I have had this scanner for a few years. I upgraded my operating system on my personal computer and the scanner no longer works. There is longer technical support for this scanner. Make sure your operating system supports it.

Great scanner until I upgraded to Mojave. I called and they told they will not be supporting the latest software for Macs.

Two half-blind scanners. Works excellently, till bulb goes out. Pros: Fast, fast, fast. Easy to use. Good scan quality. Bought new. Light use for document scanning, mostly black and white. 2 weeks after warranty expires - only middle 3rd of bulb lights up, rest of bulb is dark and shows as shadow on document. Bought a used one on eBay, used for 2-3 weeks, a 3rd of bulb does not light up and dark shadow on document. I don't know if a replacement bulb is available; I couldn't find on internet. Too much money for such low durability of bulbs. It doesn't matter if rest of machine is working perfectly; if there is no bulb, scanner is blind. No use of a blind scanner.

This has been an easy to use, reliable scanner for the past 2 1/2 years. I bought it because the reviews said it was good and that if there were problems, Canon's support would be very helpful. The first one I received worked intermittently. But Canon support courteously shipped me a new one and paid for return shipping on the old one. The replacement has been easy to work with and totally reliable. I use it mostly to scan black and white and gray scale. The images are clean, focused with no shadows. Easy to use menu is included in the software.

When my old dedicated photo scanner died, I replaced it with a competitor's top of the line scanner from the same company. It had a cloudy film on the platen underside. I then ordered the 9000f as it had excellent ratings. Glad I did!! It does a credible job for a flatbed on film, prints, and documents. It's control tools under the top tier of control aren't my favorite: too clugey for me. It isn't hugely fast. But acceptable. The main complaint is the film carriers. Cheap, flimsy, and lacking in support for 120 and large formats. The included 120 carrier is rather a joke. There is no carrier for mounted 120, and 35mm in glass mounts doesn't work well, either. I had to manufacture cardboard carriers for odd formats like 28x60mm panoramic camera film. The inability to scan my old 4x5" and 8x10" negs and positives is problematic, but can be handled through various companies....but I prefer keeping them in my control rather than shipping them off. As a flatbed, it appears a good compromise between cost and performance despite the lack of decent film carriers. And yes, I understand it is a consumer grade scanner, not a professional scanner. Canon makes some good equipment, especially dedicated scanners like this one.

Tried to download software. Slowest site on the planet. It knew my OS (good but I seem to need to download 4 separate file. Actually seem to require only two but one will not open so cannot use my scanner.

The scanner itself works fine and I like it. But starting about 6 months ago the software failed -- it will not even start up, so in order to use the scanner I have to use Photoshop Elements 11 since the Canon software is gone. Canon support is unable to figure out what is wrong and the suggestions they make -- to remove other scanning and imaging software from TWAIN32 is of no use because there is no other software there. The other suggestion relates to changing administrators but this is a sole user computer and the administrator has not changed. Why would either of these matter since the Canon software worked fine for six months and then stopped but the computer setup has not changed? The Canon software must no longer be compatible with Windows 7.

Bought it to scan hundreds of family photos including vintage prints and slides. Some early photos dated to the 19th century and slides from WWII. Scanner is versatile, fast and handles everything with precision. Software can help clean-up most photos with minimal effort or experience. This is a great machine for amateurs and pros alike. Especially impressed with the slide and 35mm negative capabilities. Only wish it could handle the instamatic (16mm) negatives--unless I am missing some trick or additional film holder that would accomodate this popular (in the 60s - 80s) format.

Once the appropriate configuration found, the scanner works great for scanning 35mm slides and negatives. I am quite pleased with the results - just want to look at my "souvenirs" as a slideshow on my screen. Otherwise, it takes about 1 minutes per slides/negatives to scan at high resolution with hardware correction enabled. Very satisfy with my purchase.

I use this on a XP pro 64 bit Os. Installed easily and works great. Scanned over 2000 old photos in less than two weeks. Excellent resolution and color reproduction. Scan in seconds.

Best scanner I've owned and I've had a few. Fast, silent, accurate and true to the original. I challenge anyone to tell which photo is the original and which is the scanned copy. Remarkable, really.

The Cannon 9000F captured and restored thirty years of priceless memories with no fuss, no muss. Over 500 slides were scanned and edited producing a more vivid and enhanced finished product than the originals slides which in many cases were faded and yellowed. This is an excellent choice and very affordable.

The scanner works perfectly. Just one little thing to learn vs. my Canoscan that wore out: B&W documents scan as TIFF or BMP. Grayscale gives smaller JPG as an output option. Also, the scanner has to be located closer to the computer. My old Canoscan was at the end of an 8-ft. USB extension. This would not work unless we used just the USB cable it came with. I had to move the printer to a new location.

Nice scanner that I purchased recently because previous scanner had died. Handles all formats well, but is especially good for snapshots and B&W negatives It is easy to use and install and a great value for the money

The scanner is easy to install and is immediately ready to use. The scans are good quality for both photos and film. I find the manual a bit tricky to understand. It would be beneficial to include more general guidelines for scanning and describe precisely what the actual resolution restrictions are. The scanner is an excellent value for the price is more than a casual use needs.

I traveled extensively during the 1960's and 1970's and recorded these travels on 35 mm Kodachrome slides. Recently i visited some of these places again and the changes were mind boggling! I want to do a pictorial comparison of the changes. My internet searches led me to the decision to buy the CanoScan 9000F.I have digitalised my slides without a problem and I am very pleased with the results. The scanner has been very easy to use, and I was really pleased at the speed at which I got through copying all my slides. Now that I have copied all the slides I want to spend time experimenting with the various features. I have not yet attempted to use the scanner for photos or documents, but the instructions for using the scanner for slides were easy to follow so I anticipate it will not be difficult following the instructions for its other features.

I bought this machine to digitialize a lifetime's collection. I guess the machine is Okay, but the software is beyond terrible. On one hand, it talks to you like a 3 year old, on the other hand, it is incredibly obtuse, leads you around in frustrating 'Do-Loops', and you REALLY REALLY have to work at figuring out how to actually save your scans. Should have just taken my slides to a local processor and paid for the conversion.

Bought the CanoNOscan 9000f to digitize and archive my 35mm negatives. The neg holder can hold two six-frame strips of 35mm negatives. The scanner only scans the right side of the neg holder (six frames and does that well, but the left side is only partially scanned. I tried reloading software, read every blog and FAQ and there is no mention of this type of error, so I'm assuming I was delivered a bad scanner out of the box. Bought it thru Amazon.

I bought this scanner because I couldn't find a film scanner which would handle 120 film. This is my first scanner. So far I have done a collection of 40+ year old B&W negatives and some far older family negatives. All of the scans have turned out beautifully. Even odd sizes can be done with a little work around. The provided software is flexible enough to let me do most things. The color transparencies I have done have also come out very very well. When I ran into a problem, the Canon service folks were quick to respond with just the answer I needed. I have a very large collection of color transparencies in both 35mm and 120. I can't wait to get to them. Fantastic product and pretty easy to use.

I have now used this scanner several times for bw negs, color prints and color negs and everything has worked very well. I know this is used professionally, but I used it for personal use at this time. I would not hesitate to use it on a professional basis.

I bought this unit mainly for film scanning but it is so fast at photo scanning, it is now my primary use scanner. The software features in Advanced mode is surprisingly rich. For example, when scanning multiple images you can custom adjust/edit/crop each individual image. Another example is that you can save the image(s) in either TIFF or JPEG format, or both. I am very pleased with this unit. The only draw back, as with most scanners, is that there is (currently) no 64 bit version of the software. This is true with my other scanners as well, however.

Have only done a few scans but it appears to be better than my older Canon scanners that I liked so well. I was unhappy that it would not work with my older computer that I depend on for photo finishing with its CRUT screen.

I scan numerous old family photographs. The Auto Scan feature (a pushbutton on the scanner lid) successfully finds each photo on the glass and produces a very usable image without any prior tinkering by me. You can get a lot done with minimum fuss.
