Living in a New York City apartment limits one's options when it comes to little perks, such as home darkrooms. So, when I decided to start shooting and developing film again I knew that a scanner was the solution. I researched the options and chose the Canon SC8800F based on three basic requirements. The first was the ability to scan medium format negatives. There are many scanners that will image 35mm negatives, the choice in medium format and slides is rather narrower. The second criteria was image quality, I photograph with Canon camera's and lenses, so I trust Canon to provide me with a solid product. Finally, price, while I would love to have a high end scanner with the kind of resolution suitable for spy photographs, the thousands of dollars they cost remains prohibitive. The CS8800F meets and exceeds each of the categories. The scanner ships with the film guides to scan 35mm negatives and slides and 6圆 medium format negatives. The 8800 scans up to 4800 dpi, which produces a gargantuan resolution and stellar clarity. Finally, the price for the unit simply cannot be beat. The only minor quibble I have with the Canon is the scan speed, which is quite slow. This is simply a trade off for the price, you can buy faster scanners with better resolution but nowhere near this price. If you are simply looking for a cheap, easy scanner to digitize snapshots and copy documents, you will find cheaper models with features designed for home office use. If you are a photographer or artist looking for an affordable solution to bridge the film/digital gap, the Canon CS8800F is the answer to the question.I found a solution from teh Microsoft Community Forum The issue is that the CanonScan 8800F is not supported by Canon under Windows 10, which means there is no Windows 10 driver for it.
