(More customer reviews)This product did allow me to scan the family slides, but it did not live up to its description. First of all, the software did not work with Vista, even though it was supposed to work with up through Windows 7. It loaded OK, but then "could not find the scanner." There was no way to get manufacturer help: no links, no printed web address, and not even a telephone number. Finally I loaded the software into an older computer running on Windows XP. It worked, but it was touchy. Sometimes the screen would flicker or freeze entirely. It seemed to be helped by adjusting the display settings on my computer.
After scanning about four carousels of slides (several hundred), the rear flap of the scanner snapped leaving a dangling part inside the unit. I then had to watch very carefully to avoid catching the slide tray so that the tray would not become lodged partway in. At some point the flap came completely off.
Fortunately I had access to an XP computer, and the broken flap did not prevent me from finishing my project. I was not able to manipulate the photos as I had hoped, but at least my family memories are now digitized. If you have a computer running XP and your project is relatively small, the SVP-1200 might work out OK. Otherwise, you should probably consider something more user friendly and more durable.
