Color Image Scanner (0307B001)

I've only been using this scanner for a few weeks, but it is working great, it stores easily and produces very good scans in color and grayscale.

Does a good job scanning an image, but it is noisier than previous scanners that I've had.

I'm giving this product a 4, in part for the service which Canon provides, which is very good. I ordered the CanoScan LiDE25 on March 28th, began using it a week later, and it stopped working near the end of September. I was sent a replacement soon after contacting customer support by email. The replacement I've received is a LiDE70 and the installation disk was defective, but within a day I was emailed information from CanoScan tech support (after a few tries) that made it possible to download the installation software from the Canon website and my replacement scanner is now working. For the price - and especially for the customer, tech and sales support - I'm satisfied. Satisfied with Canon support generally - have found it good and quick for all products I own. I like Kodak quality too, but their online and phone support is virtually non-existent and so I buy Canon instead. Similarly, with Samsung I've had great tech support so now for both quality and support I buy Samsung instead of HP.

I purchased the model several years ago. I'd been quite happy with it, it worked on my PCs or my Macintoshs. The problem now is Canon has not kept up with the drivers on the Macintosh and since I don't use PCs anymore this unit is dead weight. Searching the Internet for alternate drivers shows me many other people have the same issue with driver software and there seems to be no alternatives. It is not USB 2.0 compatible BTW. It was not designed to be.

It does good job for documents and photos. The only problem is a little bit slow.
