Roland Olayvar: This is a solid product for the price. At 300DPI, it scans fairly efficiently and the quality is acceptable for archiving. At 600DPI, the machine operates at a reasonable speed as well; however, at 800DPI or 1200DPI the scan is painstakingly slow, taking minutes for even a polaroid size scan.

It works, it's sleek, and it's light. Easily portable as it only requires power from the USB port. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to just scan documents, photographs, or small art projects.

Does not scan negative films.

Anuradha: I am not paid or anything. I bought this product in a moment of desperately needing official docs scanned and in less than an hour i got setup from scratch and got the whole job done so nicely. Scan Quality is AMAZING. I loved the ease of use. I used a Win 10 system . I am very grateful to their team . Thank you for this product!!

Nagrarok: Es un buen escaner de entrada si lo que buscas es digitalizar trabajos de arte, hay que buscarle un poco para poder escanear a la maxima resolucion que marca el escaner pero la mayoria nunca necesitara esos niveles de dpi, de ahi en fuera me hubiera gustado que escaneara a mayor profundida de color

Jeannie: I needed a flatbed type portable scanner I could use with my laptop when away from home. This one seems to meet that need for me (I haven't traveled with it yet).

Since I use Linux Mint, the Canon software wouldn't work (shame on you, Canon, for not making Linux compatible drivers!), so I can't comment on how well the scanner works with Canon's software. I already use Hamrick's VueScan software on my other two scanners, a Canon 9000F flatbed scanner, and a Fujitsu ix500 duplexing, ADF scanner (both of which are NOT what I would consider portable!) and it works well with this scanner once I updated it. I haven't tried to use any of the scanners buttons since Vuescan easily and conveniently does it all from within the software.

When I first tried to use the scanner with Vuescan, I went nuts trying to get the software settings to work the way I needed. It then dawned on me that I hadn't updated VueScan in quite a while since "nothing was broke so don't fix it." After I updated Vuescan (although the .deb version would probably work, the tarball—.tgz—version, when extracted, had a simple to use installer that automagically updated the current...

Fergie: Canon CanoScan LiDe 400 Slim Scanner, sold by Canon.

After almost 20 years of reliable performance, my trusty Microtek SlimScan C6 flatbed finally bit the dust. I seriously considered buying another C6 (new old stock) because it was so reliable, easy to use, and full of features. BUT, the C6 probably won't interface well with newer versions of Windows (i.e., anything later than XP), so I decided to look for something newer.

For $ 90, the LiDe 400 seemed to fit both my budget and needs. Here's the PROs and CONs I have found:

PROs:

1. Really inexpensive
2. Pretty simple to install on any Windows computer with Win 7 or higher.
3. Does a really decent job of scanning documents and photographs (see below).

CONs:

1. Doesn't come with a manual (hardcopy or on the CD), and there doesn't seem to be a way to download a whole manual from the Canon LiDe Website (it's a pain in the ass to have to find the information you are looking for, piece by piece, on the Website... a downloaded complete manual would be so much easier).

2. The cable from the scanner to computer is relatively short (a little less than 5 feet)....
