Two Sleek New Canon Scanners Prove That Good Things Come in Small Packages
Filed under category: Peripherals
Looking to archive old family snapshots? Or maybe just keep better track of their household bills and documents? Canon has just released two new scanners to help you out, the Canon CanoScan LiDE 25 and CanoScan LiDE 60 Color Image Scanners. Both new scanners from Canon offer improved performance and ease-of-use in sleek, stylish designs, all at entry-level price points.
The new, streamlined CanoScan LiDE 25 Color Image Scanner is only 1.3" high, and uses one simple cable to provide both power and a USB connection, reducing the number of wires around your desk. Three easy-to-use buttons on the scanner automate common scanning tasks such as copying, scanning or e-mailing of images or documents. The LiDE 25 scanner also comes with Quality Automatic Retouching and Enhancement (QARE Level 3) technology, which reduces much of the dust and scratches from older originals.
The CanoScan LiDE 60 Color Image Scanner is a one-stop scanning machine, and probably a better fit for the professional user. It, too, uses just one USB 2.0 Hi-Speed cable for both USB connectivity and power. It also enables lightning fast image transfers from scanner to computer with maximum scanning speeds and previews of scans on the LiDE 60 scanner clocking in at approximately nine seconds, depending upon operating system speed. The LiDE 60 scanner is able to produce a maximum 1200 x 2400 color dpi resolution. For the money, not a bad deal, whichever model you choose.
