For best results you need to use a dedicated film/slide scanner, Nikons are
the best.
On the Canon 8800F, it is a flatbed scanner with a built-in light in the
lid. Although the scanner can do 4800 DPI, it is scanning (for 35mm film) a
one inch area of a 8 1/2 inch wide platen. The results will be a little
soft.
I have a Canon 8400F (an earlier model), it does OK for 35 mm, but I would
not use it from more that the
occasional scan for making a print.
