Great at first but no longetivity
I purchased my canon 8400 3 years ago. At first I loved it. I enjoyed its speed and quality of copies. In the last few months, there has been a drastic drop in speed. It takes 3-5 times longer to scan a page. I wish I had only paid for the device. I paid about 0 at the time. I guess it's worth because you'll need to buy a new one in about 3 years.

CaonScan 8400F crappy
A recently bought CanoScan 8400F. When scanning in any of the color modes a yellow stripe develops along the right side of the scan. Re-installing the drivers does not work. Canon says repair. The repair costs more than the actual price of the unit, therefore avoid Canon scanners as the PLAGUE

Avoid this scanner
It stopped working after 15 months of fairly light use (of course the warranty is only 1 year.) It did a decent job while it was working, but apparently it is not well made.

Don't buy a Canon Scanner
I have had this scanner for 1.5 years (warranty is one year). I did not use it much at all, maybe a hundred scans, but likely less. It spent most of it's time in the off position, turning it on only when needed. Today it died on the first of 6 scans. This is my second Canon scanner that died not long after warranty expired. I will not allow a third opportunity. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes.

I have an old Hewlett Packard 4C scanner that I paid 00 for 13 years ago. It is built like a tank and it still works like a champ except that HP never provided Windows XP drivers for it. We live in such a disposable world now.

Broke after 13 months
Worked wonderfully for 13 months. I was pleased with all the functions and software, especially the OCR.

Since I don't like buying a scanner every year I won't buy Canon again.
