Wanted to digitise years worth of magazines I have been hoarding so looked at some robust scanners which might withstand a heavy workload. However many models offer sophisticated operations which I don’t need so figured that the LiDE 400 was worth a punt since it’s priced so favourably.Out of the box it’s pretty light and slim and doesn’t look like it will withstand any mishandling but once it’s on a desk I suppose there is little that can damage it. One big plus for this scanner is that it is USB powered, no mains leads and transformers etc. However, if you intend to run it on a Mac with OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) be warned... it won’t.I spent a good few hours attempting to find drivers and work rounds to get this thing working without any luck.

I used it to digitise about 120 photographs (not negatives - it won't do negatives) taken 18-20 years ago of our 2nd home during renovation / redecoration etc. I used my MacBook Air and downloaded the Mac iOS software from the Canon website. The instruction manual is minimalist, to say the least, but I could follow it easily for basic set-up. There is a much fuller manual available online.From taking it out of the box, to first photo scanned took no more than 25 mins, if that.The photos had been taken with 33mm compact zoom film cameras c.2000 - 2002 so I was not expecting perfection. The scanner has produced very good quality editable jpegs of decent (but not great) quality photos.

Great resolution and great improvement over the Canon Lide 700. On the Lide 700 which came out in 2009 I believe, the documents had to clearly and cleanly (that is to remain flat) on the scanner for the image to come out 100%,This is not the case with the Lide 400 which came out in 2018. Images or documents or books can be 1-2 mm off of the glass and the image is still perfect.Enjoy the scanner.J

We want to scan old photos, this replaced our older 100lde scanner. Very similar model but better resolution. Not quite as good as I would have liked, but it is amazing value and very easy to setup. Built in OCR software does a good job at a basic level. Can recognise text accurately, but not formatting. So not good for spreadsheets etc.

An excellent scanner! The quality is very nice and it's quite fast too. To get the best results, you'll want to change some settings here and there. There are options to scan photos, documents, magazines and so on. My first scan looked awful, but after I changed a few settings it looked amazing!

Bought this for scanning old motorcycle magazines. Absolutely perfect for this taking 8 seconds per page (set for document), comes with a Pdf editor so easy to sort each file at the end of a run. With editing & a quick check it is possible to scan 4 mags of 50 pages in 1 hour.

Excellent all rounder - very good for home use. Some disappointment with Canon, as I had an ealier version and could not get drivers for windows 10 so replaced - not expensive but should not need too.Stand a bit unstable.
