    You can still get this scanner new at eBay or at some camera places. I got it solely because I wanted a film scanner, but could not afford a real one. Flatbed scanners are considered inferior for such things. Well, if this scanner is making inferior scans of negatives or slides, I cant tell! I think they are wonderful. It even has the FARE system, which is usually found on more expensive models. The software bundle has loads of photo software, as well as an OCR program. I have used the OCR program once...there were too many words it couldnt read...and I could have typed up the article faster than proofreading the mistakes.But I have not read up on everything yet, mainly because there is no printed manual, only a Quick Start Guide. But at least the QSG tells you more than most. Its still confusing at times, though. Even things Ive done before can be confusing to repeat. Its just not the easiest software on the face of the Earth.But as I said, it scans negatives and slides beautifully, as well as photos. It does far better with photos than my HP All-In-One. It should, however, since it is a photo/film scanner.And its a nice priced one at that!

    I bought this scanner because of the Canon name. My last scanner was a Canon, as is my printer. Both have performed flawlessly. I chose this particular model because of the USB interface so I could use it with both my Mac and my Hewlett Packard IBM Clone, and because it has an attachment to scan negatives. As a basic scanner, its great. Good color. Good sharpness. Though, its a somewhat larger than you might expect based on the pictures. But dont be misteken -- this is not a professional film scanner. Its an OK mid-range consumer product. Colors tend to be off slightly when scanning negatives using the dust and scratch mode. Also, the dust and scratch mode is not available in resolutions over 600 dpi. I get the sense that otherwise, this is a powerful piece of hardware. The problem is that the software for it is horrible. The Mac and Windows versions are identical, and neither is really up to the task at hand. They are poorly laid out with no clear-cut way to perform simple tasks. If youre scanning into something like Photoshop, it can control the scanner through the TWAIN driver. But if you just want to make a quickie black-and-white scan of a piece paper to fax to someone, its too much of a hassle. Again, hardware quality is great. But the software leaves a lot to be desired.

    I Promise a brief review. +1 SCANS 35mm slides 2 at a time +1 scans 35mm negatives 3 at a time +1 makes seperate files of each item on the glass automatically +1 super fast photo scanner -1 takes about 2 minutes to scan a single slide at 300dpi Overall the price and picture quality beat the time it takes to scan a slide (which is why i bought it). I had a pacific image prime film that was awful (ok if you are a yambag) and returned it. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS ITEM

    I was able to set up the scanner with no difficulty on my 2.4GHz/512MB P4 system. It took about 20 minutes I guess to install the software and plug in the scanner. I have used the scanner primarily for photos. The multi-scan mode is GREAT. I have scanned 4 pictures at a time and they are put into 4 separate files. Thats a huge time saver, and it works EVERY time for me despite what the editorial review said. I would never buy a scanner without multi-scan mode. The quality is good too. I settled on 600 dpi as the optimal resolution setting (good detail scanned within a reasonable amount of time without files that are too large). I tried scanning negatives once. It worked well, and the quality was better than scanning photos. My only complaint was that switching the scanner back and forth between regular mode and film mode is a little flimsy. Im afraid that sliding the white shield too many times would wear it out. It slides on a groove made of poster board type material. But I dont plan to scan many negatives. I also scanned a magazine page and that worked great. This scanner is a great choice for a multi-purpose scanner at a reasonable price.

    I purchased the scanner with a bit of apprehension, due to the price, and the disparity with other scanners. It seemed a wee bit costly -- not overly so, just a bit. Knowing that Canon is a good company, and knowing that poor scanners truly a horrible experience, I bit the bullet and bought it. The software, combined with the scanner, are superb. I highly recommend this product.

    Hello, I purchased this for christmas 2003. Right out of the box I had the same problem as wshiii from Philadelphia, PA The glass was dirty on both sides and all the images (no matter what the resolution) had white spots all over them. I will call canon tonight to see what they can do. If they cannot fix it, I will look elsewhere for a replacement

Boasting sharp 2,400 x 4,800 dpi resolution, rich 48-bit color, and a fast USB 2.0 interface, the Canon CanoScan 5000F makes an ideal general-purpose scanner. Plus, it sets up quickly, includes a generous software bundle, and has a built-in 35mm film adapter that scans three negative frames or two mounted slides at a time.

Installation of the scanner was fast and flawless. To set up the CanoScan 5000F, we followed the Quick Start Guide to load drivers and optional software, to unlock the scanner, and to connect the power and USB cables. Next we placed a document on the glass, pressed the copy button, and retrieved a copy from our printer. The entire process, from opening the box to holding a finished result, took only about 10 minutes. (To save time, we did not install all the optional software.)

We scanned a variety of documents and photos using default settings. Results appeared sharp and clear (and fast too, thanks to full USB 2.0 support). Colors were bright, and skin tones were natural, with only modest speckling that was easily removed in software.

Only one test was disappointing. Multi-scan mode lets you scan several photos at once into separate files. Unfortunately, the ScanGear CS driver had difficulty consistently recognizing individual pictures, often combining two small photos into one big one, even when they were well-separated on the glass. We saw improved results as we reduced the number of photos from four to three and still more improvement from three to two.

The CD-ROM contains the ScanGear CS and WIA drivers, CanoScan Toolbox, ArcSoft PhotoStudio and PhotoBase, ScanSoft OmniPage SE, NewSoft PageManager and BizCard (trial), Adobe Acrobat Reader (and support for scanning directly into PDF files), and various software user"s guides. Given these ample titles plus sturdy construction, easy setup, and Canon"s generous InstantExchange warranty, the 5000F makes an excellent value for the serious home user. --Mike Brown
