Although 35mm photographic film is now a factor in the past for all but the die-hard enthusiast or seasoned professional, many of us will still have filmstrips or slides dotted close to our houses. With the aid of Canon’s new flatbed scanner, these treasured memories can now be transferred to higher resolution digital storage. The CanoScan 9000F scans at 9600 x 9600 dots per inch in Film mode, gains from immediate power up thanks to white LED which enable it to even instantly eliminate imperfections from scanned images to boost about the originals.
Canon’s highest resolution flatbed 12-line color scanner to date, the CanoScan 9000F, incorporates a pro movie, high-speed Charged-Coupled Device sensor and will handle approximately four 35mm slides or 12 35mm filmstrips at any a single time. Photographic film is scanned at 9600 x 9600 dots per inch in Film mode, with other document sorts coming in at as much as 4800 x 4800 dpi.
The new addition towards the Canon array aims to create things as quick as probable for the user by providing an alternative of EZ buttons for single press functionality. An Auto Scan Mode detects what’s being scanned and adjusts settings for best output and FARE Level 3 technology cleans up illustrations or photos by immediately removing dust and scratches whilst correcting fade, grain or backlight complications at a similar time. Readability of scanned documents hasn’t been overlooked with Auto Document Fix sharpening and darkening any difficulty text.
The unit will work with both Windows and Mac methods via USB 2.0 and avoids warm up time of old by making use of white LED, which saves on energy consumption as well.
Canon is set to unleash the CanoScan 9000F to the marketplace during June 2010 and has tagged it with an estimated price tag of US$249.99.
