Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this item with the sole intention of scanning negatives. It came complete with everything I needed to do that. It also came with most other accessories you would need if you wanted to scan pictures or slides. The 3 trays for different picture sizes are good for the most common picture formats. I found it very easy to use and the onscreen menu is very straight forward once you get use to it.
To scan, you just push a button and that's it. It's essentially a small 5MP camera inside the box that takes a picture. It you are scanning negatives the scanner knows this because you slide a switch before you insert the negatives. The software in the scanner does a good job of reversing the negative automatically.
The problem was that the quality was just mediocre. One of the issues was when adjusting the brightness or contrast of the scanned image the center was always darker. Maybe a bad lens or CCD in the scanner. Another problem I had; to insure the film frame is perfectly centered there are notches in the negative tray that are securely locked in at each frame while you push the tray through. Well after about 100 pictures, whatever grabs those notches broke. So I had to be careful and hold the tray with one hand and make sure I didn't move while I captured the image.
This was frustrating. I tried to contact the manufacturer and got no response; unacceptable. So I contacted the seller, Slim Sharp, and got an immediate response. After a few e-mails, they e-mailed a shipping label and I returned it. After a few days we were refunded 100%. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the seller, and they always responded to our e-mails quickly and courteously.
This is a product with promise. It doesn't seem like it would take much to make it a winner. But right now I can't recommend it. If they come out with a higher quality version I would probably purchase it; especially from Slim Sharp.
