Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this unit for a very specific reason. I have thousands of old photos that probably would not benefit from a high res scan since they do not look all that great as pictures. Many are of family and pets and thus I would like to keep them and display them using my digital frame. The idea that I could scan pictures in on a table top without a computer was very appealing. When the unit arrived, I read the instructions. It tells you to use these clear plastic sleeves (one for 3x5 and another for 4x6) to scan your photos. Don't. These things are poorly designed and will either not catch properly on the unit causing numerous rescans or it will create lines on the photo. It tells you in the packaging that they are to protect your photo. Nonsense. I have scanned a lot of pictures without them and there has not been even a hint of a problem. Once I ditched the sleeves and scanned directly in to the unit, I was quite pleased. Just be aware that it crops a few mm's off your original. The final product is respectable. You get a 1.5 mega pixel jpeg for 3x5 and a 2 mega pixel jpeg for 4x6's. This is fine for displaying on a digital frame but hardly high enough resolution to do any real editing to or print enlargements. I have used up to 4 gig Utra II SD cards and they work fine. There is also a compact flash slot so you can make use of some old cards if they are sitting around. Bottom line, it works as advertised but the final product is hardly a comparison for even a low cost flat bed scanner.

Have Scanner, Will Travel Weighing in at a mere 8 oz, and measuring just 6.15"W x 1.8"H x 1.5"D, this scanner won't tie you down to one location. Scan your pics on the coffee table while you watch TV, or anywhere else in the home. Need to help a friend digitize their photographs? Take the PhotoLink with you on your next visit--it'll fit in a backpack. When it's not in use, tuck the scanner in a drawer, and you'll have space left over.
Easy Scanning There's no need to use a straightedge, the new twin roller system ensures that the photo is fed through the scanner evenly. This prevents the photo from being scanned crooked, creating a perfect digital image every time, and protecting your original from damage. To further protect your photos, Pandigital includes two different sizes of clear plastic protection sleeves.
Note that the PhotoLink is specifically designed to obtain the best scanning results with 3.5" x 5" and 4" x 6" photos, and business cards (1.5mm or thinner). Other source materials may cause the scanner to jam, or deliver unsatisfactory results.
