                      Product Description

                      CanoScan FS2710 delivers outstanding resolution in a compact desktop unit. This affordable high-performance film scanner is the ideal solution for professionals and photo enthusiasts that require exceptional quality scans of 35mm or Advanced Photo System (APS) films. The high-quality scanning ability of CanoScan FS2710 comes from its combination of high-resolution 2720dpi CCD sensor, 36-bit color depth, and the 3.2D optical density range. With this combination the scanner is able to extract the smallest details and broadest range of tones from your original film images.CanoScan FS2710 makes scanning 35mm negative and positive films simple - mounted 35mm slides can be placed straight into the scanner, and 35mm film strips fit in the supplied film strip holder. Unlike many competitor film scanners, CanoScan FS2710 includes an APS film adapter, enabling APS film to be scanned as standard. CanoScan FS2710 can scan 35mm negative and positive films in only 13 seconds and APS film at just 10 seconds per frame. This speedy scanning is well matched by the scanner's high-speed PC interface for transferring the images to the computer. The matching of high speed and high quality ensures maximum productivity.

                      5 out of 5 stars M. Urbarger is right!.......2005-07-04

                      M. Urbarger is right! I've been struggling with this for a long time and I finally found the answer! Canon USA is useless for this. Shame on them!

                      Here are the instructions. It's only three steps:

                      Step 1. Remove the 2710 driver from your computer. Start/control panel/add or remove Programs/Canocraft FS.

                      Step 2. Download and install this key program from Adaptec(...)

                      This is an exe file that unzips a bunch of files into a folder. You then hit Start/Run/ and browse for the file "aspiinst.exe". After it's done, re-boot.

                      Step 3. Re-install canocraft software.

                      And it Works! Once again, shame on Canon for not supporting this easy fix.

                      5 out of 5 stars Does work with XP.......2004-12-10

                      You just have to know what you're doing :-) I just got this scanner secondhand, and I have XP.

                      Canon Australia support pages contain information on updating ASPI for Windows XP. http://www.canon.com.au/support/customer/default.asp?DXI=KnowledgeBase/Customer/KBArticleForm&File=KB00191

                      Canon Europe has an updated CanoScan software download that apparently support XP. http://www.canon-europa.com/cgi-bin/CEDD/list-languages.cgi?catid=4&productid=142&systemid=47

                      It's not that hard. I love it, and I've only had it for a week or so.

                      3 out of 5 stars No support.......2004-04-26

                      Good product (3 stars) but no driver available for use with Windows XP. I found this out when I moved from a Windows '98 system to an XP system. Planned obsolescence from our friends at Canon.

                      4 out of 5 stars Not for the faint at heart.......2003-05-05

                      I have had this scanner for a year adn a half and have put nearly 5000 slides through it. I am happy with the overall quality of the scans for what I paid for this. I use this as a proofing tool-- I only get my negatives developed (when I shoot prints) and then scan them to proof them. Or if I shoot slides and want to put them on the internet or retouch them. The scanner will make up to an 8x12 at 400dpi. which is okay. Again you must look at what you are paying. The neat scratch removing features that the upper models have would be nice but again repeating for the price this is a great little scanner. I have been happy. I even got it to work in XP but it did take some research. Info for installing in XP or 2000 can be found [online.]

                      5 out of 5 stars Great scanner, if you upgrade the software.......2003-01-28

                      Canon's Canoscan FS2710 Film Scanner = Great Scanner if you update software

                      I bought the scanner in September 2000 and have used it scan hundreds of negatives and slides. The supplied software is limited, but it can be replaced with aftermarket software. The new software turbocharges the scanner producing beautiful, true-to-scene images.

                      The scanner has three major components; namely, 1) Canoscan FS2710 scanner hardware, 2) Canocraft FS3.6.1 scanner driver software, and 3) Photoshop LE image editing software. I have reviewed these items individually.

                      SCANNER HARDWARE = A BEST BUY, HIGH QUALITY SCANNER
                      Canon makes excellent quality cameras and scanners at attractive prices. Some competitive film scanners charge extra for the APS film holder and SCZI driver card. Canon includes these items in the base price package. My comparison shopping showed Canon's package price 30-50% less than comparable, competitive units.

                      The scanner is thoughtfully designed and ruggedly built. It's is a high precision machine that scans at 2720 dpi which is about the limit for 35 mm film. The resultant files are extremely high-resolution for razor sharp, full-page prints. More importantly, the images can be severely cropped and still produce very sharp pictures.

                      If I were to buy a scanner today, it would be the CanoScan FS2710 or the FS2720.

                      CANOCRAFT FS3.6.1 SCANNER DRIVER SOFTWARE = HORRIBLE
                      Scanner driver software has four major functions; namely, 1) Accurately digitize true-to-scene-colors and lighting, 2) Fine tune settings for the scanner, 3) Create a useful monitor preview of the scanned image, and 4) Work with different Windows, Macintosh, etc. operating systems. Regrettably, the Canon software does NONE of these jobs well. Fortunately, there is an alternative to solve all of these problems. The software is called VueScan. It's free to try, or buy.

                      ACCURATELY DIGITIZE TRUE-TO-SCENE-COLORS AND LIGHTING?
                      Canocraft FS3.6.1 scanner driver software produces contrasty images losing detail in the highlights and shadows. At best, it is drugstore 1 hr. photofinishing quality. Canon's driver software never produces true-to-scene-colors. It often shifts colors to an unpleasing and unnatural color-cast which is extremely difficult to remove with image editing software. Underexposed, dark slides cannot be scanned with this software.

                      Not to worry. VueScan scanner driver software faithfully replicates colors in the original scene including subtle details like light, puffy clouds in the sky highlights. The pictures are beautiful. Professional photographers use this software for exhibition quality images. Even difficult scenes, like underexposed, dark slides, can be turned into good pictures.

                      FINE TUNING SETTINGS FOR THE SCANNER?
                      Canon's scanner driver software has as much precision adjustment as you could get using a pipe wrench for watch repair. It has only one setting for type of light, light intensity and type of film. Adjusting histogram levels can be very difficult because the histogram is often a "flat line" with no vertical height.

                      VueScan software offers surgical precision adjustment capability. Lighting can be set for indoor fluorescent, tungsten, autolevel, night photography and neutral (to eliminate difficult color casts). Light intensity can be set to four levels. The software also recognizes 200 different types of film. It's incredible. Pick the color setting for your scene, then the light level, set to your film type, and then fine tune the image preview by setting white and black points, brightness for the scene and brightness for red, green, and blue (if desired) before you scan to a disk file.

                      USEFUL MONITOR PREVIEW OF THE SCANNED IMAGE?
                      The Canon driver software produces a fixed size preview about 4.5x7 inches. VueScan allows the user to set the image preview to any size up to full screen. No more postage stamp size previews!

                      WORK WITH DIFFERENT COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEMS?
                      Canon driver software has limited compatibility with operating systems. It works with my Windows 98SE, but I can't upgrade to XP because of compatibility issues. VueScan software works with most Windows and Mac operating systems including Windows XP.

                      IMAGE EDITING SOFTWARE PHOTOSHOP LE = NOT USER FRIENDLY
                      Use your Photoshop LE serial number to get a rebate on Adobe Photoshop Elements2. This is great image editing software. It features ease of use for the amateur and fine-tuning capability for the professional.

                      BOTTOM LINE
                      Canoscan FS2710 is a great scanner limited by the manufacturer's driver software. Upgrade to aftermarket scanner driver software to unleash the potential of this scanner. You'll appreciate the dramatic improvement in the scanned images.
