I received the Canon CanoScan 5600F scanner as a gift for mother's day.

Good Quality; Quiet; Easy to Set Up; Easy to Use

Size; Unitasker

Expected more of the software, but still a big fan.

Very practical; only USB

The software is so crap.

High scan quality and fast operation. Only drawback is that the set up for front buttons may require reading through manual. Not a quick easy set up.

The CanoScan 5600F is far easier to use than my old scanner and actually does scan slides and negs as well as the usual. Thus far, neg scans have been noticeably poorer in quality than the, very good, slide scans - could be the film or the storage, too early to say.

Shortcut buttons for pdf functions lead to screens with confusing results. You're better off going through the program button on the dock.

Easy To Set Up; Good Resolution

Poor Software

Looking over my shoulder recently, I was surprised at how much I have come to depend on a scanner. Early on, I had a love/hate relationship with desktop scanners, mainly because of their early and fiddly operating software. And don't bring up the topic of dedicated film scanners!

I purchased this mainly to scan 35mm negatives. My negatives are badly curled and don't want to fit into the supplied holder. I positioned a strip of negatives under the holder and held them in place while removing the holder. I put two strips of masking tape to mark the position of the negatives.

canon canoscan 5600F scanner is considerable you can say its image quality is good as cannon is famous for its image quality so its good, and its scanning speed is also good as it doesn't take so much time, its colour accuracy is fine and decent means you dont have to face problems like the colour...

Bought this scanner to replace an old, old one. I was amazed at how fast it scans documents and photos. Really like the negative scan ability. Overall a good value and I would recommend for a home/home office.
