Convinced by brilliant scans at a low price - even in comparison with the competitors Canon ...

I had the opportunity, the CanoScan LiDE 210 and the Epson Perfection V370 Photo to compare directly.
Since the Canon has already more than 500 reviews, I can save there another and bring here the comparison to.

The Epson has clearly won.

He is much more stable, seems relatively wertig despite the processed plastic and scanned one at that really quiet.
The only drawback: When you turn off a scanning process is often driven - because I use a power strip with a switch: a gift.
The Canon looks shaky - you have to fear that soon the lid breaks out and unfortunately it sounds like a sawmill.

But the most important thing: The scans are the Epson (Details on the resolution is already sufficiently addressed in other reviews) better - even wavy watercolor illustrations he scans crisp and the colors are almost 1: 1 reproduced. Even paper texture and delicate pencil lines he gives no loss again.
The software is - though not particularly well decorated (including?) - But very clear and intuitive and could be installed on Win7 without problems.

All this, the Canon so really do not have - although it features a sleek design ...
