Does the Canon LiDE 700F scan 35mm slides?

After downloading the product manual, it says "35mm slides are NOT supported." Yeesh! What a shame. I guess the cheapest Canon that can support it is the 5600F. The Epson V300 has good reviews, though, too.

I did not purchase this exact item because I think this is an updated version of the one I originally purchased. I returned it. It was extremely difficult to work with in scanning slides, very slow and the color resolution was awful. I eventually purchased a Canon CanoScan 8800F flatbed scanner from Amazon (probably five years ago) and love it! I scanned almost 15,000 slides and it is still going strong. Easy to work with, great for scanning slides, negatives, photos or documents. I have Windows XP and it is compatible. Remember, I purchased it years ago so I am sure there is an updated version of the one I have. I cannot say enough good about it. Not to mention customer service for Canon products is located in the U.S. I have contacted them twice and always received knowledgeable, understandable and quick resolution to my questions. I think I paid right at $200 for the Canon, but it would be worth it at twice the price. I would strongly encourage you to NOT purchase the Pacific Image unit.

I own one of these and tried to use it to do some quick copies of my 35mm Slides (I also own a couple of pro Slide scanners, but hoped to cut some time)The whole package rotates with the lens, so its really hard to get a decent image of it. In addition it´s good to know that it doesn´t take the 3mm thick slide frames.

Use a printer scanner for slides and 35MM film and you should be able to scan mounted slides. Both of my printer work

Sorry I can't answer that question as I never used it to scan slides. Everything else scans beautifully, though.

I also have thousands of slides that I want to digitize. The 8600 does scan slides, but only if you remove them from their mounts. My advice: Buy a dedicated slide scanner instead.

If your slides deviate from the standard 35 mm frames, you need to select the advanced menu, but yes this scanner will do them.

No, just 35mm slides. For large negatives I use a light box and just take a photo and then reverse the image and adjust exposure.

There are two caddies that come with the scanner. One does normal slides and 35 mm negatives. The other one has an opening that is 2 1/4 x 8 1/2. I think you could do the slides there. I have used it for older over-sized negatives with good results.

I have this scanner and it will only do 35mm negatives. It does a pretty good job considering that this scanner is pretty cheap.

Absolutely. My only problem with the scanner was that it said that it could scan negatives but failed to say only 35 mm negatives. It scans photos great and I'm happy with the results.

Kathleen,No, this printer has no ability to scan 35mm slides. It just has a normal flatbed (document-size) scanner. While another answer suggests that it might be possible, flatbed and 35mm scanners work differently. I would never attempt to use this to scan film. You might also check Epson. They have good printers and models that do scan both documents and slides or film negatives.

I run Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on both my desktop and notebook computers. I haven't installed the LiDE 700F on the notebook, but it works fine on the desktop.I'm not sure how one can blame the scanner for poor OCR. That's the provence of the software.

I don't use the CanoScan for film scanning. I had an expensive, dedicated Epson scanner years ago to do that. Now I just use the CanoScan to copy prints and documents. I think the CanoScan only will scan 35 film or slides.

Although I haven't used this feature yet, the scanner comes with all the necessary hardware to scan film and slides. it's detailed in the onscreen manual and it says you can scan 35mm film negatives, 35mm slides, (film positives) and also 120 format negatives.

I used it to scan 35 mm slides... It also can scan 35 mm negs... But don't believe it will scan larger negs... Not 100% sure though... Hope that helps

The slots and the openings are specifically for 35mm. It will not work for larger slides.
