Best Scanner For Macs
For the price, you can't beat it. Plugged into my MacBook Pro, started Image Capture and I was scanning at the highest resolutions, without downloading any software from Canon.

Latest Situation
I recently purchased a second CanoScan LIDE 300, thinking that the first one was bad. Much to my surprise I found out that both scanners do not interface with Apple Sequoia 15.5 and that a new "patch fix" needed to be made by Canon. They also could not tell me when that would happen??
The only saving factor was that when I connected the scanner to my older Mac Cylinder,...

Does not have the ablities of the Canoscan 9000F
I was unable to replace my Canoscan 9000F which was functioning well but for which drivers for Windows 11 were unavailable from Canon. Th LIDE 300 does not have the ability of the Canoscan 9000F.

Canon LIDE300 Scanner Review
I use this scanner for basic everyday scanning
of mostly text documents. I do scan images sometimes
and find it does that quite well also.
Having owned a Canon LIDE30 scanner for a very long
time, I can vouch to say, from my experience, that it
has been a very reliable scanner and easy to use.

Canon Scanner Purchase
I purchased this scanner with not a high degree of certainty that it would be very good. But I've been surprised with not only the ease of use but with the quality of the scans.

This is a scam product. NOT 2400 DPI!
This is a scam product. It does NOT scan in 2400 dpi: Just 600 dpi. Tried both on mac and pc. These specifications are LIES!

Canon Scanner LIDe 300
Love my purchase. Canon never fails to build great products. I've had this for a few weeks now and it scans and copies with great clarity. For the amount of time I use this, I couldn't be more satisfied.

Good but not great
I'm sure is great with documents but I got it for photos. Not great. It says 2400 DPI but photos scan max of 600 DPI. Not what I thought when reading the product specs. Does scan better than my previous model at same DPI though.

Works great!
It’s a perfect scanner for doc prep I’m using now since I’m working for home. I set it at 600dpi for doc scan, resolution is high enough. Photo scan looks great too. In addition, it can put separate pdf files together as a single doc.
Easy to install and convenient to use. An excellent handy helper in office!

horrible device software and support
This is one of the worst product experiences I have ever had - this should not be for purchase - drivers/general support - I wanted a portable scanner for a gift for my child of 14 who love scanning drawings - and after 1 week from 8/13-8/20 of trying to get this to work while on our vacation where we gifted - I returned home on 8/30 to find the return window was close...

Terrible Customer Service
The scanner doesn’t work and no one was able to help me. And you also don’t let me return my product.
