Great for most uses, but only fair for books September 20, 2007

With a few caveats, this is a great little scanner. The best part is that it actually fits in my Targus computer case WITH my laptop. It weighs only 2-3 pds, and runs off USB power---no converter brick to haul around. Scans are sharp and fast.
Not so terrific for scanning books. The particular design of scanner is that it cannot scan 3D objects (unlike some scanners), therefore text near the spine not in actual contact with the glass is blurry. Nor can you just press down the book---this seems to warp the glass causing blurriness elsewhere on the page. Also, the lid is non-removable, which means that you may be out-of-luck if you need to scan part of a large object.
 The perfect laptop scanning companion September 16, 2007

The CanoScan LiDE 90 is small, light, and portable. It's no wider or longer than my Dell Insperon 6000, so it fits nicely in my laptop case. It can easily be hidden in a desk drawer. All power is through the USP, so there is no need for an electrical socket. The scanner is on only when it is scanning, so it does not run down the laptop's battery. The color photo scanning is quite accurate. The supplied OCR worked surprisingly well. Images can also be saved as PDF files. This affordable scanner covers the scanning basics well, and will prove to be a real time saver for me.

Got this to replace my 4-year-old Visioneer scanner. My visioneer scanner works with my paperport verion 9.0, but it won't work with the latest Paperport version 11.0. So, I have to find a new one. This LiDE90 is a good balance choice between price and performance. Got it from Amazon for $69.99.
Pro:
1. Powered by USB directly. So, I now don't need to power it up/down between scanning jobs any more.
2. Very thin. And is smaller than my visioneer scanner.
3. Work with the latest Paperport software (ver 11).
4. The scanner driver provides quite some options. Good for fine tuning.
5. Scanning speed is good (depends on resolution).
Con:
1. The lid can be raised about 1 inch for book scanning. But, can not scan think books.
Some people may complain about the squeezing noise from it. But it's not too loud. And it seems all low-price scanners have similar type of noise when scanning.
Overall, I am happy with this purchase.

As an artist or mainstream illustrator, the quality of your work comes as good as the quality of your materials and medium you apply yourself to; such is the case with this scanner. Ever wonder why some graphic design businesses have printers and scanners that they got 10-20 years ago and never replace them? Besides the idea that "it's old Betsy" or "why bother with routine?" or "it works... we don't need to waste our money..." these reasons are true, but mostly it's because when you wanted something then, it MATTERED and what was offered was the best money could buy and still is if they're still using them up to that point on and probably still planning to.
How do I fit into this category? I've had a different scanner which I'd actually recommend much better off than this one, the CanoScan FB630U, which actually performs on a quality scale much better than this LIDE90. The performance margins are incredible though, an updated featurette for quicker scanning processes, it soars through scans like you wouldn't believe, even at 300 DPI settings the LIDE90 will fly past them and you can keep feeding it, however that's probably the only perk I have about it, but it also being the most overbearing one that diminishes the one thing I'm looking for as an illustrator, quality.
At first I was amazed at how fast the LIDE90 scanned some of my images but then once I took a look at them... something was diminished about them... I wasn't sure what I was looking at but I FELT there was something wrong. That's when I got the good ol' FB630U out and scanned the same exact image. Opened up photoshop, did an image side-by-side comparison... and the results were as clear as night and day. Seriously, check the link for yourself I compiled:
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j194/Aardcore/Scannercompare.jpg?t=1200695748
As you can clearly see, the LIDE90 had a quality mark to, yes, scan the image but in such a hindering way it didn't even FEEL like my drawing anymore, which bothered me. Then compared to the FB630U... the comparison is flawless, the FB630U actually outperfoming the LIDE90 as far as picking up deeper contrasts, richer image sourcing and picking up a smooth, natural look to the image... the LIDE90 turning it pixelated, hindered and reducing alot of the contrasts-- NOT ARTISTRY FRIENDLY.
If you're looking for a scanner that'll get the job done and willing to pitch the price tag for what it says... go ahead and buy this scanner like I did; I will keep it around, probably looking to find some other use for it, but definitely not to assist me in my artistic endeavors (please don't critique the image either... it's several years old and the only one I had lying around, the point I'm making across is the quality the scanners were meant to do, as such I presented).
I'm not even sure where to go with this except that if you're looking for something cheaper than the rest of the flatbed scanners you've seen out there that price 2-5 times higher than this one, then get this scanner but if you're willing to pay for a scanner that does alot more for you and you know it will, then pay for what you want, seriously. However if you have an 'old Betsy' lying around and she's still running a good amount of miles for you, keep her around by any means necessary because there's nothing wrong with commitment, routine and knowing what you have is good... don't cop out for something that's 'new and improved' I see the improvement... which is in speed of scanning an image or source, but nothing new about it except the fact it pissed me off at how much it's hindered and hurt my images, greatly appreciating how aware I've become of this now before it was too late to settle.
Here's a bit of knowledge to throw into this review for some people to get a heads up of what I'm going for. The LIDE90 was released mid 2007 and supposedly good for all the updating you'll need, ready for Vista, 'new technology' and just an overall played up concept on the original idea to just 'scan' an item in. The CanoScan FB630U however, I've had mine since 2000 and has been an absolute Spartan when it comes to getting the job done, if you've seen the link I posted, you'll see what I mean. Comparing this new LIDE90 to a 7 year old champ like the FB630U? Not a chance... but like I said, get what you want, but I hope I've shed some light on a very misleading shadow.
Excellent step up from the Lide 25 November 5, 2007

I purchased and used a Canon Lide 25 scanner for about 2 weeks. While browsing a local office supply store and seeing this unit I wondered if it would work better/easier, so it came home and was setup. I'm scanning hundreds of photos and a number of 8.5 x 11" documents. The Lide 90 software is much better; this scanner is USB 2.0 compatible and therefore much faster producing output. The BIG difference is the software; directly Vista compatible, easier to use, nicer interfaces. I recommend this scanner over the model 25, especially if you have a large amount of scanning work ahead. My scanning output has more than doubled by switching to this scanner.
