 Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2007 10:15 pm Post subject: 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.

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.

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. |

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? |

Absolutely, if the scanner's sensor is a CCD type.
Just look at jewelry on Ebay.
A lot of the jewelry is from a scanner. Some are from a digital camera.

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.

Yes, but as others have said, you will need a CCD scanner in order to get a good scanned image. The LiDE 25 and LiDE 70 both use a CIS (Contact Image Sensor) for scanning. The CanoScan 8600F uses a CCD for scanning. |
