Review Summary

Reader Score: 7.68 (out of 10)

Most flatbed scanners that offer slide and film scanning do so as a convenience feature, not for serious scanning. The Canon CanoScan 8400F is the exception, and comes at a surprisingly low price ($149.99 direct). Its scans rival more expensive, dedicated film and slide scanners, with a rating of very good. It earns a very good rating for photos too, and the flatbed design and bundled software let you use the 8400F for both OCR and scanning documents to PDF format.
