Canon CanoScan 8800F Color Film/Negative/Photo Scanner (2168B002) Reviews
My wife wanted this product to organize old photos (some dating back to the 1920's) for a family reunion in August 08. She was able to improve the quaility and organize them for all to view. This machine is quite a unit.
WOW, is this thing amazing - the "Fading correction" image correction is beyond words - it makes these terribly faded, yellow pictures look like they were taken recently. Very fast as well. I had to archive a lot of faded family pictures from 30-40 years ago, and I was getting terrible results with my old scanner (streaking, bad colors, etc)., so I bit the bullet on this scanner based on the Amazon recommendations. I just got this today, and I'm simply blown away.
This product delivered as advertised. I use it to scan my 35mm slides. I scanned some slides at 4800 dpi, but couldn't see any difference between it and the 1200 dpi. At 1200 dpi, it takes 30 seconds per slide.
The software that came with the unit works fine for my purposes to rid any dust, scratches, lighten, deal with back light, etc. It is long so it takes a chunk of the desktop so make sure you have the room. It is an ongoing project mainly for the winters and will take a few years. We also use it to scan and e-mail documents for various purposes. I am very happy with the quality of the images and the scan time. I bought this several months ago with the intent of scanning slides that were up to 25 years old.
I scanned some old slides, taken by another photographer, and cleaned them up using Photoshop Elements. I was worried the hues would be off, but no sweat: just routine white-point, black-point tweaks needed. They were as easy to clean as the shots I take with my new Nikon digital SLR. Four stars only because I didn't try Canon's built-in software for editing. Routine copying is fast; construction feels rugged.
