Slender, functional and surprisingly affordable, the 1200dpi CanoScan LiDE 25 complements any creative environment. It draws all the power it needs from its USB connection, no power adaptor required!

Summary
Howdy. I received this scanner as a gift for Christmas, 2005. It was on my Amazon wish list. I did a fair amount of research before deciding on this scanner, but I was negligent with regard to one simple fact: apparently some hardware makers are...
Strength
the hardware is of good quality. produces high-quality images.
Weakness
transfers over USB 1.1! absolutely absurd for 2006.
Bottom Line
Stay away from this model and find something modern with USB 2.0. Scanning is basic stuff, folks. Why Canon screwed this up, I don't know.

My Epinions Philosophy When I make a purchase, epinions is one of my most valuable resources for non-biased experiences and information. When I come here to research a product I read all of the reviews and the product specifications and details...

Scanner software, speed, size, weight, no power supply.

Weakness
l thought about any cons and l honestly could not think of any.
I got this thing and none of the drivers work with XP Pro., even though the box specifically says that it is compatible with XP Pro. Nothing I did changed the fact, and the on-line support conveniently skirts the whole driver problem by telling you to...
Strength
N/A
Weakness
This product is flawed and the drivers do not work.
I purchased the LiDE 25 after reading excellent reports on other sites and in Computer Mags. I use Windows XP Pro and the scanner installed without a hitch and works perfectly. An excellent scanner for the first-time buyer as it is so simple to use...
Strength
Easy to learn-as-you-go. Inexpensive
Weakness
Operates at USB 1 speed - even so, it is not a slow scanner anyway.
