Michael, I used to have the HP S20 and now own the Minolta Scan Dual II. Of the two, I prefer the Minolta. Both scanners have benefited by using Hamrick's Vuescan software (www.hamrick.com) - especially with slides. Sorry I can't comment on the Canon. For me, one of the pluses to the Minolta was USB connection. I'm not sure what the Canon has. If it is SCSI and you are not already equipped for it, be prepared for an additional cost and possibly a bit of work to get it running.
