Canon means quality

I purchased this product to replace another Canon scanner that was not compatible with Windows 7. I also wanted/needed one with its own power supply as I connect it to a laptop.
The scans, even on the default settings are true to the originals. I use it to save important documents to pdf files and for saving old photos in digital format. Another great use for this, or any scanner is for enlarging those pesky wallet cards with way too much information on them to be read by a normal person. I can scan my pocket baseball season schedule and print it as a 4x6 photo, and it is easy as pie to read.
I have not tried the negative/slide scanning yet but expect the results to be just as good as I have already experienced.
It is quite a bit larger than my previous scanner, but since it has a dedicated shelf, this is not an issue.
Pros: Fast Connectivity, High resolution, easy to use, seperate power supply
Cons: Large Footprint
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for Slides
on October 26, 2011
Posted by: Dad'sOldSlides
from Milwaukee, WI
Bought this scanner, after reviewing several on-line, to scan a bunch of my Dad's old 35mm slides. It works great for this purpose. I was up and scanning in a matter of minutes. It is a little loud when operating and does take up a fairly large space on the desk, but I see no other negatives. Dad wasn't the best photographer so the photo editing software that comes with it is very handy (anybody with a basic knowledge of PhotoShop should be able to jump in and be adjusting brightness and fixing red eye in no time). I think it is pretty quick too. I'm averaging a little less than a minute per slide (after an hour of use) including editing and saving to a separate file on my computer. Highly recommend this one.
Pros: durable, Fast Connectivity, High resolution, High-speed scanning, easy to use
Cons: Large Footprint

great value

after receiving my 5600 scanner today, I had the software loaded and was scanning within 30 minutes. I love the auto scan feature. there are lots of features, but if you take the time to experiment, you'll find scanning photos is pretty satisfying, and not at all a challenge. this was one of my better purchases for certain.
Pros: the scanner does all the work if you let it
Cons: rather large but not a real issue

My 5600F scanner is producing high quality digital copies of slides and pictures that date from the 1950s and before. The software makes the process very simple and easy to use. This is the perfect device for people who need to save pictures before time destroys them.
Pros: Compact Design, easy to use, High resolution

Finally, No Glitches

After owning another popular brand name flatbed scanner, it's nice to now own one(CanoScan 5600F) that is responsive, quick, and accurate in its operation. Photos and transparencies are beautifully reproduced. Documents are legible and identical to the original.
The scanner accurately differentiates multiple slides and prints and places them in the proper files.
Operates beautifully with Mac OS X.

Excellent scanner.

I was looking for a versatile scanner that scanned documents as well as photos and negatives. The scan time is better than others I have had or tried. The overall quality is above reproach. They say, "you get what you pay for." I say not this scanner. It is worth the price of more expensive scanners I have seen.
Pros: durable, easy to use, Fast Connectivity, High resolution
Cons: unit could be smaller

UPS delivered my 5600F yesterday. After spending an afternoon with this scanner I have been totally impressed. This is the fifth scanner I have owned since 1997. It's easy to use but the bottom line is......the scans of pictures and film are fantastic.
Pros: durable, easy to use, High-speed scanning, Fast Connectivity, High resolution
