Canon CanoScan CS8800F Flatbed Scanner Review

I bought the Canon 8800f scanner for use at work. We chose this model based on the price and our familiarity with the Canon line of scanners after our previous Canon scanner became uncompatible with our new operating system around its sixth year in use. I have been using this one for about eight months and have had consistently excellent experiences. I tend to use the scanner with Adobe Acrobat rather than the proprietary software that comes with it, but in the few times I have tried it it has seemed pretty intuitive and works just fine. There are also a series of buttons on the top of the scanner that allow you to copy, scan photos or film, or create a file for emailing with just one click.

Perhaps the most important feature of this scanner is its ability to scan film negatives. This is why we chose this model. While I have not personally used it for this purpose, I have heard positive stories from my coworkers.

On a final note, the scanner, while larger than many on the market now, appears very sturdy.
