  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Powered thru USB port, portable & slim design, good scan speed

  Weaknesses: Mediocre scan quality

  Overall Evaluation: For anyone that is looking for a relatively portable scanner look no further than the Canon LiDE 50. It's extremely compact and doesn't require a AC adapter like most scanners in the market...it uses power directly from the USB port on your computer. The scan speed is very acceptable for basic scanning needs.I find the scan quality to be somewhat below average for scanners nowadays. I just hope Canon improves upon this in their upcoming models.Overall I do consider this unit a very good buy for the fact that it is portable and it doesn't require an AC adapter which means you can use this virtually anywhere.

  Strengths: slim design, no power adapter needed, comes with Photoshop Elements 2.0

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall Evaluation: I've used this scanner to scan about 100 old pictures. A nice feature this scanner does is that you can set up to 3 pics (depending on the size), scan them at one time and the Canon software will recognize that they are 3 different pictures and it will crop each image and save each picture to their own file with just one scan. The scanner meets my needs which are: getting good scans at a good price.
