Hi Jeff,
I just picked up a LiDE 30 from Amazon, Canon is currently offering a $30 rebate on the LiDE models (at least in the US). If you have Photoshop you will be fine, since it seems to want to see that before installing properly into OSX. After that, you can use nearly any graphic program to do the import (it doesn't just create a file to the desktop). I currently use PhotoStudio for the scans.
I did download the latest driver from Canon rather than using the installer CD that came with the scanner. I also like the size, it's just barely bigger than my Tibook.

Hmmmm....I didn't know about the rebate but by the time I pay for shipping etc to Canada, it would probably work out to the same price as I got the other one.
I have to say though that I really liked the size of the LiDE scanners. I could probably fit one inside my powerbook case given the weight and size. I might end up getting one as a secondary scanner for traveling.
I had heard there was many problems with installing for OS X but since I have Photoshop, it sounds like this may be a non-issue.
How fast is it for 4 X 6 scans at higher resolutions - say 400-500 dpi ?
Thanks for your reply,
Amber
