However many models offer sophisticated operations which I don’t need so figured that the LiDE 400 was worth a punt since it’s priced so favourably. Wanted to digitise years worth of magazines I have been hoarding so looked at some robust scanners which might withstand a heavy workload. Haven't scanned documents yet, but no doubt they'd be similarly easy / good quality. Haven't even looked to see how the resolution could be increased (in which case, the time taken would naturally increase).įor the £70 I paid, really excellent value. I took 600 dpi resolution jpegs and each one to ok about 10 sec. It was VERY easy to set up and is light and easy to use. The scanner has produced very good quality editable jpegs of decent (but not great) quality photos. The photos had been taken with 33mm compact zoom film cameras c.2000 - 2002 so I was not expecting perfection. There is a much fuller manual available online.įrom taking it out of the box, to first photo scanned took no more than 25 mins, if that.
The instruction manual is minimalist, to say the least, but I could follow it easily for basic set-up. I used my MacBook Air and downloaded the Mac iOS software from the Canon website. I used it to digitise about 120 photographs (not negatives - it won't do negatives) taken 18-20 years ago of our 2nd home during renovation / redecoration etc.
