Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon CanoScan LiDE 25 Color Image Scanner (0307B001)
Customer Review: Works great!
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a basic scanner for the sole purpose of making copies. I have a printer that does a fine job so I really did not want to replace it with an all-in-one kind of product. This scanner is exactly what I wanted. I use it once or twice a month and it works fine. The price is great! Customer Review: Value, functionality, no bells & whistles.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great scanner in terms of image quality, cost, and size/portability. The best part, though, is ease of use. It will do anything I need it to do, and nothing else, and it does it intuitively, easily, and efficiently. There must be better scanners out there, with more awesome features, but, frankly, I'd rather have a scanner with all the features I want and NOTHING ELSE to clutter up the interface. For scanning text documents & home photos, this unit can't be beat.
Oh, yeah, and *perfectly* Mac-compatible.
Customer Review: really noisy
Summary: 4 Stars
This thing makes a loud grinding noise while running that is unsettling. It makes me wonder how long it's going to last. But on the plus side it's very light weight, about the size of a large pad of paper, so you don't really need to devote a shelf or desktop space for it, you could even carry it somewhere if you wanted (except for the noise). I like it so far.Customer Review: Superb Item!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm in my 80's, not at all mechancally or electronically inclined, and had put off buying a scanner because I was afraid it would be too complicated. Once my grandson had connected this scanner to my computer, I was able to use it with the greatest of ease. Not only that, but it makes the clearest, most perfect copies imaginable! I'm absolutely thrilled with the LiDE 25.Customer Review: alignment's weird
Summary: 4 Stars
My only problem with this scanner is the alignment. I had to make a copy of my dog's vaccination form, and the scanner made a copy that I swear is even better than the original. However, it also cut off the top 1/2 inch of the form where the address of the vet was. SO I had to fiddle with it a bit, and finally figured out to sacrifice the bottom portion of the form (fine print anyway, but could be a problem later on) to get the pertinent info to come out.
The sound from the scanner was nothing compared to the noise that came from my OLD scanner. It weights next to nothing (again, a change from my old one) and I have no trouble pulling it in and out of where I keep it (limited space for peripherals) to use it.
I have a little issue with the cover-lid-thingy, but I just don't like that it's not super smooth. Normal people would not be bothered by the way the door-thing opens. I don't like the way it hinges in.
I love love love the copy feature (minus the alignment issue), and I love the PDF feature. One press easy use features work perfectly for me.
Overall, I love my scanner.
