Canon CanoScan LiDE 60 Color Image Scanner Reviews
Customer Rating:
Summary: works well with mac software called Image Capture
Comment: Used for scanning photos and sketches with Mac OS 10.4 and Mac Image Capture software. Entirely adequate.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Awesome scanner - Must have!!
Comment: I've had this scanner for over a year now and loves it!!! The scanned documents are cleared and the scanner is just so easy to use! I use it to scan all my important documents into PDF files, old photos, etc. Unfortunately, I broke the glass on the scanner when I took it on travel with me (my fault) and bought a CanoScan LiDE 70, which I thought was an upgrade. Boy do I miss my CanoScan LiDE 60, which is so much easier and clearer than the Lide 70.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Better, but still a pain.
Comment: This is my 3rd Canon scanner. The unit is nicely made, very slim and lite. Physically much better than previous Canon scanners. However, the Canoscan software is only marginally better. It took a while for me to get it installed correctly, actually two tries.

Summary: Great document/receipt scanner for Windows and Linux
Comment: I've used the Canon CanoScan LiDE 60 under Microsoft Windows Vista and Ubuntu GNU/Linux 6.10, and it works great in both. I purchased this product for scanning documents and receipts, and it does its job very well.
With Windows Vista, you need to download the drivers from Canon's website (they're not included with Vista). The drivers are very minimal, lightweight, and easy to use; in about 5 minutes I was scanning documents straight into Adobe Acrobat.
The LiDE has to be one of the easiest hardware installs I've ever done in Linux. I plugged the scanner in, and started xsane. It detected my scanner and I was scanning immediately--that's it, no having to install or configure anything!
I've a few complaints:
* Noisy: the motor that draws the scanning head makes a very high pitched screech when moving. When I first received the device I thought I'd be able to use it in a library--not happening unless the library is deserted.
* Adequate color reproduction/photo scanning: The color reproduction on my Epson 2450 is leaps and bounds better. The LiDE however is easily 1.5-2x faster, a fraction of the price when comparing MSRP, and has much nicer drivers.
* Too lightweight to scan books easily: The scanner being featherweight is a good thing, except if you have to scan books or anything bound/stapled of more than a couple pages. Stuff shifts easily if you do not hold the scanner and book while scanning.
Customer Rating:
Summary: GREAT PRODUCT
Comment: This is a really great scanner. I had some trouble loading it in my computer but a call to customer help fixed it quickly. It does great color image and e-mail. I have a home office and use it alot.

Editorial Review for Canon CanoScan LiDE 60 Color Image Scanner:
A perfect scanner for the creatively inclined, the LiDE 60 is so slender it can even be used while standing on its edge. Exquisite styling is matched with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and scan-to-PDF functionality.Unclutter your desk with the impossibly thin LiDE 60. Drawing all its power from the USB port, it lets you say goodbye to electrical cables and transformers. Slender and light, it can be operated on its side and packs plenty of muscle when it comes to quality scans. 1200 x 2400dpi resolution and 48 bit color depth combine to reproduce fine detail and subtle shade.The LiDE 60 can scan documents directly into PDF (Portable Document Format) files negating the need for specialized conversion software. Text is automatically embedded in PDF files at time of scanning, for editing and searching. Scan to PDF creates a floating palette of pages that can be arranged at will.With an innovative Z-Lid, thick documents, books or small packages can now be scanned as easily as if they were a single A4 sheet. By keeping even pressure on whatever rests on the glass, the lid ensures the best possible results regardless of the size and shape of your object.Traditional methods of color matching are complicated and time-consuming, but with Easy Color Matching Print, Canon's scanner to printer combination produces stunning, realistic colors, quickly and easily. This ensures more faithful reproduction and brilliant output.Canon's QARE Level 3 is your on-board photo print correction system. Dust and scratches are automatically detected and corrected, saving hours of manual retouching. Faded color, excessive graininess and poor exposure can also be corrected.With a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface, the super fast LiDE 60 saves time with every job. Multi-Photo Mode creates individual files from a single scan pass of up to 10 separate images - all cropped and de-skewed automatically.
