Very usable film and slide scanner.
Scanned about 1000 slides and negatives in last week. Was able to pull out some almost non-existent images on ancient slides. Fairly easy to use. Had some jamming of paper mount slides in adapter. Minor annoyance.
The instruction book was not very well written or comprehensive. Most functions easy to figure out.
Power time out is bothersome. Haven't figured how to lengthen working time or disable time out.
Adding SD card helps extend time between dumps.
Photo quality good. Provides enough to clean up with Photoshop.
Liked this scanner and will use it a lot digitizing old negatives and slides.Read full review...

Small for Big Projects
I gave this a 5-star rating because it does what it's supposed to do -- there aren't a lot of products out there for scanning 126 slides, and those that are, work pretty much the same way. You can choose the resolution in the settings, either 14 MP or 22 MP, but there is a note that 126 film will scan at 16 MP (for which there is no setting, so I assume the 126 setting is automatic and is not adjustable).
It isn't difficult to operate, but it is very time consuming, as each slide is done individually. In my case, I am working with 50-year-old 126 slides that were often blue-ish -- each slide needed to be manually color adjusted before scanning (although the scanner maintains settings from slide to slide, so if you have a bunch of blue-ish slides you don't really need to adjust each one). I was surprised at the results I could get, though, with the manual color editing tools. See the pictures I have included of a straight scan (the slide was a very blue picture taken from an airplane), 2nd one using the on-board scanner adjustments, and the 3rd is using the PC auto-enhancer in the Photos app. The scanner really does a decent job in and of itself.
Also, the files are not huge. I'm using a 32 GB memory card. Scanning about 150 slides only used about 340 MB of space, so with 32 GB you will get literally thousands of pictures. It's perfect for what I need it to do -- I have my folks' slides from 70 years ago, and don't need to worry about a 3rd party losing them or damaging them. They're irreplaceable and I feel much more comfortable handling them myself, even if it is a time-consuming project.
Also does well with negatives -- better than with slides actually. I tried some 35mm late '70s negatives, and the resulting pictures are crystal clear -- the color much better than when they've already been processed. The little notches didn't catch at all, it felt like there was plenty of space and the strip slid easier than slides. I expected it would be a very delicate operation that would need to be done carefully to avoid scratches etc. but that was a non-issue -- never even came close to damaging anything. Also no color adjustments were needed when working directly with the negatives. Great fun going through all these memories!Read full review...

Very good slide scanner
Performs quite well. Works much better with a slide carrier that can let several slides through without reloading, an inexpensive attachment that came included with a lower resolution prior scanner I just retired from service.Read full review...

great little device to store slides
once set up the converter works great. You can get 22mp resolution which is a perfect way to store slides in digital format. I recommend this .

Great product at a solid price point
Was able to convert slides my father took many years ago.
Be prepared to crop and adjust photos when doing 35mm slides.
I have not figured out how to do super 8 movies stills yet.

Scans well.
Nice gadget. Scans look good. The biggest complaint is the screen on the device is small and low resolution.

old negatives to digital
screen is small enough , it makes it difficult to tell if the negative is flipped. But it still did what I wanted it to do.

The handiest way digitize old film and slides.
No scanner will give you picture perfect results, all require post processing of the scanned image, this one is no better or worse in providing a usable image than more expensive scanners. In post processing I achieved some amazing results from long faded film negatives and 35mm slides. At the time of this review I have scanned over 900 images. Note it won't fix a bad photo.Read full review...
