Canon’s recipe for the CanoScan 8800F ($199.99 direct) seems simple. Start with the previous generation Canon CanoScan 8600F, boost the already-high quality for scans to make the results even better, replace the light source with LEDs to eliminate warm-up time for scanning, and—sorry to say—raise the price by about 20 percent. The result is a flatbed scanner that does a good job with film and an excellent job with photographic prints.

The 8800F has a lot in common with the 8600F that it replaces. It offers the same 4,800-pixel-per-inch (ppi) optical resolution, a similar scan speed (as timed in my tests), and a similar ability to scan film reasonably well, but with important limits. In particular, it can scan only four slides or two six-frame strips of 35mm film at a time.
