The Canon Scan 5600F replaced my 5 year old Mustek scanner. In between are worlds apart! As a normal office scanners 5600F is almost too good, but he leads this work, of course, to the full satisfaction of. His true values he shows for me in the long overdue and repeatedly shifted out digitizing my old photos and slides simply follow the scan bed with pictures - even with different formats - beflastern, press the button and the 5600F detects and displays each photo separately. You should now store the results only when you have all photo sets scanned. If caching is obtained otherwise double results. You have to know or to try, because the manual is rather poor and needs to be picked out on the screen. Tips mostly missing. Especially with old photos, a post is essential. The built-in editing software is extremely easy to use and shows excellent results. Another Highlite is the scanning of negative film strips! The filmstrip is simply inserted into the supplied strip holder, the insert away in the scanner lid and after a button has its positive photos on the PC. The same goes for scanning slides. The Cradle takes 4 mounted slides - even those with Glasrahmung - on. The scanning and saving process is here significantly more time-consuming, ie the digitization of 4 Dias takes my pretty fast PC for about 3 minutes. The image quality is not quite as brilliant as paper photos but all satisfactorily and with the subsequent image processing to bring even from age-old Dias still surprisingly much out.
