Canon CanoSCAN 9950F 4800 dpi Color: 48-bit internal/48-bit external USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (cable included); FireWire (Mac only, cable not included) Interface Flatbed Scanner

Designed for the most demanding advanced scanning for photos and film, the Canon CanoScan 9950F is one of the company's top-of-the-line color image scanners. It uses Canon's Hyper Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) sensor, their first 4,800dpi CCD sensor for flatbed scanners. Combined with a dual light system it produces color optical scans with resolutions up to 4,800x9,600dpi and 48-bit color depth. With the included software it can interpolate resolutions up to 19,200dpi. This means you'll be getting the sharpest pictures with the finest of details. Plus, Canon's built-in FARE Level 3 retouching technology helps correct for dust and scratches on your originals, revives faded images, and even brightens faces and reduces graininess.

Four 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. Film adapters let you scan transparencies and negatives, from 35mm up to 4x5-inch formats. You can even batch-scan up to thirty 35mm negative frames or 12 mounted slides.

The 9950F connects to your Windows or Mac system via Hi-Speed USB 2.0. A large software bundle is included with the scanner featuring ScanGear CS (Windows/Mac), CanoScan Toolbox (Windows/Mac), Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 (Windows/Mac), ArcSoft PhotoStudio 2000 (Windows/Mac), ScanSoft OmniPage SE OCR (Windows/Mac), and NewSoft Presto! PageManager (Windows). This is a great scanner for the demanding graphic professional or talented amateur looking for a versatile, reliable and brilliant piece of scanning equipment.
