Designed for advanced and demanding scanning tasks for photos and film, the Canon CanoScan 5600F uses a Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) to produce color optical scans with resolutions up to 4,800 x 9,600 dpi and 48-bit color depth.
Seven easy buttons automate the scanning process, making it simple to scan, copy and create e-mails and multi-page PDFs with nothing more than a push of a button—the scanner and your computer do the rest. To save time, you can batch-scan up to six 35mm frames or four 35mm slides. Holders are included as well to prevent crooked scans or damage to your slides or negatives.
The 5600F connects to your Windows or Mac PC via Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Software includes Setup Software and User's Guide CD-ROM, MP Navigator EX,Solution Menu and ArcSoft PhotoStudio.
Pros: Very quiet, worked right out of the box with Vista 64, scans are crisp and clear, good software, has a power switch.
Cons: Non so far.
Other Thoughts: I replaced a $600+ 8 year old Hp scanner with this and am very happy. I swapped the supplied USB cable with a longer Belkin and it worked perfectly. No such luck with the HP. I downloaded the drivers and software, did not use the CD. It does need about a 10 second warm up period. The software seems to work very well, especially when working with older faded photos. All the buttons work as they should. Scans are crisp and clear. It is quite a bit faster than the HP. Hp will not support their scanner under Vista irregardless of the fact that there are quite a few of these expensive scanners still in use. That is a sorry customer service decision. Bye bye HP and hello Canon.

Great Scanner

Pros: I had a 9 year old Umax scanner and after getting this one I can't believe how fast this scans. I have had no problems with installing drivers and no dust under the glass. The scans are so clear. Like the fact it has a on/off switch, my old scanner didn't and I had to manually shut off the light.
Cons: none so far.
Other Thoughts: Now it's been 9 years since my first scanner and I'm sure they have improved since then but compared to my old scanner (which I thought had good scans also) this scanner scans are crisp and clear. You can also adjust the sharpness, brightness, etc. I wasn't sure about getting this one because I usually read reviews on products before buying, but the model before this was already over a year old and basically the same scanner so I took a chance and I'm very pleased.

Cons: The resolution in the specs (optical) is not available when put to use. I feel as if I had been decieved! This thing only goes up to 1200 dpi! This is garbage! I got this to replace an HP that DID do about 4800 dpi! You can' even trust specs anymore!
Other Thoughts: This was my first Cannon product after my HP died - just because. The quality of the HP is what I would have expected it to be given the specs. This Cannon's quality is no where near as good as a standard scanner. I am not sure why this thing scans at poor quality?
On the HP, I could scan from a magazine, DVD cover or anything and it would look BETTER than the product being scanned! On this one, it does not even look as good! I actually bought this a month or so ago, but just opened it the other day. I did this because I assumed that it would do what it is supposed to do. I cannot deal with this brand again for scanners.

Excellent for Negatives

Pros: This scanner is amazing!!! I bought this scanner for the sole purpose of scanning my Color and B&W negatives, and I'm really glad I bought it. The scanned pictures come out sharp and crisp, and are also rich in color. I've been scanning the negatives at 1200dpi and they come out amazing! I've tried using 2400dpi but it comes out somewhat grainy, depending on the film I used at the time.
Cons: Scanning actual photos only let me use a maximum of 600dpi, which I found odd. I don't care for scanning actual photos though, my main purpose for this scanner was to scan my negatives and slides. Scanning 1 negative at 1200dpi takes roughly about 2.5 minutes, so if you want something fast with the same quality, go spend more money. but then again I really don't care about the speed, I'm just happy it scans nicely.
Other Thoughts: I haven not yet tried scanning slides, but I imagine the output will be just as amazing as the negatives I have scanned. The software is very simple and easy to use, and the scans you get from this scanner are great for the price. I am very happy with this scanner! I originally was using an Epson scanner which did not scan my negatives properly, so I decided to chance it with canon based off of the good reviews, and I've loved it ever since I hooked it up. If you need a scanner for negative scanning, this is your scanner.
