Buyer's feedback: - * OK product for $100 ...
considering you are buy something thats under $100, its OK. its very low tech (manual insertion). The software is limited and the you cannot control the brightness of the light behind the film. The light just keeps adjusting brightness and you have to click accept when you like what you see. You'll use it for a half hour to learn your mistakes and then start over! If your doing more than a couple hundred slides you bought the wrong product or you'll have a new hobby! I would buy it again considering there's nothing else out there for the price.

Buyer's feedback: - 1 Star is too much!
I purchased this item from a local store for my father. We wanted to scan all of our old family slides and put them on a DVD for everyone at Christmas. We paid around $100 for this item. What an enormous waste of time and money.

The scanner itself was constructed to be quite sturdy. However, the software that came with it was extremely difficult, unclear and not user-friendly at all - even to people who are experienced with many different programs. The tray to place the slides in was very difficult to open and close and therefore, took a lot of time to load and unload. Also, very old slides from the 1960's scanned better than those from later dates and they changed from a rectangular design to a square one. This caused the later slides to be cut off on the edges. The converter automatically calibrates when first used. However, we never were able to figure out how to calibrate it again after that first time. We found the "calibrate" button, but it was grayed out and therefore not useable. After we scanned a number of slides, we noticed that they were not clear at all and also they all came out very washed out. Especially in photos that were light in color to begin with. We did figure out that if you scanned it immediately, it was better. However, the picture quality was poor at best. In short, save your money for one of the more expensive scanners that actually does the job - don't waste your time or money on this one.

Buyer's feedback: - * Not worth the money ...
I purchased this product hoping I could save my parents some money by scanning all their slides and negatives and saving them on CD. Having all the slides professionally converted was over $800. However, this was not the easiest manual to follow because it missed steps or my system didn't install it like it said it would. Once we finally got it up and running, we scanned a few pictures and they all came out the same way. The whole picture wasn't scanned correctly. The far left side of the picture was washed out as if light was getting into the scanner (we were in a pretty dark room). We checked and rechecked and scanned and rescanned, they all came out the same. The areas of the picture that did scan okay were pretty poor quality and really grainy looking. The negatives that we were testing with were developed just a few months ago, so they weren't old and worn. I had to take the product back because we couldn't even fix with the pictures in PhotoShop, the quality was too bad. The white-wash on the left side was unfixable, so the whole scan was useless.

Buyer's feedback: - JUNK!!!!
Bought this item to convert old slides for christmas gifts. The Scanner will scan for a few slides, then nothing!!!!! It too tow hours to scan 9 slides!!!! not worth the $$$$. What a piece of junk!!! Would have given it a half of star if I could.

Buyer's feedback: - * This is JUNK!!!!! ...
WARNING!!!!! I read the reviews and still thought I'd give this thing a try. This thing is JUNK!!!! Tried to use on both a VISTA and XP Machine. Could not get it to "aquire image" via software provided on either machine. Was able to get it to sort of work using the image caputure feature in XP. This is not a scanner. Its basically a digital camera inside a black box. You're just taking pictures of your slides. Image quality is horrible. JUNK JUNK JUNK. Not worth $100 or even $10. Useless JUNK. It goes back to the store tomorrow. The idea is great but this device is horrible! DO NOT BUY THIS!
