I bought this scanner in 2010 and have had very good results with it over the years. It finally stopped responding recently (July 2016). Looking for a newer model to replace it, it appears this is still the latest version.

I was looking for a scanner because I already had a quite good printer and I didn't like the idea to get one of those "all in one' thing. They just didn't fit to my requirements - they're either much more expensive than a simple couple "printer-scanner" or if they're cheap enough they cannot work...

Scanner is good. But user interface of the software is not good. Especially navigating to different folders is very difficult. Only part of the tree structure is visible and every time we need to scroll once we select the different folder.

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...

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.

It is not fast as I believed. The 3200 was as quick however the dpi was lower. Also the glass surface for docs was longer and I was able to use longer (obviously) documents to scan. Why did they have to change a good thing for so-so interface? I would NOT recommend this unit.

Good quality scan; as always from Canon

I had a LIDE first and when it got obsolete due to windows newer ver; I bought the 3200F which was even better; However I recently broke the glass and thought about fixing but since it was old I decided to get a newer one which was on sale; After reading the specs I decided to go for it.

I have 1200 slides to scan for my fathers birthday. I started with an Epson Perfection which did okay but was extremely slow. After 400 slides it gave out. Purchased an HP 3110 at competitor store and spent first 6 hours of ownership on phone with HP in India about extremely serious software issues,...

Quick setup & great results

It took me so long to find the scanner that does what it promises

Hi everyone, I just had a horrible experience with Canon I thought I'd share with you, hopefully preventing anybody else there to have the same experience. Last week I bought a Canon scanner CanoScan 5600F online via Officeworks.

Noisy; horrible support

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.

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.
