I recently tried to get an Epson all in one to scan, print, copy, direct print to CDs, but was only mediocre at these tasks so back it went.
Used the store credit to get a Canon 9000f scanner. I have some old 35mm film negatives shot with a point and shoot. So I thought I would give the 9000f a trial go at scanning a negative.
I found the 9000f a breeze to set up and use. Software seems to have a lot of advanced adjustment options, yet easy to use. I found the regular image, photo, etc. scans easy fast and great detail, and good color.
The negative holder and process to scan the film was easy as well. If you use the higher settings IE: 4800 or 9600 resolutions you will have time for coffee. :D The one test scan I did at 4800 created a 90 MB file. The resolution was enough to print a 12X18 at about 350 ppi.
Boy howdy that 35mm negative had a ton of dust and spots!! I didn't spend an excessive amount of time on it but in CS5 the content aware healing brush made short work of the big stuff.
Here is the result.
