Canon CanoScan Lide 30 Review

by Richard Jantz

- WHAT'S HOT: The CanoScan Lide 30's standout feature is its accurate color reproduction. In our color print and on-screen tests, this scanner earned higher marks than most competing SOHO models for its ability to deliver crisp, well-saturated images with an impressive range of color shades--including accurate skin tones, the bane of many scanners. Its gray-scale photo scans showed ample contrast and brightness, as well as discernible details in both highlight and shadow areas. And the $80 price puts this scanner within reach of lots of users. The Lide 30's super-svelte design makes it an easy fit in small areas. It can be stored and used on its side to economize on desk space, and it doesn't require an electrical outlet since it's powered via a USB connection. Live technical support is available six days a week.

User Reviews for Canon CanoScan LIDE30

Reviewed by: trailsman442000

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Easy set good color.

Weaknesses: A little on the slow side.

Overall Evaluation: This scanner works well has good colour is fairly simple to operate, could use a little more speed however. I just recently purchased this Canon scanner and installed it and I am over-all pleased with it. It takes up little space is in no-way bulky. Over all it will meet my needs as far as scanning documents goes.

Strengths:

Weaknesses: Claims to be USB 2.0, but isn't.

Overall Evaluation: Maybe if I'd read more reviews, I would have discovered this before it were too late. This scanner is peddled by Canon as USB 2.0, but in fact is "USB 2.0 Full Speed", an inferior standard no faster than USB 1.1. If you want real USB 2.0 throughput, you'll need a scanner that is USB 2.0 High Speed. Do I need to say that this is a disgusting con and that you should all send Canon a message and buy from another vendor?
