Canon CanoScan 8800F

1. PCMag.com

PCMag.com's veteran reviewer M. David Stone has a broad frame of reference, giving his evaluation of the Canon CanoScan 8800F added authority. He finds the 8800F an excellent all-around printer, but its slightly disappointing film scanning keeps him from naming it an Editors' Choice. Stone finds that the Epson Perfection V500 is a better choice for that task, though the 8800F beats the V500 at photo scanning.

Dave Stevenson walks readers through the experience of using the CanoScan 8800F scanner. Scans are called good rather than great, and a few small issues are found. But Stevenson adds that the scanner's "tremendous flexibility makes it superb value for money."

3. Computer Active

British magazine Computeractive reviews scanners every few months, although not all models are available in the U.S. Anthony Dhanendran takes a look at the Canon CanoScan 8800F, which he gives five stars out of five and a Buy It recommendation. Software and scan quality are cited as pros, while the model's bulk and speed are cons. He says it's "one of the best ways we've yet found to scan negatives and slides."
