Vivid results when scanning photos
With a maximum optical resolution of 4800 x 4800 dpi(dots per inch), this model is designed to scan and capture high resolution photos and documents - you can expect to get very vivid results. Compared to other competitors' models, the colors of your scanned images look more like the original document. If you wish to scan a photo, you have an additional option to restore the color and remove the dust to enhance the image. This makes the scanned photo more clear and life-like.

Con
Limited software
Although it was designed for high resolution documents, it does not have any photo editor software. You will have to acquire one in addition.

Quick scanning
The Canon LIDE 220 is a fairly fast scanner, even at higher resolutions. Scan quality or resolution is measured in dpi - dots per inch. It takes more time to scan at higher resolutions. According to ExpertReviews, it takes 15 seconds to scan a A4 document at 150 dpi and 18 seconds to scan the same document at 300dpi. Scanning a 6 x 4 inch photo at 600 dpi takes 21 seconds, at 1,200 dpi it takes 68 seconds. These are very decent speeds for such high-quality scans.

Con
Lacks an automatic document feeder(ADF)
The Canon Lide220 does not have an automatic document feeder, so you have to do it manually. This makes scanning large piles of documents extremely time- and energy-consuming.

Great design - doesn't take up a lot of deskspace
It doesn't take up a lot of space in the office, since it measures only 250 x 365 x 39 mm. It takes even less tablespace in upright position using the removable stand.

Produces high-quality scans
The scanner has 6400 ppi optical resolution. The quality is slightly better than on it's brother, the Epson Perfection V800. The V850 can distinguish between very small changes in shading, to provide a more life-like result.

Con
Overkill for regular users
The Epson V850 Pro is a professional tool for scanning film. When backing your physical family photos on your computer, this nearly $1000 scanner is a clear overkill. Scanners that cost just a fraction of the price can do a quality job.

Color-calibration software is frustrating
Using the software on this Epson requires a lot of learning - reading the manual and watching the embedded videos. Getting the cheaper Epson Perfection V800 and acquiring color-calibration software like the SilverFast Ai Studio 8 in addition is a great alternative.
