What's in the Box Canon LiDE 80 scanner; power/USB 2.0 cable; instructions; setup poster; warranty information; Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 CD-ROM; CanoScan Setup CD-ROM, including ScanGear CS (Windows/Mac), CanoScan Toolbox (Windows/Mac), Arcsoft PhotoStudio (Windows/Mac), ArcSoft PhotoBase (Windows/Mac), ScanSoft OmniPage SE OCR (Windows/Mac), NewSoft Presto! PageManager (Windows) and NewSoft Presto! BizCard (30-day trial version, Windows only) For photo and film scanning, the CanoScan LiDE 80 Color Image Scanner has all the power and performance you need for getting detailed images, copying documents, and e-mailing your favorite photos--even preserving your original negatives. Enjoy high speed, high performance. The resolution of the LiDE 80 scanner reaches up to an exceptional 2,400 x 4,800 dpi for film and photos with 48-bit color depth for over 281 trillion possible colors. Yes, trillion. You can scan in photos fast and easily, plus you can now digitize all of your favorite 35mm film negatives with the included Film Adapter Unit. The USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection (Windows XP or Windows 2000 with SP4) lets you scan images fast, with previews available in under 10 seconds. Scan multiple photos at once to save even more time on large projects. "Multi-Scan mode" automatically scans all the pictures placed on the platen glass in a single pass, preparing a separate image file for each. It will even adjust any slightly misaligned photos. Additionally, the LiDE 80 scanner automatically removes many of the scratches and dust particles typically found on older photos. Enjoy convenience and great design. Canon scanner technology doesn't stop with performance. Convenience features include an exclusive Z-Lid expansion top, which lifts up to one inch and stays flat for scanning thick books and magazines. Most other scanner covers can only lift at an angle, so the scans can be incomplete or illegible. For easier operation, just one cable (included) is needed for both power and data connection--no additional AC adapter is required. Four easy-access buttons help automate the scanning process, save images to PDF, e-mail items, or simply make a copy of that important report. You can even save your images directly to CDs--just scan, click, and burn (Windows only). Bundled with the LiDE 80 scanner is a powerful suite of applications, featuring Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0, that are perfect for both professional and first-time users. And last, but certainly not least, with a lid that has a stylish, aluminum spin-carved finish, the LiDE 80 scanner will look great on any desktop.

Fast and Convenient By Mad Dog The Canoscan LiDE 80 is easy to use for a variety of applications and the USB Hi-Speed (no longer USB2) interface is super fast and convenient since it not only is the data link, but supplies power to the scanner. If your power hub is as congested as mine, you'll appreciate this bonus. The LiDE 80 comes standard with a film adapter unit so you can scan 35 mm film or unmounted slide film. although the literature claims the film scanner runs at 2400 x 4800 DPI, I don't buy it. My Nikon fim scanner is 2900 DPI and gives MUCH better scans of 35 mm film. No contest. Then again, it was quite a bit more (4X)expensive than the LiDE 80 and only scans film...The LiDE 80 includes software for automatic retouching of scratches and dust - and it also now has grain and fading correction. I tried these features on color photos taken over 50 years ago and was pleasantly surprised with the results Overall, this is a nice package that goes well beyond the typical bargain scanner. 83 of 88 people found the following review helpful. Good Scanner, Poor OS X Drivers By G. Colasurdo I got this scanner to replace a 1220U for the Film scanning and decent OS X drivers. Unfortunately the drivers on the CD are really bad, but the ones on-line (Tool Box 4.1.3 and LiDE 7.2.1.0 as of this writing) are better, so download them first. PhotoShop Elements is a great bonus but the OmniScan SE is a "classic" only app. Not Canon's fault but still disappointing. Also the film tray is for negatives, not slides so be aware of that. Otherwise it is a nice scanner, light weight, compact and combines USB and power in the same cable (down with AC adaptors!). Mac OS X people get the drivers from the website first. 43 of 44 people found the following review helpful. Great Scanner For The Amateur Photographer By William Weaver I just purchased this scanner to replace a slow, unwieldy HP 5300C After 1 week, here's what I think.===============================================================PROs:1. Slim form factor.2. Good quality photograph scans. Maybe not for a professional, but for us amateurs, it rocks!3. Very quick scanning4. Negative scannning possible with included adapter.5. Canoscan software definitely a cut above the norm6. Windows XP installation is fast and simple.-->a. Install Canoscan Drivers and software, reboot THEN-->b. plug scanner into nearest HighSpeed USB (USB 2.0) port-->c. You're good to go!7. Full Photoshop Elements 2.0 included================================================================CONs:1. A bit noisy2. Some software supplied as "SE" or limited versions3. Scanning Kodak APS film pictures can be tricky due to the nonstandard print sizes.= ================================================================A final piece of advice - make sure you acquire the latest Canon software from the Canon, USA website See all 38 customer reviews....
