Canon CanoScan 8800F Flatbed Scanner
- No Longer Available
The Canon CanoScan 8800F Flatbed Scanner utilizes high-luminance white LED lamps so it is ready to scan immediately, with no warm-up time needed. And of course it delivers spectacular results, with color resolution of 4800 x 9600 dpi, and built-in FARE Level 3 retouching technology helps correct for dust and scratches on your originals, revives faded images and even brightens faces and reduces graininess. Seven easy buttons automate the scanning process, so it's simple to scan copy and create e-mails and multi-page PDFs. Furthermore, to save time, you can batch-scan up to 12 negative frames or 4 slides, either 35mm or medium format. The unit comes with the productive and easy to use picture editing program Adobe Elements v 5.0 (v 4.0 for Mac).

I looked long and hard at the few flatbed scanners on the market and narrowed it down to the Epson Perfection V700 and this Canoscan 8800F. I think I was a minute away from buying the Epson V700 until I used it. It works great and the results were quite beautiful, but honestly in scanning negs, prints and slides in numerous configurations, I could see NO differences between the scans of the Canonscan 8800F. I scanned many images up to 4800dpi and the colors and depth looked so much alike it was impossible to tell which scanner created it. The blacks were black and the definition as sharp as any flatbed scanner I have ever seen or used. I put a friend's Canoscan 8800F through its paces (as I did with the Epson V700) and it was a pleasure to use. If I were reviewing the V700 here, I would not give it 5-stars for other reasons, and compared to the Caonoscan 8800F it just was not as nice a piece of gear to operate. The Canon is significantly cheaper, does a phenomenal job in scanning, and its considerably faster in my opinion. It was a no-brainer.

I scan books for a living & had been using old old HP scanners from the mid 1990's. Which were worn out.
So, on the advice of an antiquarian in Sweden, I got the Plustek, but after a day packed it up & sent it back. Plustek makes machines expressly for copying books, but the software so badly cripples it as to make it useless. Plus, it is only good for B&W. Color scans are hopelessly muddy.
So, having thought about it, I went for the Canon. Canon's been in business 3/4ths of a century, they make all manner of imaging devices, starting with cameras, as well as printers & scanners & lots more. Canon's a bootstrap kind of company. They invent all their own stuff, they do things the hard way, they tend to overbuild. Sometimes the results are quirky, sometimes they're guilty of pandering to the public, but, in the main, they can be relied upon to do a fabulous job. There's good reasons why they're one of the top companies in this field.
And initially I was impressed with the Canon 8800F. It's well-designed, beautifully engineered, nicely thought-out. I am confident it will handle slides extremely well.
But so far as a replacement for the HP's, it's only marginally better than the Plustek. Canon, like Plustek, like all the third party scanner software that I could find, hasn't got a clue how to write basic scanner software. I've got this wonderful machine that simply won't work for what I want.
The Canon will do PDFs, it will do OCR (though the bundled ScanSoft OCR software is not that hot), it will do slides & chromes, 35mm & 120/6x6. And that's it. If that's what you want, then I'm in agreement with all the other reviewers. This is a fabulous machine.
But if you're looking for a scanner, if you scan - I dunno - THINGS at various sizes & various magnifications for various purposes, then you need real software for your machine & the only software I am aware of is the old HP stuff, which only works with the old HP machines, which, to my surprise, are highly prized by guys who do the kind of scanning that I do. There's an outfit in Los Angeles that repairs the things. I'm going to pack up my machines & get them fixed & then go on as before. (The very last thing I did was download the current HP scanner software: No better than the Canon. So no point in swapping the Canon for a new HP.)
The Canon I will reserve for chromes. I've got a few thousand, from a career 30 years ago as a photographer. I'm not interested in digitizing them, but I do need good material for covers for the books I print. My HP's don't have the transparency adapters, I've been stuck for cover materials. So I plan to use the nice new Canon once or twice a month.

Comments about Canon CanoScan 8800F Flatbed Scanner:
I bought the Canon CanoScan 8800F as a replacement for my trusty old HP scanner that served well for many years. I bought the Canon scanner because of its high ratings in many reviews and hoped it would live up to those ratings. IT DOES! Even though I have used it only a short period of time, I have tested every function. It's great! Fast warm up, logical process, broad functionality. By using the master menu instead of the machine buttons, I can make extremely sharp copies of documents (set on B&W). The slide copier works great, too. If this machine holds up as well as it has started, it will be a very wise investment.

Comments about Canon CanoScan 8800F Flatbed Scanner:
I bought this product mainly for making photos from old film and definitely made a great choice! The colors are outstanding, even better than I had hoped. I only wish it did 110 film but it doesn't supposed too. [...]I will definitely buy from them again, probably a 110 film scanner!

Comments about Canon CanoScan 8800F Flatbed Scanner:
Have / had an HP scanner that would do negatives & Slides.. worked but was very interactive, having to scan several times and then zoom in ect...
The CanoScan knows how many negatives you loaded and the sharp image is great! Just talked to a person that does professional photos for a company and he only had good things to say too.
I wish I could load more that two strips and a faster scan. About 60 sec per neg.

Comments about Canon CanoScan 8800F Flatbed Scanner:
Spent years seeking out a great slide scanning alternative to the Coolscan and pro level scanners. This one is great for archiving family pictures and producing near-pro level scans for a flatbed machine.
Software Interface is somewhat awkward on a Mac, but it works once you play around with it.

Comments about Canon CanoScan 8800F Flatbed Scanner:
I am using this scanner to archive family and travel photographs. It scans quickly and the quality of the scans is excellent. I haven't tried scanning negatives yet. So far, none of the buttons on the scanner do anything either, besides the on and off switch. I don't know if this is because I'm using a Mac instead of a Windows based system.
There seems to be no independent application other than Image Capture with which to activate the scanner- the one shortcoming I can find so far.
