Canon CanoScan Lide 400 Slim
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Canon CanoScan LiDE 400 provides ultra-high 4800 × 4800 dpi resolution and rapid 8-second A4 scans via USB-C. Without an ADF and limited to USB connectivity, it serves home users and photographers needing high-detail flatbed scans.
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 editors consistently commend the LiDE 400 for its speed, high optical resolution, and user-friendly EZ button layout, noting that it delivers sharp scans quickly and includes useful image-enhancement tools, though they point out the lack of an ADF and limited macOS support as drawbacks.
Everyday users appreciate the scanner's compact footprint, quick scan times, and one-touch PDF creation, while recurring concerns revolve around the absence of wireless or batch-scan capabilities and occasional software compatibility issues on newer operating systems.
