Review: Very good quality for the price - Amazing bit of kit that gives a very good result. Many options and settings that make this a great purchase for the money. The build is sturdy and professional to feel, and fits in well to an office setup. I have not used the software as this is mainly for windows - I use Linux and this scanner was plug and play with no issues at all.
Review: Great for scanning photos - I bought this exclusively for scanning in old photos and for £65, I am very happy with it. It took me about 2 hours to scan 250 photos. I scanned two at a time at 600 dpi and the quality is fine for me. The software for this scanner will automatically separate and crop the photos, so by scanning two at a time, as long as you leave a gap between them, the scanner will create two separate images on your computer and they will be perfectly cropped and aligned - so you don't need to keep them straight when putting them into the scanner. It takes about 30 seconds for the scanner to scan 2 photos at 600 dpi. Once you play around with it to make sure you know what you're doing and that you're happy with the quality, it doesn't take long to work through the photos and scan them all in. The software (which can be downloaded) is pretty straightforward and easy to use. If you are on macOS, you don't even need any drivers (not sure about Windows but they are all on the Canon website anyway). The only thing I will say is that this scanner has a lock switch on the bottom - I've no idea what this is for (maybe to stop your kids from scanning stuff?) but it is important to put it to the unlocked position or the scanner won't work. And if you unlock it whilst it's already plugged into the computer, you will need to disconnect and reconnect it to the computer (i.e. unplug / plug in the USB cable) after you put the switch to unlock, otherwise your computer might not detect it. This scanner also does not need any power source / plug socket, which is handy. It gets power from your computer (the USB cable is supplied). Overall I am very happy with this scanner - it did exactly what I wanted it to do and it was pretty cheap.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good budget scanner
*by J***S on 26 January 2026*

For a budget scanner, quality is very good. Little noisy on some speeds but nothing obtrusive. Software was fiddly to get set up, but works fine once it's sorted and is user-friendly.
