Mixed Response

This scanner was easy to install (Windows 7, 64-bit). By trial-and-error I found out how to do the things I wanted, The manual and instructions for use were of no help. The scanner is lighter than two used prior to Windows 7, but not faster. I would like it if buying descriptions included more specific information about the ability to copy (using any installed printer) and the programming of the Auto Scan to change any file to a .jpg. These are two functions that I use a lot and was specifically seeking. Happily, I've been able to do both with this model. My chief criticism is of the cluttered and poorly presented manual.
Cons: manual not well presented.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Except for the rather "clunky" repetitive on-line manual, I have no complaints so far. The software is pretty straight-forward and the scans are great. I think the built in OCR is a great feature, as is the direct to e-mail function. I haven't used this unit to it's full extent yet, but if it lasts as long as my last Canon, a 620B, I'll be quite happy with it. I'm running Win 7 and had no trouble with installation.
Pros: Compact Design, Fast Connectivity, High resolution, High-speed scanning, easy to use
Cons: clunky manual
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's Windows 7 compatible!

Received the product OK and installed easily. It worked immediately after the CD was finished (and the system was rebooted). It will default install on drive C. If you want another location, go for the custome installation. Worked as expected just using the Microsoft Scanner Software (Document Imaging)...however, they include a lot of different applications should you want custom scanning. Registration asks for the user O/S but does NOT include Windows 7 in the list. Product is somewhat noisy compared to previous models. Good Function for cost.
Pros: Compact Design, Fast Connectivity, easy to use
Cons: noisy, no mention of win 7
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this scanner, simple and works great. This is the second one we owned, both were cannon's. we couldn't get new drivers for the last one but it never did wear out. I like that there isn't a separate power cord. I use it with my laptop. windows 7.
Pros: Compact Design, durable, Fast Connectivity, High resolution, High-speed scanning, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Happily surprised

The CanoScan LIDE210 is so simple to use that I was sure I was getting it wrong, but happily it worked well even for a beginner.
I used it to scan pictures and word documents and both came out clear and sharp for the reports I needed.
Since then I have used it to add old family pictures to my computer and they come out looking very good.

LIDEs just keep getting better
on March 23, 2012

I have been using Canon's LIDE scanners since @ 1999. Each time I have been very happy with the purchase as this is a very low cost scanner with a very big end product. I do genealogy and am currently digitizing all my documents for use on a tablet. I have just upgraded to a new computer with Windows 7. Then I checked out the Canon LIDE 210 and discovered it had a PDF capability needed for docs to be read on tablets. And it was still at the same price as the first one I bought in 1999. The PDF capability works like a charm. I have always used my Canon LIDEs for both documents and photos. My only problem is that I read where non-windows users have some options, I don't for direct scanning. to a "Cloud" program on a different Canon scanner. Hope to see that capability in a LIDE 210 update in the future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better than expected! Installation was a breeze and operating it was so simple and intuitive. The accompanying editing software was easy to use and effective. Canon has done a fine job with this product. Highly recommended.

Good value

I just bought my 2nd model, this time to replace a Lide 220 that died after 5 months. My first 210 lasted 4 years used in portable and desktop applications. For my needs this is a very good product. I liked the original software much better then the current variety.
Highly recommended.
