Description
For professional-looking projects, you need a scanner that works like a pro. The CanoScan D2400UF USB Flatbed Scanner is the ultimate choice for those who want a reliable, high-performance scanner for film and photos. Superb 2400 x 4800 dpi resolution, automatic retouching and innovative speed-enhancement technology are just a few of the many features that help make this a truly remarkable scanner.The D2400UF scanner goes far beyond typical text and graphics scanning capabilities to include a versatile, built-in, large-format film adapter. Using the external scan button, you can easily scan anything from 20 cm x 25 cm photos to 35 mm slides and negatives, as well as medium format and 10 cm x 13 cm negatives and transparencies. Thanks to Canon's Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement (FARE) technology, you can achieve spectacular results when you scan slides and negatives. FARE technology automatically and precisely removes dust and scratches that may appear on the original film, creating a more pristine final scan. And with true internal and external 48-bit color, you can capture and use more than 281 trillion colors available on your Mac or PC.
The CanoScan D2400F could well be the ideal scanner for the serious amateur imaging buff. Offering an incredible resolution of 2,400 x 4,800 dpi and48-bit color, your photographic enlargements will have the same absoluteclarity of the smaller originals. With the transparency adapter, which canhandle 35mm film and slides, you can enlarge all the way up to 11 by 17 inches, animpressive step up from the standard maximum size of 8 by 10. Highlights,shadings, and fine detail all come through swimmingly, and with the simpleone-touch operation, this scanner is relatively easy for newcomers tomaneuver. The USB interface is compatible with either PC or Macintosh, asis the accompanying software package, which includes Photoshop 5.0 LE,ArcSoft PhotoBase 2.1, and ScanSoft OmniPage 9.0.

Excellent scanner
[ Posted: 2002-04-26 ]
I have used a Microtek ScanMaker 35t Plus for film and two flatbed scanners for paper copies. The Microtek was a great disappointment that does not perform as expected. After acquiring the CanoScan D2400U, I can get rid of my three scanners and can scan larger-format negatives as well. The speed of this scanner is not the best, but this does not really bother me. At least, a prescan of three 35mm negatives at once do save some preview time. The sharpness might be a bit less than a dedicated film scanner, but look at the cost of such a scanner that can also handle large negatives. With some retouching on Photoshop, the quality of the scans are very good. I particularly like the automated scratch removal feature, which I use all the time for colour films. That saves me a lot of retouching time afterwards.
Slide Scanner Mode lacks Some Detail Resolution

Overall it does what Canon says it will that is both normal and film scanning in one package with software correction of surface defects. However if you compare a scan of let us say a 4x6 print from a negative with a direct scan of the negative there is a slight loss of detail present at 2400 dpi the max resolution possible. How significant this is to a customer is a matter of personality and need. It is the best dual scanner right from what I can see but as a prosumer type of person I have a problem with that slight loss of detail.....but then again look at the price I would have to pay to get better (ouch).
