The scanner is capable of scanning them, the problem is you will need to make a special holder for the negatives. 126 slides are no problem.

I`m puzzled as to what 110,120, 126 negative sizes actually were. I have many different B & W negs from the 40`s,50`s and 60`s. Any way to tell them apart? thanks. Russ B.

A slight correction to the statement that the software doesn't allow for the 110 format. You are correct that the automatic slide/negative detection only works for certain sizes, but if you turn off the preview mode, button top left when in the advanced scanning tab, you will get the raw strip from the scanner. Using the dashed line box, you have to manually draw the box around the slide/negative you want to capture. It will capture as many as you draw boxes for. Painful, yes, but it does work.The likelihood of an SDK would seem remote, as this is a driver you would be hacking, but an expanded set of formats would certainly be more attractive than the current hand drawing method.

I tried your suggestion and it seems to work for a single frame. Like the original poster, I have many strips of 126 negatives and would like to scan all four frames at once. Is that possible?
1373906
Vaboo! Good topic.I've got a box of *everything* -- 110, 35mm and 126 negatives. The problem is the software doesn't really allow for this film format . . . I'm going to see if they have a SDK or something to hack that.Any suggestions for the 110s?Also, can someone suggest a good (cheap) negative viewer? That pana-vue #2 looks perfect except it's for slides.Thanks in advance!

Someone posted a link to a company that sells film holders for 110, 126, 127, 8mm, and Minox negatives on another thread:http://filmscanusa.com/cs-cart/index.php?target=categories&category;_id=170

I utilise the 120 films frame to scan 126. The film can be clamped at the front and at one side in the frame (holes side). A short adhesive tape fixes the film on the black auxiliary sheet to prevent slipping. In the scanner driver, select "Preview" and "Zoom" and mark the frame to be scanned. Start scanning.

I typed out a long-winded answer only to realize that Wikipedia probably has a much better explaination. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_formatVery easy to tell apart when you know what to look for.

Hi Kathryn (same spelling as my daughter). I previously tried to use a film scanner that I never got going - software clash or faulty - I don't know. What I liked about the SVP was that it is stand alone, scans to an SD card, jpg files. That way as long as your computer can read a sdcard (via a sdcard reader slot or a USB sdcard memory reader - about $10NZ) you can get your pictures. The other beauty is that last weekend I was asked to mind the gallery for a couple of hours so I took the SVP scanner, some negs (the SD card 32Gig) had lunch and and scanned 7 rolls of films. So YES it should be okay for a mac. Enjoy, regards Murray Hi Kathryn (same spelling as my daughter).

I am having the same problem of some slides scanning as negatives and someitmes one slide outof four not getting scanned. I found nothing in the FAQ or on the Canon site for the 4400F about this negative slide image problem, so I sent them an email for help today and hope they have a fix. I'll post it if they do.

Thanks SO much, Liberty! I've been trying to find a scanner to preserve old photos digitally, but several are larger than 8.5x11", i.e. 11x14", so I need a bit larger glass to fit them. I expected this to be easy...not so! My old scanner is that big, but it only plugs into an old-style desktop computer, not USB2 laptop, and now I am wondering if I can find a plug adapter so I can use the old scanner for the big photos. Likely the scanner software won't recognize XP!

Are you kidding? Who do you know that has purchased BOTH??? All I can say is that the 9000F2 does a great job on picture scanning - I've scanned lots. The trick is to position 4-6 photos on the platen, then set the Scan & Preview resolutions the same. Then you can choose each photo and save it without having to rescan between each save.

Yes - you will be able to scan 2-1/4 film, but out of the holder. The comment below by John Lynch is a good one. It's a great scanner and I use it to digitize all my film from when I shot professionally.

See other comments for initial answer.You can scan as many photos as you can fit on the screen at once. If there is no space between them on the vertical bias, it will do them all in one scan just as fast. Of course, then you have to crop and tag each one to separate them. If you leave space between them on the vertical bias, it will scan them separately, but of course it takes a little longer. You can easily do two 5x7 photos at a time. It will do 2 passes and give you 2 separate images if done as I described above.

I am not completely sure on that question. I have not used this for negatives as of yet. But on the box it says "scan slides and negative, including medium format". I'm not sure if the 120 negatives you are referring to are considered medium format. If they are, then I suppose this answers your question. If not, sorry I could not be of more assistance.

I would guess you could scan any negatives smaller than 35mm. You would need to use a photo editing program to clean it up and if part of another picture showed up cut it out.

I have lots of 110 negatives and unfortunately I could not scan them. I tried sliding them in and holding in place, but it wouldn't work for me. But it works great on 35's.

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.

D. Fisher, Thanks very much for your response. I've copied your posting on batch scanning and will follow it. I'm just starting to use the V750 to scan my Hassy negs and your information is of great help. --E. Williams

I have not found a way to do it or an accessory to buy. If anyone has had any success, please post it. I would very much like to scan my negatives. Thanks.

I am having the SAME problem ... I did all this research and determined that the 880IS was the camera for me. And I saw a number of posts indicating that people were paying around two fifty for it. And now ... I cannot find it ANYWHERE!! Does anyone know if it is discontinued or replaced by a newer model?

I am interested in what yoiu decide. I am looking at the same two scanners, primarily to scan family slides. The reviews for the Canon seem more consistently favorable. Those for Epson seem to reflect either love or hate.
153437
I am looking at the V500 compared to the 4490. Any suggestions? The reviews all rave about the V500 for slides and negatives, which I too plan to scan, but I also have many old photos.

I just called Canon and asked the same question. They said that one big difference is that the 830 copies and scans double sided. (I thinks that's what they said.) The 530 does not do that.
