Received this product very quickly. Set up was a breeze.Scanned photos quickly and easily with very good true color. I'm withholding a star because I have not scanned slides yet although I look forward to scanning multiple slides at once.
 Love this scanner! July 8, 2008

I have a huge project where I scan several pages and have to put them into 1 PDF file. It is pretty much a one step process from scanning to creating the multipage PDF file. This scanner does all of that and more. It automatically takes any page from my book that is landscape and rotates it so that it is oriented correctly for viewing on the computer monitor. I feel like it was built to accomodate my needs for this project. There are many other neat things it does, but at this point, these multiple page PDF scans are my priority.
An excellent (though big) all-around scanner July 7, 2008

Though Epson scanners continually get good reviews for their image quality, I have found Epson software to be balky, and image quality to be inferior to the equivalent Canon unit. I haven't tested every model out there, but I have both an Epson and a Canon scanner at my office, and the Canon always produces better results even though it is a cheaper model than the Epson. The headaches caused by the Epson's software gives the Canon an even bigger advantage. When it came time to purchase a scanner for my home, going with the Canon was a no-brainer. The first thing to consider about the 8800 is its size. Obviously, all scanner sizes are determined by the size of the plate, but the 8800 is also a fairly tall unit. Opening the door requires a fair amount of room, and you'll want to measure first if you're considering a shelf mount. My 8800 shipped with Canon's version of Photoshop, which includes most of the basic features the amateur will need. It also came with Photoshop Elements 5.0, which contains a few more advanced features, but is not designed to run natively on Intel-based Mac computers. Put simply, if your Mac is about two years old or newer, the supplied copy of Photoshop will run slowly. Otherwise, the supplied software works well--one of the most convenient features is when you are scanning slides, the software automatically recognizes and separates the individual frames in preview mode, allowing you to pick and choose which ones to scan. The scanning quality is the best I've ever experienced (though I only have tried cheaper scanners than this one), and it does well with film negatives, slides, and prints. The only odd results I've gotten are with semi-gloss finishes such as prom pictures--white "sparkles" appear possibly as a result of some kind of reflection. There are a million settings to play with, and hopefully one will sort out that issue. Scanning speed seems fairly slow, but I suppose this is the price to pay when using the extremely high resolution settings the 8800 is capable of. For less than $200, it's hard to imagine wanting much more.

I bought this scanner to scan 35mm slides, and while I have been pleased with the scanned results, I get quite frustrated during the scanning process because the unit shuts itself off after scanning, so when I get to the part where I should have the option of continuing to scan or to exit, I am forced to exit, save the scans and then turn the unit back on. This slows down the whole process tremendously, primarily because the unit doesn't usually want to turn back on for awhile. Sometimes it takes me 20-30 minutes to get the unit to turn back on. I've got an email into Canon support and hopefully its an easy fix.

I purchased this scanner about 6 months ago. My primary reason for the purchase was to prepare for my parents 50th wedding anniversary in June. Our family had thousands of photos, mostly slides, that had never been organized. All told, I scanned approximately 800 photos, slides and film strips to gather my material for this event.
My sister and I put together a slide show for the event and the photos, even really old ones, looked fantastic. Once you learn the optimal settings, this scanner does an incredible job. I found that most photos required only minimal correction and enhancement in Photoshop Elements after scanning.
I would highly recommend for anyone who wishes to archive precious pictures in various formats.
