Canon – CanoScan D1250 U2F Review
Using the USB 2.0 interface, the CanoScan D1250 U2F processes a full page exceptionally quickly. More importantly, however, the quality of the scan is very good, even at these high speeds. Canon seems to have managed to achieve what many of the others have failed to do, combining high speed with good image quality.
48-bit color depth is used to over-sample the image during the scanning process, reducing it to 24-bit for use with the supplied software suite that includes Arcsoft Photobase, Scansoft OmniPage Pro, Canon Photorecord for printing photos and Adobe Photoshop Elements for image editing.
There are short-cut buttons on the scanner for ’scan’, ‘copy’ and ‘e-mail’, plus one for ‘photo’. This latter is designed to be used when scanning photographs, which can be done in a ’several at once’ mode, with the scanner automatically identifying and cropping the individual images.
Although priced higher than the rest of the scanners reviewed here, the Canon undoubtedly offers exceptional image scanning quality and is fast too. If you don’t need the slide/negative scanning feature, you can buy a similar model for less money.
