Four external buttons make it easy for you to scan, copy, e-mail or file. For example: place your photo or film, press the external scan button - and the 8000F scanner takes over from there. The entire process is automated for true one-touch convenience. The 8000F scanner can handle your choice of photos or 35mm negatives. The Canon exclusive FARE (Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement) technology is designed to automatically and precisely remove much of the dust and scratches that may appear on your original slides or negatives - so final scans of dusty and/or scratched film can look better than the original.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good all purpose scanner, December 3, 2002

By	"chiut7" (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews

I've bought this scanner to scan both reflective media and films. Paper scans are amazingly clear, 35mm film scan is acceptable for a flat bed, but still not close to that from a HP s20. FARE takes out a lot of detail, but help a lot with the dust. Using it at the low setting work best for me. The scanner will scan medium format film properly. All you have to do is make a card board frame for it. One big problem I have with it is it won't create more than 6 thumbnails for batch scanning at 2400 dpi. Considering how the marketing dept stress the capability of batch scanning 12 frames , I'm disappointed in this. I'm contacting Canon to see if I'm doing something wrong and their support has been slow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality and Ease of Use, April 27, 2003

By	G. A. Spence (Fadden, ACT Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having chosen the Canoscan 8000F and the Epson 2400 as my short list, I finally selected the Canon. Why? In the shop (Australia) both machines were on display - the Epson seemed very flimsy compared to the Canon - the lid of the Epson came away in my hand!

I have a flat-screen iMac. I downloaded the latest Scangear CS for Mac OSX, and Canoscan Toolbox from the Canon website - these being more recent than the August 2002 disk. I had Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 already installed. Then I plugged in the Canon and everything worked perfectly straight away.

The machine has very impressive resolution and functionality and works seamlessly with Photoshop Elements 2. (Note that the instructions say that the only native OSX software that will work with Scangear CS is Adobe Photoshop - not true any more - Photoshop Elements 2 works perfectly!

A great product all round.

2.0 out of 5 stars unhappy user, June 4, 2004

By A Customer

I bought this scanner 2 days ago in Phoenix and returned it today. Software takes almost 20 min. to install, is very confusing to use ( compared to a Visioneer 7300 which I have) there is no power switch meaning that the scanner is always on. But the warm up time is long and the scan is slooow and noisy. Cost was $199.
