Hiya,

I don't know anything about how the picture quality compares with other 
scanners, but there is one thing that I love about my Canon 650U...

It doesn't have a power supply.... it gets its power via USB.

The lack of cumbersome power supply means I can move it anywhere, to any Mac, 
anytime, without any hassles. Rather than take up a heap of desk space, it sits 
in a cupboard most of the time.

I just plug in the scanner, and scan. No restarts, no hassles.
