It's Windows 7 compatible!
on September 7, 2012
Posted by: larrym3711
from Austin, TX
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!

REPLACEMENT SCANNER
on August 30, 2012
Posted by: PASAPPER
from Warminster, PA.
Scanner purchased to replace an exvellent, working LiDE 30 scanner that was not compatable with a software upgrade. This is an excellent scanner but there was no good reason that my LiDE scanner should not work with an upgrade to my operating system.
Pros: Compact Design, durable, Fast Connectivity, High resolution, High-speed scanning, easy to use
Cons: control software confusing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can't beat it fir the price.

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

Bulb out after a month
on July 9, 2012
Posted by: Matt
This scanner was great while it was working. Problem is it doesn't work anymore. I had it for about a month, used it very rarely, and now the bulb is burnt out. The scanner basically sits in one spot on my desk so not sure why this would happen - it's not from being jarred or anything. I saw someone else had the same issue so I assume they just have poor quality bulbs in them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Broke after 20 scans
on June 9, 2012
Posted by: INeedToScan
The bulb in the scanner would work on an off. Now after about 20 scans the bulb never lights up. How can this thing be broken after barley being used.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Correcting Misinformation
on March 25, 2012

Just to state that As a mac user, you can definitely take this scanner out the box, plug it in to USB only (huge plus, powered by the usb) and scan to iPhoto, Aperture, or anywhere you wish. Image Capture is the built in software that allows this. Run software update, as Apple provides the drivers instead of you having to go find them on the Canon website (where they are also available.)
Pros: it just works, small!, usb powered, quick compared to my old scanner!, you can stand it up sideways, so it stays out the way, i now have two scanners, the other is a fujitsu scansnap 1500m, its an auto doc feed absolute heaven
Cons: pretty good machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

LIDEs just keep getting better
on March 23, 2012

from Washington state
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 was extrermely pleased with this purchase. It has helped tremendously with document filing. Wished I would have purchased this sooner. Functions very user friendly, light weight but still durable and adequate speed.
Pros: Easy Setup, excellent quality, user friendly functionality
Cons: little noisy but tolerable
I would recommend this to a friend!
