Pros
Pro 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.
Pro 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.
Pro 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.
Cons
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.
When scanning photos at high qualities, one usually checks the quality after each scan, adjusts the settings etc, so the Lide 220 being a flatbed scanner with no document feeder is not a big deal.
