 great quality scanner! March 17, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've been using this scanner for about a month now and have no problems so far. The scan quality is great, its very quiet and fast, and the editing program it comes with is easy to use, although I usually scan directly into photoshop. The negative scanner sometimes makes the image look a bit grainy, while the print scanner is perfectly clear, but despite that very minor flaw I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a recommendation.

This scanner is fantastic. I just got it as an early birthday present from my wondeful wife and parents and it's been a spectacular gift - as another reviewer has noted, "far exceeding my expectations."
I had planned on getting this scanner initially, but ended up getting an HP G4050 because it could scan 4x5 negatives (this one does not). I regretted the G4050 decision as soon as I tried it out: because it does NOT truly work with Windows Vista (the 8800F does). I took the G4050 back the day after I got it and immediatly ordered the 8800F.
As so many people have noted, the software and interface for this scanner is amazingly easy to use and very intuitive. You can choose between "simple" and more advanced modes of scanning which makes it all a snap. The scanner is also very fast: previews of images only take a few seconds and the actual scans are quick as well - yet the quality remains beautiful.
The scanner comes with 3 CD-Roms. One contains the scanner software, and then there's two CD-Roms with Photoshop Elements: one for Vista and one for Mac OS - that alone is a roughly $80 dollar value (what I paid for my copy of Elements). Also included are the power cords (of course) the USB cable, and holders for 35mm, Slides, and Medium Format film.
Although Canon doesn't advertise that the 8800F can be set to scan black and white negatives, it does have setting to do so: and I must say that the scans of my black and white negatives look suprisingly good, all things considered. If you get a professional scanner for b/w negatives you'll have to actually put the negatives in a mineral oil which helps with scratches, etc., but for simple b/w scans that will certainly work well enough for snapshots and memories, the 8800F produces excellent results.
As much as I'm enjoying this scanner, I'm curious about some of the decisions that Canon made with it (hence the 4 star rating instead of the 5). I wish that they would have given this scanner 4x5 capability as well as 35mm and medium format. Not only would being able to do 4x5 be a great feature, but it would allow more than two rows of 35mm negatives and one row of medium format or slides - it'd be nice to be able to scan larger batches.
Overall this is a great scanner and I'd recommend it to anyone...thanks for another great product, Canon!

Works like a charm straight out of the box. This is our 3rd Canon scanner and as long as they keep making quality products we will keep buying Canon.
 Scanner leaves a rainbow artifact on 35mm slide images March 10, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
For the price, I am basically satisfied with the CanoScan 8800F, but...
When scanning 35mm slides, each image has a small rainbow of colors in one corner. If I turn the slide the artifact is in another corner, so it is not on the slide itself. I've tried putting empty slide frames on top of the slide to flatten it without improvement.
In addition, I don't like the software interface, but that may just be me.
Aloha, Pono
