I also own the previous model Lide 210, with whom I have had very good experiences. Here are my first impressions of the Lide 220, the 7 Professional 64-bit SP1 runs with me on Windows: 1. Optical 220er differs not much from the 210cc. In size they seem to be the same. Both are very light and very compact, so that even with one hand fast times eg can fetch from the windowsill to scan the scanner. The keys are the same, except for the e-mail button at 210cc, the now "Send" is. Here opens a page after scanning, where you can print it, send an e-mail, among other things, can burn. 2. The scan quality is beyond doubt, therefore, very good indeed. Just like its predecessor. 3. The scanning speed is no different from that of the 210ers. Approximately Takes 10 seconds for example a pdf scan (A4 / 300 dpi). 4. The scanning noise has remained about the same. It is on the one hand to have heard clearly, but just so that it's not so loud and the noise forth acceptable. Who but a long time to scan at a time, for which there may already be a bit annoying. 5. Something I noticed is negative: I like to put on the cover when scanning a book or encyclopedia, to bring the book also really flat on the pad, this did not bother the Lide 210. According to the manual should not put pressure with more than 2 kg. When 220er but you can hear the scanning process from but and an extra buzzing sound during Scannes when placing a book or the (mild) depression of the lid with your hand, even if the pressure is less than 2 kg. That I see as a disadvantage, because in some books simply has to exert a little pressure, so one side can also be well scanned. Here the 220-seems to be more sensitive than the 210cc. 6. The operation is used to simply and basically self-explanatory. So you can, for example, with the PDF button quickly and easily create multi-page PDF documents. 7. If someone has little desktop space, is still a holder attached, so you can place the Canon vertically. 8 Tips for Helping with the Canon Lide 220 are combined on the desktop in an icon that makes unfolded several workspaces in the Quick menu and the main menu quickly visible. When you open the main menu you have very clearly the different tasks in view (such as the Web or the device settings). Clicking one is fast in online manual or in a so-called. Fundamentals Guide. Since so you can quickly look up the fundamentals. The software I find somewhat clearer, tidier and more visually appealing than the 210cc made. 9. The function for online storage integration I have not tested: But you can send over the PC scanned documents to Dropbox, for example, or upload to the online notes service Evernote. 10. That is no power supply needed was already in 210cc the case. With a USB cable to the Canon Lide is both connected and powered. Who eh lying around for many cables in the PC sector, will appreciate that. 11. Conclusion: In terms of scanner has been and remains a top supplier Canon: The Lide 220 which has experienced very little serious changes to its predecessor, but that was not necessary: because its predecessor was a compact, relatively quiet and relatively fast device very good quality scans spawned. Who has the 210er already and can do without the cloud mode eg, of course does not need to upgrade to the 220-. Even though I already really liked the new "smart" Quick Menu and the clear main menu and represent in my opinion a small workload. What I like less: a) The matter of the buzzing sound when you exert some pressure (by hand or with a book). b) In fact, I would wish for the further development of a scanner device that the volume when scanning would be further reduced. The volume is indeed - as already mentioned - certainly still acceptable, but for frequent scanner that must "endure" the noise for several hours, it is not yet optimal. When Canon Lide 220 there is according to my impressions mostly a few enhancements in the field of software (cloud terminal, Quick Menu), while on the hardware than its predecessor Canon Lide 210 little or nothing has changed.
