Canon Canoscan 8800F scanner - good quality scans at a
fair price

Canon's
Canoscan 8800F is a traditional flatbed scanner, as opposed to the
combined printer-scanners that are more popular nowadays. It can
also be used to scan negatives and slides. Up to 12 negatives in
two strips are held in the guide, and unlike with a standalone film
scanner, the supplied software automatically detects the frames
and scans them as separate images.
The software is quite user-friendly, and can be used through your
normal paint program as well as the supplied programs. The package
includes a copy of the latest Adobe Photoshop Elements (for both
Mac and PC), which complements the scanner well.
