Four new launches from Canon look set to shake up the scanner market. With two new additions to its high-performance CanoScan line up and another to duo to its
LiDE range, the manufacturer is banking on a bumper autumn season.

The LiDE 600F and 70 replace the 500F and 60 models and both offer increased resolution ? the CanoScan LiDE 600F is the first CIS scanner capable of scanning at 4800dpi. Each scanner boasts a compact style and features a stand for vertical scanning, while all power is drawn through a USB 2.0 connection to cut down the demand for power points around a computer.
