Summary: Difficult
Review: After 4 hours of agony, I still can't get a decent scan.

Dark, undersized scans seem to be the norm. With a myriad of options, I don't seem to be able to get satisfactory results.

Initially, I was offered a miasma of alternative applications and options.

Once you've gotten through this, you're hit with other options. I'm now plagued with "general protection faults", etc.

My system has worked flawlessly in the past, with the installation of numerous software and hardware applications. I don't have time to spend hours on the phone with miscellaneous tech support people.

I have owned, operated and up-graded my computers computers for 10 years now. I don't need trouble. Do you?

Summary: Great scanner despite a few problems!
Review: All in all, I'm happy with how this scanner works. Unfortunately, the set up in Windows 98 was not as easy as I expected. My first scan came out with an extremely red tint. I called Canon about this problem and the first person I spoke with barely stayed on the phone for two minutes and his solution did not work, forcing me to call again. The second person suggested calling the software manufacturer (Adobe), which I did to no avail, they wouldn't help unless I paid $2 per minute. So, I called Canon again and spoke with someone who knew what they were talking about, and the problem was solved in about five minutes. So, if you purchase this product don't be surprised if it takes more time than you anticipated. It still is a good price and worth a little aggravation. The scans come out great, and I find the scanning takes relatively little time. Highly recommended.

Summary: Why Adobe photo deluxe?
Review: CANON CAN USE BETTER SOFTWARE LIKE COREL... HAPPY WITH IT'S COMPACT SIZE AND PERFORMANCE.

Summary: I have a FB620P and it was a good unit...but wait.
Review: Do not even think of buying this scanner if you are running XP or Win2k. It will not work on either operating system. There are no drivers available from Canon to upgrade from Win98 to 2K or XP.
I wont buy another Canon product because of this.

Summary: CanoScan Remarks
Review: Found it easy to set up, does a great job of scanning. BUT, I find it very slow in high resolution scanning of anything in color. It is also a little noisy when it scans. I love the small size and plan to keep it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Scanner
Review: I bought this scanner after Visioneer scanners wouldn't work with my current laptop. The Canon was a snap to hookup and work with both for color and for text. The size is wonderful - like 1/3 the space of other scanners.

I did some work with a beat up picture (the Adobe software included is great, it'seasier than Photoshop with most of the features). The scanned photo on printed on glossy paper is BETTER than the original.

The scan software could be more like the Visioneer software providing a one touch source to fax multiple pages. The scanner scans somewhat slowly, but this is misleading - many Mustek and Visioneer scanners I've worked with take a long time to 'warm up'. The Canon gets right to work and takes about the same overall time.

Summary: Space saver, but the scans are terrible!
Review: I liked the Canon 620P for the nice sleek, slim size. Installing the software was a breeze, no problems expect a registry problem which I corrected because Canoscan CD didn't detect a PDF program on my thinkpad.

The scans for color photo was pink and blurry, newspaper article was unreadable, and combination of photo with text is pink, blurry, and unreadable.

Overall rating: Strong Downgrade

Summary: Good Hardware, Lousy Software
Review: I purchased this scanner for its small size and its reportedly acceptable scan quality. After installation, I could not scan into the included Adobe PhotoDeluxe 2.0 on my Windows 98 system, although I could scan into other applications and import the photo into PD2 if necessary. I later installed PD3.0, with disastrous results--scans into all of my image editing programs are now grossly discolored. Now entering round 2 of time consuming, annoying communications with Canon tech support. If you do not have many hours to spend on such nonsense, I do NOT recommend this scanner.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great scanner, despite what others say!
Review: I was a little scared to buy this scanner because there were a couple bad reviews. But the instalation was extremely fast and the scanner is so easy to use. The pictures are clear and I don't have ANY problems with it at all. I recommend this scanner... its very easy to use!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great scanner for the right price!
Review: I've been looking for a scanner that would fit my small work space. This scanner is sleek and has awesome scanning capabilities. You can scan up 1200dpi. Very easy to configure and setup. The only negative is it scans very slow for higher dpi scans. Highly recommended!
