Product description
From the Manufacturer
The powerful CanoScan 9950F color image scanner delivers the ultimate in scanning performance and quality. It handles a wide range of originals, from photos and documents to transparencies and negatives, up to large-format 4-by-5-inch film. You'll simply be amazed at the quality of your scans. The 9950F scanner achieves a spectacular 4,800 x 9,600 color dpi resolution (maximum), which is the highest in its class, and 48-bit color depth for over 281 trillion possible colors.
A USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection ensures the highest possible transfer rates, which is especially important on large files, and previews are available in about 3.6 seconds. An additional FireWire interface can connect to your Mac (the FireWire interface is not compatible with Windows; cable not included). For added convenience, four easy buttons--Scan, Copy, E-Mail, and PDF--automate the scanning process, so your projects can go much faster. Just position your original, select the use for the image, and in seconds it's ready to go.
The Hyper CCD IV is Canon's first 4,800 dpi CCD sensor for flatbed scanners. In combination with a Super Toric (ST) Lens and the scanner's dual light system, the Hyper CCD IV is able to produce visibly clearer results with finer details. The ST lens also has a large aperture to pick up more light than conventional lenses, a factor which leads to faster and brighter scans.
Features:
- Maximum 4,800 x 9,600 dpi resolution
- Batch scan 30 35mm negative frames
- FARE (Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement) Level 3 technology
- Supports professional films up to 4 by 5 inches for both transparencies and negatives
- 48-bit for over 281 trillion possible colors

The first scanner I received had a spec stuck to the back of the glass that appeared in all of my scans. Canon indicated that the unit needed to be serviced and they'd be happy to send me a refurbished one - no way. I returned it to Amazon and just received another, which has 2 specs, although in less conspicuous places. However after about a dozen scans I noticed more dust specs on the underside of the glass and the scan head has a lot of dust on it. It's a challenge enough keeping the dust off of the TOP of the glass, impossible to deal with the bottom. Maybe as the scanner has expanded production, manufacturing facility quality has degraded. So I'll be returning this one as well.
The scanner does an excellent job scanning negatives, though it takes about 10 minutes for each 35mm frame at the highest resolution. If you do not plan to scan negatives and slides then consider other flatbed scanners that can scan photos just as well for less money.
I have some gripes with the software ("FARE")- the image processing settings (ie backlight correction) are applied to all images being scanned vs. individual frames so the processing often ends up worsening the image characteristics - that's quite a flaw - hopefully it'll rectified by a future software update. I found it better to simply turn off all image processing when scanning multiple negatives and instead use Photoshop Elements or similar software on each - something you'll need to do anyway if you want to restore old images.
The 1200 dpi scans took about 1 1/2 minutes on my computer and the 2400 dpi scans took slightly under 4 minutes/ slide. A few tips for good results: 1) always calibrate the scanner between each set of slides (the template holds 12 slides).
2) For slides with normal lighting I set the backlight correction to medium. For light slides I set this correction to low or off, For dark slides I set it to high. Since only one set of scan data are allowed for all of the slides in the template it is a good idea to group light slides together and dark slides together.
3) I used the dust/ scratch correction on medium and it did a good job. 4) Pull the slides tight against the bottom of the template slots. There is a little play here and if you don't do this your slides can get tipped at a small angle from the horizontal.
The Canon scanning software failed me a few times when I did a large number of scans without reinitializing. When this happened, I usually lost at least one-half of the scans. To guard against this, I made it standard practice to load the software fresh for each scan. It takes almost no time to do this and it can save you some headaches.
I found the Canon software a little clumsy to use, but managed to make it do what I wanted. For the money you can't beat this scanner for 35 mm slides. Considering that commercial places charge around 50 cents / slide to do this for you, I easily paid for the scanner 2 1/2 times. What a deal!
