Follow-up to DR-2080CSeptember 6, 2005 25 out of 34 found this review helpful
I have not (yet) bought the Canon DR-2050C, but studied its specifications. It seems to be equivalent to the predecessor Canon DR-2080C, except for the supplied software and the computer interface. If you can, go back and read the reviews for the DR-2080C. The old model featured both a USB 2.0 and a SCSI-II connection. The new model has only the USB 2.0 interface. The exterior design is also a little different, with the new model being a little more rounded. Let's be clear: Both are A4/legal size scanners. The talk of scanning A3 documents (11x16 inches) is a software feature that requires you fold your A3 documents to scan front and back at the same time. Software can then stitch the two images together again.
I've owned my old Canon DR-2080C for two years now, and have been very happy with it. But I've used it a lot, I think I've scanned 100,000 two-sided pages (200,000 images) with it, and it is coming to the end of its lifetime, so I'm leaning towards replacing it with the new DR-2050C. Perhaps its nearest competitor, the Fujitsu fi-5110EOX, is a little cheaper but isn't TWAIN/ISIS compatble.
