Canon LiDE 25 & LiDE 70
My old HP scanner finally quit all the way. So I went to Newegg, and I found two really inexpensive scanners: Canon LiDE 25 is for $44.77, Canon LiDE 70 is for $89.88. I will not be scanning any photographs, since I have a digital camera. Yet every once in a while I scan a document. These Canon scanners seem to have good reviews. Yet I am wondering, why are they so inexpensive? What do I lose? Thank you. Talal Itani |

Canon LiDE 25 & LiDE 70
Standalone scanners have come down in price because so many folks have
switched to All in One printers. Personally I prefer the standalones and have had no problems with my LiDE80. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "Talal Itani" wrote in message news:CKMWh.5823$Fs6.1211@trnddc03...

Talal Itani The only problem with LiDE's is that by nature they have very limited depth of field, and are pretty much useless for scanning anything other than flat paper. If you want to scan jewelry or other small 3d objects, get another type of scanner. |

If you want to scan jewelry or other small 3d objects, get another type of scanner. I will only scan black and white text documents. Even with that I am worried, $44.77 is an amazing price for a scanner. By the way, can jewelry be scanned with a scanner? |

Just look at jewelry on Ebay. A lot of the jewelry is from a scanner. Some are from a digital camera. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- |

But, what about rings, bracelets, can they also be scanned with a flatbed? |

But, what about rings, bracelets, can they also be scanned with a flatbed? Yes, them too. A CCD sensor had a fair amount of Depth of Field, and focuses up to about an inch of so from the top of the Platen. How far the focus extends is specific to the scanner. My Canon Canoscan 8400F goes to about 1/2 inch above the platen. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- |
