On any scanner, a speck of dust appears large when scanning something like a negative at 2000 DPI. I scanned photo prints at 600 DPI and the scanner seemed quick at this setting. Scanning at 4000 DPI was fairly slow, so that resolution was only used for photos that may be enlarged. I scanned slides at 2000 DPI and obtained adequate resolution from normal prints.

I used it to scan a couple of thousand slides, a few hundred photos, a few negatives and other documents. For anyone using a previous version of Windows, this is a pretty good scanner. It appears that for Windows 10 users, Canon has abandoned those that own the 8800 and earlier scanners. When I last checked, I could not find a Windows 10 scanner driver from Canon. Good scanner, but Canon did not update the drivers for Windows 10
