The scanner scans 12 35mm negitives at a time, you can set the dpi different for each one! 1200 dpi is about a min. There were no malfunctions of the scanner over the years that I owned it, so it seems to be a reliable unit. I also used photoshop to remove any color shift that was a result of film aging. I found it better to clean the film really well then use photoshop to remove imperfections. Software can automatically eliminate the specks, but be careful because some software will also reduce the resolution of the image because it removes EVERYTHING smaller than the speck size that you filter out. 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
