WOW! It's been a long time since I had done from a PC as quickly as accessory. I have owned a previous model CanoScan 8400F and the can say that the new 9000F Mark II this is superior in absolutely every discipline.
Most amazing is how Canon has managed the scanning speed so enormously increase. Not only is there de facto practically no preheating. Device comfortably on the lid and turn on instantly scan. For a 600dpi A4 scan the device does not require 10 seconds. An amazing value and I have since the acquisition thereby caught but significantly more likely to quickly scan something which to me, was with respect to the warm-up on the previous still too time-consuming. In addition to installing the drivers, there is still the Canon Quick Menu application integrates itself as the icon in the system tray icons. In all of the scanner settings can be controlled and additional bells and whistles like a slide show or Canon's cloud service launch "My Image Garden". Unfortunately, there is no bundle of Photoshop Elements or any other scanning software, which would have been desirable for a purchase price of more than 200.
The scan quality is outstanding and can compete with the old drum scanners at eye level. Particularly positive has impressed me to the edge sharpness. I could here observe no sharpness waste, so as to obtain a homogeneous sharpness across the entire image and this which are slightly higher than A4 size even with templates. Photos, documents, slides and negatives: everything I have the scanner previously purposed he bravorös scanned with very good results. My wish Canon would now still a document feeder as an optional accessory, the device would be perfect! The lid buttons are very knowledgeable about the software lets you adopt the rest, so you can not only automatically generate PDFs here, but eg also directly can start its scanning application.
Even when the cover itself, there is progress to report. So this automatically locked at about 45 ° and can be concluded quickly recall. The scan pad in the lid "pressed" now the template planner on the glass surface. The previous model I had to often work here with an artificial paperweights.
Conclusion: Certainly not a device for the casual scanner. But if you want to archive different templates of high quality and this emphasis on a high operating speed will certainly be of the CanoScan 9000F Mark II as excited as I am.
Price / performance is at the scanner for me very well. How long does the transport carriage high speed participates to show over the years yet. I had been here in the last few years two failures and a repair is not provided in the units.
