Just select what you want to do with your original: scan, copy, create email attachments or PDFs; and the entire process is automated. The Auto Scan Mode detects your type of original, then scans and saves it with the optimal settings. Your results will be outstanding, with color dpi resolution up to 4800 x 4800, and you can also create fabulous 19200 x 19200 software-enhanced interpolated scans. Plus, a letter-sized color scan takes only about 14 seconds. The Advanced Z-Lid lets you produce clear, complete scans of thick originals such as notebooks. And to reduce "cable clutter," one simple cable provides power and a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection. Color Scanning Mode - 48-bit internal / 48 or 24-bit external - Grayscale 16-bit input / 8-bit external Compatibility - Windows Vista, Windows XP, 2000 and Mac OS X v.10.3.9 - 10.5.x4 Dimensions - Width 9.9 x Depth 14.4 x Height 1.6 Weight - 3.6 pounds

Summary: Works great with Vista!
Comment: I just recieved my scanner and I was scanning/croping and saving pictures 15 minutes after taking it out of the box. It's so easy, with one click you are done. I put 6 photos on the glass and it cropped and saved all of them in the destination folder. The scans look great from photos from the late 40's,early 50's.

Summary: Does not work with Vista on Dell Latitude E6400
Comment: This scanner looked promising. Nice footprint, easy user interface. Despite stating it is totally compatible with Vista however, it would not work at all with my new Dell Latitude E6400. After 4 hours on the telephone with both Canon and Dell, their technicians also concluded that it just would not work.
This was an incredibly frustrating experience, although Canon's technical support was pretty thorough.

Summary: Good consumer scanner, don't expect too much
Comment: For the price, it's nice. Good scans, flexible software, runs on usb power so no extra power cord needed, and small compact size.
However, it's slow, and software is good for single scans, but not good for scanning something like a brochure.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Scanner is great
Comment: I bought this scanner to use on the road to scan pictures and genealogy files. It's very easy to use and has much better resolution than the stick scanners and is powered via the computer.

Summary: Nice little scanner with some limitations
Comment: My Epson Perfection 4490 was the best scanner I ever owned--for the first year. At two years it has become dysfunctional. Back when it worked it did great transparencies, but it was a feature I rarely used.
So I was willing to get the little CanoScan LiDE 200. I'm tempted to give it three stars, but I'll go with the premise that the compactness comes at a price.
The Canon installed easily enough in Windows XP. On my desktop computer it runs pretty quickly. The software has some inconveniences relative to the Epson (when the Epson worked). The Canon can zoom in better for cropping on previews. I could not find a 4800 dpi setting, although I can set it to 1200 dpi and magnify. For scanning documents and prints this much resolution is rarely needed. Scans look sharp at 600 dpi, but a bit soft at 1200.
The illumination and detectors that make it compact and make it possible to be powered by the USB cord are different from the models that have their own power cord. The source material has to be right against the glass to scan sharply. If there is a gap it will be out of focus. Scanning from my laptop (done mainly for experimental purpose) is very slow.
The Canon scans upside down, compared to other scanners I have used. It seems strange at first, but it makes sense. It allows you to align the top of the document to the edge that is closest to you.
In the advanced driver mode, for making black and white scans it is possible to adjust the sensitivity. The Epson could do that too. Some HP's that I owned before the Epson couldn't.
For now the LiDE 200 does what I want well enough with a little bit less clutter than some bulkier scanners. The bulkier scanners do have more capability.
Edit: New laptop experiment
When I first tried the CanoScan 200 with my laptop, I plugged it into my Kensington 4 port hub. That performance was very sluggish.
For my new experiment I unplugged the hub and attached the CanoScan's USB cable directly to a laptop port. Performance was greatly improved, comparible to the desktop.
On my desktop computer I have an abundance of USB ports (I have a PCI card full of them installed), so I have not experimented with a USB hub and the desktop. My laptop experiments were done with the laptop powered by its AC adapter.
