I switched from an HP scanner with Transparency Unit on the Canon CanoScan 5600F and am thrilled about the quality of the scan's. At such brilliant colors and bright Diascan's the old scanner has come not reach far. The software is easy to use and lets even the sophisticated arranger little to be desired. The previews can be in front of the scan set and adjust and can then be read via mouse click. The time for a single slide varies depending on the resolution from several seconds to several minutes. Taking the waiting period into account, the scan's are also thinned perfect. The quality of the prints has convinced me and I have after many unsuccessful attempts with other products, finally made it to scan my many Dia's. The price is also reasonable and considering what such a small pocket scanner costs, so the Canon is in any case, the price and quality better choice.
