What People Say

this scanner does a good job on slides, but it only will do 4 at a time, which is too few per scan when you have hundreds to do. from Buy.com this is my first photo scanner and it has worked quite well on prints, slides and negatives after a few hours of experimentation. from Compusa.com it has done a fine job of recovering good images even from films that will not lie flat, like my old small 110 negatives that are severely distorted from shrinkage of the sleeves used in processing from Compusa.com this is a great scanner when working with photos. from Tigerdirect.com works great for scanning negatives and slides for professional purposes as well as personal use. from Bhphotovideo.com easy to set up and use. from Bhphotovideo.com the quality is excellent, better than i expected. from Dell.com easy to set up. from Bhphotovideo.com reflective scans have been fast and very satisfactory - 35mm neg and slide scans have been good - with some tweaking in the acquire software - although contrasty chromes push its capabilities a bit. from Buy.com -great resolution, very good for film and slides. from Buy.com
