Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon CanoScan 8800F Color Film/Negative/Photo Scanner (2168B002)
Customer Review: Blurry and disappointed - has Canon lost its touch?
Summary: 1 Stars
At this point, I am quite disappointed with Canon CanoScan film scanners.
First, I was sent a replacement 8800F scanner for my malfunctioning one by Canon. The replacement arrived unfit for use, with the scanner mechanism unlocked.
Then a second replacement was sent. I just completed running some test scans. Comparing the scan quality of the 8800F recently received with scans of the same colour positive films made only days before on my CanoScan 8400F before it malfunctioned, it is plainly evident that the CanoScan 8800F scans are inferior, especially in resolution. Blurry results were produced on the CanoScan 8800F even with the unsharp mask correction turned on. This is contrary to what one might expect from a product update.
Please see the slide discussion for sample scans.
The one star was for the speed of the scanner - it is fast. But at the end of the day, isn't quality what we really want?
I will be happy to go with another manufacturer.
