The time was a pleasant surprise. I unpacked the scanner and connect only the USB cable to my laptop. Already popped on a menu and I could start. No driver installation, no seeking for an outlet and no other clutter. The scanner I'm just out of the drawer as needed and 10 seconds later it is ready for use. Just great in a crowded desk anyway. Meanwhile, I have next to my correspondence and a lot of my old photos scanned. The quality is absolutely convincing and color scanning it is faster than our major copier / scanner in the office. Speaking of office: There the scanner caused due to its easy handling, its speed and its appearance is also a sensation. So who is looking for a handy, portable and easy to use scanner is right with the Canon P150.
