BEST job, little scanner!
on April 21, 2014
Posted by: The best there is
from IN
I had no idea I would use this scanner so much nor did I realize how nice it is to scan directly into a PDF no more GIF or JPEG - scanning of documents.. This scanner is light, easy to plug in and out if you don't want to keep it around it is light weight, VERY efficient and SUPER easy to use as easy as "push this button that says PDF" or "scan and email" no worries.. need to print from scan? Go ahead push "print" and it will send the scan to your printer... need I say more? Go ahead spend on the best investment out there.. I had another one I gave away to a friend, that's how much I love this scanner... I bought this one and had it for over 3 years!
Pros: Compact Design, durable, Fast Connectivity, High resolution, High-speed scanning, easy to use, smart design
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great scanner, lousy software
on October 3, 2013
Posted by: Tom
Horrible software packages. Finding the right way through complicated, over-sophisticated menus to find a simple way to scan a document and save it is a big hassle.
After reinstalling my PC I thought it would be a shortcut to download the software, but I still had to download, try, delete a couple of packages.
Why does it have to be so time consuming to get going with this scanner??? I don't want any of the sophisticated geek features, I just want to scan a document and save it as a jpeg - simple and easy!!!

Ideal for Travelers
on April 19, 2013
Posted by: Tomah Cheesehead

As a snowbird traveling in an RV, I bought this LiDE 210 scanner because it is light, compact, and USB powered (no power brick}. The excellent quality of scans surprised me. I use it for scanning documents, photos, and checks for electronic bank deposits. Altho the GUI interface appears clunky to a Mac OS X user, it gets the job done - that is the only "con" I have noticed.
Pros: Compact Design, High resolution, easy to use
Cons: clunky software
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not for advanced users
on February 25, 2014
Posted by: Tom
Pros - Easy to use for average users. Single cord - no need for a power cord or power supply brick. This is a major plus if you're traveling with this scanner, or occasionally need to place it in the middle of a large table to scan large items.
Neutral - Not any faster than the 12+ year-old scanner it was replacing.
Cons - The simplified driver software is too simple - you have to go through multiple screens to find the settings you want, and even then, there isn't much control over the settings. (what if I need to disable auto-color balance?) Overall, this makes it slower and harder for me to use.
Recommendation: Best for normal users, not for advanced users.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

The software update is terrible

from Louisville KY
Updating the software is impossible. I've installed and uninstalled several times to no avail. Can only scan thru my Apple device and not with the Canon Software. Will never buy Canon again.
