comments: Canon is one of our preferred TWAIN vendors. The CanoScan flatbeds are unremarkable, but the DR series of office scanners are solidly built workhorses with top-notch TWAIN drivers, a pleasure to work with. Canon has been responsive to developer inquiries.
devices: DR-series, including the 3060, 3080C, 4580U, 5020, 5080C, 6080, 9080C
Series/Model Comments/Recommendation
DR-family Excellent scanners with a very solid common TWAIN driver. 
DR-1210C

We have no experience yet with this model.
Least expensive model in DR-family.
Flatbed + 35-page/12 ppm ADF. It uses a flourescent lamp instead of LEDs for light source, so will probably require warm-up, unlike the 2080C and 2050C.
