Scanner great but problems exist in 120 scans
I have used this with my Mac G5 desktop and Photoshop for many scans of negatives and positives. Because I had problems scanning 120 black and white with the 120 holder (it would only preview two at a time instead of six) I was on the phone to Canon for an hour or so. I thought we had it fixed, but it went back to the old habits. Finally, I found that there is a little button at the top left of the scanning screen that you click and I was able to turn off the template and scan whatever was in the 120 holder, cropping the negatives with the drawing tool or drawing around them with that tool so that the software would recognize the negatives that it did not see. To deselect, you click on the negative and hit the delete button. After that, I was able to scan some 400 BW negatives of 120 size without problems. In my estimation, the manual can be improved and the software needs to be rewritten to help the user. Quality of scans was excellent.

Very disappointing for film scans
First of all, let me say that I've been using dedicated film scanners for 12+ years, mostly using a Minolta 35mm scanner. I bought this Canon scanner because (a) I need to scan medium format negatives and transparencies, (b) Canon discontinued their dedicated film scanners because they claim this unit gives at least comparable results and (c) dedicated medium format film scanners are very expensive. With my old Minolta scanner, scans were so sharp you could actually see the film grain. With this, nothing was sharp. I spent several hours with Canon support trying to get it to provide better than the completely unacceptable results I was getting. Their answer mostly involved using the "unsharp mask" setting -- in other words, post processing the image to give the appearance of greater sharpness. Even with their recommendations, result were no better than what I had previously done without their help. I suggested that perhaps the unit was defective, but they would have none of that. They wanted me to send them scans of silver based prints and scans made with the scanner directly from same negative the prints were made from. At that point (this was two weeks, several phone calls and multiple rounds of email) I gave up -- I work for a living and they had already cost me more of my time that the scanner cost. Through all of that, we were getting no closer to a resolution, with me insisting that the scanner wasn't performing as advertised and them wanting to do more "tests" (all of which involved lots of time and effort on my part.) They never agreed to accept a return on this unit (for repair or replacement) and never even admitted that it might not be working properly. All of that said, it's a good flatbed scanner (but I already had one of those and you can get a good flatbed scanner for a quarter of the price.) I note that this unit has been discontinued and that the nearest replacement (8800F) is under $200. I would guess that Canon recognized the unit's deficiencies or just regards low sharpness in film scans to be acceptable. Live and learn. This is the last Canon product I'll ever buy. Oh, and I did buy a Microtek ArtixScan 120tf dedicated film scanner, and it delivers the quality I expected. It wasn't cheap, either, but unlike the Canon, it delivered what it promised.

Canon Canoscan
I have had Epson scanners in the past and was plagued with problems with every one of them. When I bought the Canon, I did not expect too much. I am delighted to say that it has been trouble-free. (I bought it about a year ago and waited until now to write this, so this report is based on lengthy experience.) I have had no technical problems with it whatsoever and it scans cleanly and quickly. I still have a bit of trouble with "OCR" and wish that the documentation were better or that there were an on-line "course" in how to use it. Other than that, everything is great. I would definitely buy it again.

Excellent value
I purchased this scanner to replace my microtek flatbed scanner so that I could continue to scan photos as well as some larger format negatives that would not fit into my Nikon Coolscan 9000. This scanner blows away Microtek's products. The quality for the photo scans is excellent, and even the scans of negatives is good. The only two drawbacks are the fact that I wish it could do larger than 8x10, and I also wish the scanning resolution was higher than 1200. Still, I have been able to make fantastic prints from my scans that do not look pixelized or digitzed at all. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I will no longer be purchasing Microtek products again.

Canoscan 9950F Driver Issue: Workaround
A quick note to report that the scanner drivers will not work if you have a lot of applications installed that add to the system %PATH% environment variable. Although the limit for %PATH% is over 2,000 characters, the CanoScan drivers fail with paths over about 700 characters. It may be necessary to temporarily shorten your path variable when scanning. I don't think Canon have been taking this problem seriously, as it has remained reported but not fixed (and not listed in the KB) for years, and seems to occur for multiple scanner models, not just the 9550F. If you encounter an error message that reports 'rmslantc.dll' is missing (when it is clearly there) and you are advised to reinstall the drivers, you have encountered this bug. Some applications may not report a missing DLL, but may simply report the scanner is unavailable. A useful workaround is to divide the %PATH% into system and user components, placing non-essential (non-system) path components into the user profile %PATH% variable. The user %PATH% can then be temporarily renamed on the fly (requires logout/login) without any risk of losing path components, as there would be with direct editing.

What is Next From Canon
This unit will blow you away. You would think Amazon screwed up and shipped you a Higher priced item. Very easy to use. It is very easy to look at with the sleek hi-tech design. The Software that came with it is easy enough to figure out and use if you never used a scanner, you'll be using it within the hour. Make copies. Use it for Ebay or Amazon to sell your stuff, with a very high resolution. Also I can save all my treasured pictures to disc w/o having to worry about them being stored in some box somewhere getting destroyed or misplaced. I can just burn them to discs. I must mention about a Camcorder I just purchased. It is a Sony DCR-DVD 505 for that trip to 50TH Annual Running at Daytona. "The Daytona 500" Along with camcorder, the zoom and wide angle lens, case, and the remote tripod. I Highly recommend all these items. With Price and Free Shipping you can't beat it..

Good Price-Great Product
I picked this product up here in Japan new for about U.S. $250.00(30,000yen). Actually the last version of the product is the CanoScan 9950FV. However, it is no longer being manufactured and is not listed in Canon's most current scanner product listing. Too bad! For that reason, I believe, I was able to pick it up for that price. Write and complain to Canon. Bring it back! Having read the reviews of the 9950F I searched the net for availability and found a shop. This is the only Canoscan scanner that will take this range of negative sizes. I wish that Fare(which uses infrared light to detect dust and then remove it)worked on Kodachrome and black and white film but there currently is no substitute technology-even on very expensive dedicated film scanners like Nikon's. My one complaint is that all of the software that came with the scanner here is in Japanese. Of course the basic English software can be downloaded from Canon's U.S. site. But the Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 cannot be. The scans are really beautiful and if you want to copy many photos, slides, negatives this is an indispensible product. 30 35mm negatives at a time, 12 slides, and the ability to scan those old box camera negatives from many years ago.

Canon Can't get their marketing together
Product is unavailable and was listed anyway. Waited over a month to arrive and then gave up. There is no replace, what are they thinking. Buy something else from another supplier. Amazon was exceptional with their support, got me a refund from the outside vendor immediately when asked.

Canoscan 9950F - best scanner I could find
This scanner is the best scanner I have ever owned and used. The resolution is the highest I could find and even more importantly, the software is excellent. I use it routinely for scans used in lithographic reproduction with excellent results. The features of the software allows for very easy top quality scans. The film carriers make scanning film a breeze also. This scanner deserves it's top rating from the computer magazines. - KS

fantastic scanner
I have had this scanner for several months now and I am very impressed with the resolution of the scans it puts out. I scan images from 120 roll film and load to CD's for clients and also print 8 1/2 by 11 photos.I looked at Nikon's printer with similar capabilities. Nikon's scanner cost several thousand dollars and you have to by the film adapters separately. Nikons resolution is not as high as the Canon's This scanner gets two thumbs up from me!
