<snip> I just had a look....what a deal! I love my Canon scanner, but it's a whole lot bigger and takes more landscape and the inclusion of PE2 is a real deal! </snip> The thing that bugs me about Canon and their scanners is the crappy OS X support for some of the models. If you look at Canon's website, they list 3 consumer photo scanners, the LiDE 20, 30 and the 50 (which has been discussed here). They all list native OS X support, but if you look closely, the two cheaper models (LiDE 20 and 30) require Photoshop 7 for OS X native support. How many people shopping for a cheap scanner are going to have, or want Photoshop 7? I love my Canon Cameras and scanner, but this mediocre Mac support is frustrating. Sorry about the rant.
