Works as Advertised
By Food Guy
Overall, works as advertised. I compared negative images I converted with this versus ones with a $300 flatbed scanner, and you could not tell the difference. If you are looking for an inexpensive way to preserve memories, this is the way to go. If you are looking to preserve "the shot" that would be published in Nat Geo, well, you probably would be looking for something better anyway ;-)
Pros:
- Doesn't require PC
- Easy to use
- Small and portable, can use it anywhere there is power (AC or USB)
- Immediate preview and control over image capture (brightness, etc)
- Less expensive than a flatbed scanner
Cons:
- Slow to use! Of course, you are capturing pictures 1 frame at a time, but only requires 2 clicks (c'mon people who complained). Image capture is about 3-5 sec.
- Colors not always perfect, but that goes with all systems. You can always adjust in some other photo editing software
- Tray port is always open, i.e. dust can be a problem. It comes with a cleaner "brush" which is good, but I would invest in some canned air and cotton gloves for handling negs/slides. This of course would be my recommendation for a scanner, as well though...
- Not much internal memory, but really, a cheap SD card is all you need

What You Pay For
By Mitch Stone
I'd been looking for a way to get my transparencies onto my computer for several years but could never bring myself to spend $400+ for a true slide scanner. As some have noted, this device is not a true scanner, it's essentially a digital camera in a box. It's small, it's plastic, and frankly it looks like a toy. That said, it works well enough if you are not very picky.
The resulting images are 3600x2400 pixels, which is not bad for computer or TV screen use, and might stand up to printing (have not tried this yet). My only complaint so far is that it crops images slightly on the left and right, and it tends to scan images too dark for my tastes. The latter can be adjusted fairly easily with a setting on the device. Nothing you can do about the former except be careful about what part of the image you allow to be cropped out. The images are also somewhat noisy. You will want to post process them in image adjustment software. I use iPhoto on a Mac, and that's more than good enough. When placed in USB mode, the device was recognized by iPhoto and downloaded like any other camera.
All in all, it may not be a $400 true slide scanner, but then you didn't pay that much.

Does it what it says
By Hollie Olson
Working well and super easy to use. A monkey could learn to save their photos in 2 seconds. I would like to recommend to the company to make a plastic tray for 110 Film. A LOT of my negatives are 110, but I was still able to make it work. I just have to crop out the extra space around the photos.
Worth the money for the laughs you get going through old photos you forgot about.
