Canon CanoScan 4200F

Color-restore feature revives old photos. Surprisingly good OCR accuracy. Scans directly to PDF format

No ADF. Dust and scratch removal feature doesn't do much. Slide scanning produces minimally usable scan quality

Kinda slow with USB1.0. Kinda noisy too

Is noisy as lamps returns to rest position - startled me the first time I heard it

Fast, high quality output, price

Big footprint, buttons on front annoy me i accidently hit them a few times and it spawned applications, its black which shows finger prints. The #1 thing that annoys me is that it has a poser supply, my old canon scanner did not need one it used the...
