Pros & Cons
Pros
The new scanner operates very well and scans quickly with excellent ptcture quality. They provide higher quality scans than multi-function printer-scanners. The canon software is far superior to the competition, in my opinion, and it scans quietly.
This is a great little scanner, and i highly recommend it. Canon is one of the last players in this market and their range of scanners has declined from half a dozen 10 years ago to basically just this one. A great purchase.
Package labeling is very clear and instructive, including directing the user to unlock the switch on the bottom which must be unfastened. It works on my mac laptop-no problem at all. Was plug and play.
Cons
Even with a sharp object could not fix it. This hardware is garbage. The user interface is very poor - clumsy to use, badly designed.

But for the price it did the job for me for simple office work
But then i realized it was 600 and that you cant scan books and nonfed sheets and it was limited to 600 dpi
Shipping
This item arrived in good condition and fast
Setup was very quick and easy with the included cd
Packaging/appearance
I then clicked on the image capture icon and when the app opened it had already recognized the name of my scanner in its lefthand panel
Competitiveness
I downloaded the canon software and it works with both this software and also with vuescan
If youre scanning a printed photo 4800 dpi wont really make it better
