I was looking for a flatbed scanner, the fairly detailed and color unadulterated scans my documents up to A4 size in a short time. On "bells and whistles" such as transparency unit to scan slides or negatives I could do without, as I make this work with special equipment. In short: The Canon Lide 110 does not require a separate power supply (advantage), require little space on the desktop (advantage), can be the PC Setup (advantage) and delivers quickly clean and superb color scans, often printed as originals quickly being held. Who "only" a flatbed scanner requires, may waive other "gimmicks" and for relatively little money is looking for a reliable and high-quality equipment, should purchase the Canon Lite 110. I have already given away two more copies and the users are like me very satisfied.
