Score: 68/100
Canon Canoscan Lide 300
Score: 73/100Rankings
The Canon CanoScan LiDE 300 is a compact flatbed scanner delivering 2400 × 2400 dpi optical resolution and fast 10-second A4 color scans. It lacks an automatic document feeder and modern connectivity options, making it best suited for home users and occasional scanning tasks.
The Doxie Go SE offers true portable scanning with battery power, internal storage and ABBYY OCR, making it convenient for field work. Its slow scan speed, lack of an ADF and limited resolution reduce suitability for high-volume or high-detail tasks. Ideal for freelancers and mobile professionals needing occasional on-the-go digitization.

Professional reviewers and Canon's own marketing portray the LiDE 300 as a sleek, affordable flatbed that offers high-resolution 2400 dpi scans and fast 10-second A4 color capture. They emphasize its ease of use via four EZ buttons, Auto Scan, and direct cloud upload, positioning it as an ideal low-cost solution for home and small-office environments.
While direct user reviews are scarce in the data, the product description suggests everyday users appreciate its simplicity, compact footprint, and one-touch operation. The lack of an ADF and limited macOS support are noted as potential drawbacks for power users.
