Canon CanoScan N670U Flatbed Scanner

Product Description

The CanoScan N670U scanner is a truly remarkable addition to your home or workplace. Its intelligent, state-of-the-art features save you time, and the unbelievable price can save you money. Its sleek styling looks great on any desktop. And the results you'll achieve are simply spectacular. At just over one inch high, the N670U scanner is one of the smallest flatbed scanners in the world. It's also one of the easiest to set up and use. Connect with just a single USB cable to any compatible Mac or PC - no power cord or bulky transformers are necessary. Then scan, copy or e-mail your images in just one step using the three convenient external buttons. You can even burn complete photos onto CDs with ease. So it's easier than ever to take advantage of this scanner's full capabilities: remarkable 48-bit and 600 x 1200 dpi resolution that gives you over 281-trillion possible colors for richer, more robust scans. The accompanying stand allows you to stand up the N670U scanner to make room on your desk, and still use it to scan at anytime. Canon's advanced Z-Lid Expansion Top will forever change the way you scan bulky items, such as books and magazines. Other scanner covers lift only at an angle and become uneven and awkward when scanning anything that isn't completely flat. The N670U scanner cover includes a special expansion hinge that lifts vertically and lays flat to create the space needed for bulky items, and to help ensure clear scans.

Amazon.com Product Description

With a slim design and a single cord for both power and data, the Canon CanoScan N670U adds minimal mess to your desk while offering a number of instantly accessible scanning options. The USB connection and plug-and-play installation will have you up and running in no time, while the one-touch buttons allow you to e-mail, print, and copy images without referring to a user's manual.

The unique Z-lid design expands the scan area to accommodate bulky originals, such as magazines and textbooks, but the total depth of the scanner is a mere 1.4 inches. The maximum scan size is 8.5 x 11.7 inches. Images are enriched by the 48-bit color depth, while monochrome documents receive excellent clarity and legibility via 16-bit grayscale. With a maximum resolution of 600 x 1,200 dpi, your scans will display crisp detail and process at a speed ideally suited to the serious hobbyist.

The N670U is compatible with Windows 98, 2000, ME, and XP, as well as Macintosh 8.6 or higher. Included in the box is a software bundle that allows users to edit and process their images with ease. Canon provides a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

5 out of 5 stars My CanoScan has longevity.......2007-05-12

I've had my 670U since 2001, and it's given me great service. It takes up very little space(still slimmer than many contemporary scanners), still gives great imaging for a 6 year old scanner, and, with a recent driver update, WINDOWS VISTA COMPATIBLE! This must be the best $[...] or so I spent for a computer peripheral.

4 out of 5 stars Very good basic scanner, but scanning results are variable.......2007-04-30

Pro: extremely lightweight - I've carried it on multiple occasions to the Library of Congress to use in research projects there (yes, they allow researchers to use scanners - and digicams too!), low price (I bought mine for $40), easy to use, Canon's specially designed cover that allows you to scan books and other such material much more easily than many other brands, sturdy and durable (I forget how many thousands of pages I've scanned over the last three years or so, but it's still going strong!)

Con: The results of scanning can occasionally be variable, especially if you're using an older OS like Windows 98 (the version of Canon's scanner software for Win98 requires you to calibrate the scanner periodically in order to keep the quality of the scans up). If you're not careful to set things up properly, you can get blurry or crooked scans. To be honest, though, that's a risk I'd say you'd run with just about every scanner. The glass/platen is recessed into the body of the scanner, which some others have complained makes it difficult to impossible to scan oversized items. In point of fact, I don't find this to be a problem, as long as the item in question is smaller than the total scanning field; you can maneuver the original image so as to fit within the scanning area. Also, the WinXP software doesn't seem to be as customizable as the Win98 software.

These are relatively minor shortcomings, though, especially when stacked up against the multiplicity of good things about this scanner. On balance, I really, really like this scanner and, together with the excellent PIXMA 1500 printer I've had since '05, I currently have a very high opinion of Canon PC peripherals. I'm actually even considering buying a second one so that I don't have to remove the current one from my desktop system next time I go to the Library of Congress. :)

5 out of 5 stars Greatest bling for the buck.......2003-12-31

Pros: Very small size. Can store vertically with the stand included. Z-lid for bulky scans. Easy to use.

Cons: When looking at the scan on the computer screen sometimes they look horrible, but when printed they look great!! This is the Canon software that is included, not the scanner.

You can't get any better for this price. I wanted an entry level scanner to scan CD covers. This was a perfect choice. I even forgot I have it sometimes because I store is vertically against my monitor so it takes up hardly any space. I love this scanner and it hasn't given me any trouble at all. I love the metallic grey/blue color too!!

5 out of 5 stars Great Scanner.......2003-05-08

I've been using this for about 2 years and it's excellent. I use it to scan photos and documents (you can scan a document and edit it on your computer with the bundled software). The quality of scans are superb. You can scan a small picture at high resolution and this scanner will give you a big, clear one. Although I don't use it so much now that I have a digital camera, I'm not selling mine for now cos it's great and it just might come in handy sometimes. Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Good stuff cheap.......2003-03-27

This is a fine little scanner for light duty. Doesn't take up a lot of space, and doesn't need a separate power cord. That's a huge plus. I take a star off for the installation and driver software. The Japanese manufacturers, try as they might, just can't seem to perfect the software fit and finish. The prompts are sometimes confusing, and the interface does comply with Windows standards. The icons are weird. Why not just use standard menus???

        7 months after purchase the unit displays innacurate outside temp. Needs to be reset constantly. Has new batteries. Says its 51 degrees outside. Actual is 17 degrees. Dont buy it.

        1 out of 5 stars Oregon Scientific.......2007-10-10

        One phone didnt work out of the box. The other phone doesnt work very well. The company oregon scientific no longer sells or makes these phones? There is no need to ask why......

        The phone looks nice but that is about it!

        2 out of 5 stars not favorable.......2007-06-11

        The phone had a static that made it unusable. Also the clock in the dark was unable to read. When the snooze depressed the light came on as a back ground light and made the time unable to read.
        The unit was returned for these reasons.

        1 out of 5 stars Stopped working.......2007-05-13

        Very hard to program , I bought it in Dec. it is May and the phone will not work at all . Buttons had seemed sticky . Hard to push . base has correct time date and weather seems right on but phone itself will not register . Tried their website but no phones listed . Their projection light clocks are wonderful I have 2 but stay away from this phone .

        1 out of 5 stars HAlf-worked for a week and then fizzled out.......2007-02-27

        My unit has never worked as a phone and only worked intermittantly as a weather station. It only ever received a signal from the outside monitor for about a week, then nada!

        A complete waste of money - buy something else
