I purchased this scanner to be able to scan family photos of various film types (35mm, 6x6 etc). I was encouraged with the fact that Canon discontinued its dedicated film scanner line and offered this model as the replacement. Strengths: The scanner is easy to set up. In a very short time, I was able to start scanning all the photos that I had. The ScanGear CS driver software is adequate, and...
Strengths: High resolution; Dust Removal Setting in Software; Scans up to 5 negative strips at one time; Quiet
Weakness: Scan of negatives coloration effected by how many negatives being scanned at one time
I bought this scanner to replace an old HP professional model. I'm using it to scan photos and 35mm negative strips. The scanner comes bundled with a variety of software. I'm simply using the CanoScan Toolbox to scan. Using that software (and perhaps the others) you can scan multiple photos or negative at one time and it automatically splits the photos into separate files. I've been able to scan...
Strengths: Excellent scan quality, fast scans, variety of film holders, easy to use, and generally well designed.
Weakness: None found so far.
This is my first scanner purchase, and I have been very pleased with it so far. The scans are of amazing quality, and the machine is very easy to use. The primary reason I bought this was so I could scan old pictures for a family tree. With the right color management settings, and using unsharp mask, old and faded pictures and negatives scan with great clarity and color. If you are in the market...
Strengths: The COPY, SCAN, PDF, and E-MAIL buttons are conveniently located on the front of the machine, will scan 35mm slides and film strips
Weakness: The ON/OFF button is inconveniently placed on the underside of the above buttons, the machine does not automatically turn off
The CanoScan 9950F Flatbed Scanner produces very accurate scans of word documents, pictures and graphics. It is a great all purpose scanner. The color quality of the scans is very good. The CanoScan 9950F comes with plenty of software to handle all of your needs. It has single buttons for Copy, Scan, PDF and E-mail. I found the on/off button, although located on the front of the machine, not to...
The CanoScan 9950F offers high optical resolutions, improved scan quality, and more intuitive software controls.

Canon has yet to disappoint!
Strengths: Excellent transparancy scanning, reflective very good, dust elimination very good, scratch/tear repair average, quiet operation, on/off button.
Weakness: Outdated 3rd party software, Firewire not for Windows?
I originally wanted to purchase the Epson Perfection 4990 but a good percentage of online retailers were out of stock. I needed something soon as I rely heavily on a scanner for most of my work. Decided to go with the Canon and I wasn't disappointed! I have a Canon printer, digital cameras and now this scanner and I think it is a great product for my needs. 3rd party software sucks, but scanning...
