CanoScan 8800F film and negative scanner
Posted by John on August 24th, 2009
Just ordered a new multi-purpose scanner, I was long overdue.
Canon CanoScan 8800F Color Film/Negative/Photo/Document Scanner
Max. Power Consumption 18W (1.5W standby) seems pretty good.
It’s Energy Star rated, etc. and it’s gotten pretty good reviews for film, negatives, and slides besides the usual scan objects.
Then you see Canon’s top non-film scanner for the home / home office market (aka me) :
2.5W (1.4W Standby) – USB power only, no power converter or cable needed. one wire, yup.
I know that’s geekdom, but that’s pretty cool for the scan device to be using a whopping 2.5 watts while actively scanning in documents, etc. Even though I went for the first one, and will leave it unplugged when not in use (the vast majority of the time) the efficiency of the standard one is intriguing.
