Great bit of kit. Up and running straight out of the box.
Working my way through hundreds of slides and negs with a view to loading them all into one hard drive . It takes time but does the job
This is, although described as a “scanner”, actually a 5/10 Mp camera. It takes photos of a slide using a lens and sensor, and records in JPEG format to an SD memory card. Good, well exposed slides with low contrast and in good condtition copy well. The JPEG is 1.2 to 1.8 Mb in size. You can copy a lot of slides into a 32 Gb SD card. Tweaking of exposure in the copier is minimal (compared to a photo flatbed scanner). It will copy a lot of slides very quickly. Copying takes about 2-3 seconds for each slide – compared to my own flatbed scanner which can take up to 5 mins to scan a slide. It lost stars for the following reasons. It defaults to scanning negative film each time it is turned off and on. You have to go into the menu and change the scan type to slide film each time. The menu is fiddly and not easy to follow. The instruction book is only marginally useful. The view screen is not very good. It allows you to identify the picture – but not to see it in detail. On the plus side it is a lot cheaper than a flatbed scanner (about 1/3 the cost); it is very fast, and will prodiuce acceptable results from well exposed slides.
Easy to use. Does the job. Bit fiddly using the ‘Mounting slider’. Unexpected bonus was that I could also look at and copy prints from all my old negs. Down side is the menu system and having to make a series of selections for 35mm slides at the start of each session.
Great product, have been using it to scan my grandads old slides. Very easy to use
I bought this scanner to save my old transparencies on to a SD card. It took me some time to work out how to change the default setting which is for negative film. The printed instructions are of little help. But having finally succeeded, I find the device works well. The carrier holds four slides, but is quite tricky to open.
Wanted an easy way to view some old negatives I found and this little device worked perfectly. Easy to use, quality of scanned negatives was really good considering how old they were, and price cheaper than others. Order received promptly. Very happy with purchase.
Only halfway through my collection of negatives and slides going back to the sixties and so far I cannot fault this slide scanner. I know there are more expensive ones on the market but this one is ideal for going through a large collection to pick out the best ones for further work on. A great buy.
I got this for my Niece to help her with her art study at school. What can I say the pictures that are transferred from the negatives are very clear and sharp and it is really easy to transfer to your computer to print out etc. I would like to point out you will need to order a SD card to use this.
I does the job reasonably well . The resulting digital images could be improved with a photo editor after copying . To get better results , I would probably have to have paid 200 .
Others have said this before me, but the user manual is lousy. However, the product is intuitive enough to use and it was quick and easy to hook up to a TV while reviewing some old slides.
My first impressions weren’t good; the scanner connects to the TV/PC via an AV lead and the output quality was poor. The slides (when previewed live on screen) looked washed out and the screen swam with faint static. So I wasn’t expecting great things from the scanned images that had been saved to the SD card. Happily, however, the scans themselves were infinitely better than the previews on screen. When I plugged the SD card directly into the TV (and later, via an adapter into my PC), the images were excellent.
The scanning process itself is very quick and simple, and it’s worth pointing out that you don’t have to plug the scanner into the TV at all. The preview window works fine for choosing and reviewing the images. The scans are saved to the SD card so all it really needs is the power supply.
All in all, then, if you want a device that allows you use the TV/PC connection to run a live slideshow for your family, this isn’t going to be your best choice; the preview quality really isn’t good enough. You’d need to adopt a 2-stage process: scan first, then show the scans on screen. Do that, and the quality is fine.
On the other hand, if you just want to scan old slides quickly and to a decent resolution (5MB is the default) then this will very happily do the job, and at a reasonable price.
Used for reading 35mm negatives and downloading them to PC
Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the photos scanned.
Wanted to connect to an iMac but that didn’t work so used a memory card. (Make sure it’s a new memory card.)
If you are copying 35mm slides remember to set it up correctly so that it is not a negative image i.e. by selecting “Menu”, then “Capture”, them “Film Types”, then “Slides”.
Apart from that make sure there’s something interesting on TV ’cause it’s pretty time consuming if you have a lot of slides .
Arrived promptly, had some slides from my Mothers estate and needed to see quickly. Great little produc
Great product, bit fiddly putting the film in holder, ok once you get used to i
his unit is very good for the job in hand
Good product – came really promptly. Instruction manual could be better but I did work it out. Great to see my old slides on the laptop!
Worked straight of the box, I am not technically minded, but so easy to use, scanned 36 slides in about 10 minutes, took SD out, put into my laptop and stored them there, I also have a apple lighting SDcard reader so saved them to my wife’s iPad. This scanner was well worth the money.
Love this not all pictures come out OK but my negatives are quite old
Easy to use.
Using it to save 35mm negatives from 45 – 50 years ago in a digital form.
Worked straight from the box with very little effort. You don’t even need to read the manual.
Ideal for scanning in slides or negs, although the slide and neg holders are a bit awkward to open and close. Easy to operate. You need to insert an SD card in the back of the scanner, which isn’t made clear in the handbook
Used for copying slides. We liked its ease of use and the good results. Good value for money
Easy to set up and did just what I needed it to do.
Very easy and retrieved a lot of old slides we had forgotten abou
The plastic container were you put the negatives is very flimsy and falls appart quite easily. Also some negatives don’t fit in very well.
I haven’t had time to use the product properly yet i.e. haven’t saved negatives or slides to files. But to review my negatives, it does the job.
YES IT VERY GOOD JUST WHAT I WANTED IT DOSE THE JOB IT SAYS IT DOSE.
I bought this item for my father for Father’s Day, as he ha lots of old negatives, so,I haven’t seen it in use but very excited to see it work
Just what I wanted and at a very reasonable price. I’m not very tech savvy so very pleased that it so easy to use
at last if it does what it says it does.
Negative holder maddenly fiddle but otherwise not too bad – nice to see long forgotten pix
got it for my mum to get slides from 50/60s in format that she can use – excellent value for money and easy to use
Neat and competent. Does the job of archiving old slides but don’t expect professional quality.
Did exactly what I needed working perfectly and arrived on time. Many Thanks
Just the job: Easy to use, fairly good quality scans & quick.
Easy to use. Just plug in and insert SD card in the back and you’re good to go! Have tried using 35mm negatives and APS negatives. No problem so far!! Great item, would recommend. Image scan quality is high.
easy to use once i worked out how to set it up for slides
This has been so much fun looking at negatives from years ago
My slides are all 30/40 years old, taken with a cheap camera,& have a fair amount of wear &tear.
This Gaget is ideal for this situation.
It is compact, easy to setup,quick to use & the results ,when put thru a photoshop are pretty good
If you have slides more recent & taken with a high resolution camera you might want something a bit more sophisticated.
I have used the device over the last few weeks & copied on to my computer aprox.800 images, I am well satisfied as to value for money
Only quibble,cannot source extra slide tray
A simple to use unit that does the job. Using in a dusty area spoils it’s performance, once dust gets inside the unit it is hard to remove and will leave minute bright specks on reproductions. Make sure work area is spotless before even unpackaging this device. Arrived intact, on time.
This should probably be classed as an ‘impulse purchase’ as I was slightly drunk on Christmas Day and got tempted by that one click ordering thing! However, my only comment is wow! It is brilliant for the price, it displays the image from negatives, B+W or colour and also from slides. It has holders for both which are easy to load. It scans in excellent quality high res in no time with one button push. I did about 40 packets of film and three boxes of slides in the first hour and a half.
Excellent product. Done exactly what I needed it to do. Easy to use. Packaged well. Delivery quick. Customer service brill.
The slide trays are a bit fiddly to use but you very quickly get into a rhythm loading the negative strips. Images can be edited and flipped using a number of photo utilities and the SD card will retain the edits.
Bit fiddly to use, but after decoding the ‘instructions’, got acceptable results
I have a large number of slides to digitise. So far I have completed 150. Compared to using a flat bed scanner this is simplicity itself. Quick and easy to use and very acceptable results. Order with a memory card, not supplied, and scan as a stand alone unit then transfer to computer via supplied USB cable. So far very pleased with this item.
This is excellent. I have only used it so far to view old negatives, but it is so useful to know that I can scan them to an SD card and then save them on my computer as well. Very pleased.
does what it says, nice to see photos that were lost, thank you.
Excellent seller with the product quickly delivered. Easy to use with sound results.
Really pleased with this piece of kit, does what it says it will do and is easy to use. It will be a good job to get our slides on to memory cards and this is just what we needed.
with top surface controls and an adequate size viewing screen. The input slide/film holders are limited to the content they can
hold but are simply made of durable material. The accessories match what was expected for this economy purchase and my
use of SD cards in the past was a primary factor in choosing this product as I am able to transfer the SD card to another
portable device to view/delete before deciding to upload them to my laptop. My only reservation is the “User Manual” which
is not the most straightforward logical step by step instruction process, especially for this technophobe. But after fiddling
and deleting failures of copies of old colour slides (the reason for my purchase), I think I’m getting there…slowly!.
I was convinced the unit did not achieve a 10MP scan. Upon questioning the supplier the reply was that it is a 5MP unit with10MP ‘interpolation’. This apparently is a frequently used method by manufacturers utilising algorithms to create the additional detail for the 10MP ‘scan’. The unit still provides serviceable pictures from my slides though not as detailed as I was expecting.
It works quite well although as with any copying you tend to lose a little of the quality from the originals. I have transferred over 500 slides to an SD card which can now be viewed on the TV or computer.
Used this device to scan colour slides onto my computor in order to be able to print
photos from them. I am pleased with the results I have obtained. You should make it
clear in your advertising that the device only functions with an SD card, which is not
supplied. I also found the instructions very minimal and they need to be re-written in
good English! Otherwise pleased with my purchase.
Took 5 minutes to set up – a 4gb card gives you around 3000 photos set at 10 megapixel.
I processed 500 negatives and got them onto the laptop in just under an hour. Quality of shots is amazing considering some negatives are 40+ years old (digitalising late in laws negatives)
Brill idea to be able to share photos across the family more easily
Photo shared shows quality of a photo taken probably in the 70s / 80s
The team are very responsive and very professional. I recommend this product as it’s compact size save spaces at home.
Very simple tech and no set up software which is a bonus. I was using it for slides and the only comment I’d have is that the slide tray is a bit harder to open and close than it should be.
Prompt service and a good price for a good product.
Easy to use, does the job I purchased it for very well (rubbish instructions/translation).
hought I did this really easy to use great produc
Bought this as a gift for someone and they are very pleased with the results. Used to view and scan old negatives and works as expected.
It arrived as stated, well packaged and in excellent condition. I have only used this to view old 35mm negatives in the stand alone viewer to enable me to decide which ones to transfer to computer at a later date. It’s easy to load the negatives into the holder. The holders feel a bit flimsy, but as long as you handle it carefully, there should be no problem. I have volumes of negatives and slides belonging to my late father-in-law, as well as my own, to check before transferring to computer and printing copies. I can’t wait to see the finished results!
To rescue and relive memories lying dormant on transparencies and negatives this device is priceless! Whether you have few or hundreds of shots to process the results are guaranteed to bring smiles to faces. I read reviews before purchasing and agree that the instructions leave a lot to be desired. It is only with perseverance I managed to learn the process which gave delightful results to say the least! Once you manage to get the working sequence in order it is well worth it!
A simple and cheap way to capture your old slide and negatives. It basically takes a photo to and SD card. You can then import and play with the image with your own image manipulation software if you wish. Does the job well and they all seem well exposed by the machine. Tried BW and colour negatives and also colour slides of many different makes. They all worked fine. Can save as 5M or 10 M pixel and so files aren’t too large to be silly.
superb delivery 1 day ahead of the due date, going to have fun looking at old negatives thank you
very pleased but just found LIDL is selling today much cheaper. I don’t like this.
I have just bought this scanner for the purpose of scanning slides taken mainly in the 1960/70’s . The unit was compact and reasonably priced and had the capacity to scan up to four slides at a time. I also bought a memory card to go with it . I have scanned about 80 slides so far, and found it fairly easy. I need to improve my assessment of the contrast level needed for slides when scanning them especially where there are strong contrast levels in the colours on the slides and expect this will be a case of practice. I would have liked the instruction manual to be a bit more detailed . Overall I think the scanner suits my needs well
Manufacturer – get someone with a better knowledge of the unit and English language to re-write the User’s Manual
N.B .SD Card not SUPPLIED and was purchased separately.
Not had a chance to use it yet, seems adequate for my needs and was a good bargain.
Excellent value,quick operation and well made for the price.recommneded.
Useful piece of kit , however the slide carriage is a bit slow and fiddly to use.
A bit of a fiddle until you get used to it, but it does the job to my satisfaction in conjunction with “Paint”
Very good results in converting some old slides that belonged to my wife’s mother. They were starting to deteriorate but hopefully they are now saved and future generations can see their ancestors. No the easiest of instructions with the scanner but enough to get going and then it’s quite easy to use
At long last I can view and save photographs from a huge pile of negatives taken when I was a child. Original photos just seemed to have got lost somewhere. Delighted with this little compact item. The supplier was very communicative and although the first one didn’t work they were quick to send a new one so I am pleased with them too.
doesw exactly as it says. Customer service second to none, very well pleased
Good price and does a decent job, quick and easy to use so very happy with i
The slide carrier is a little cumbersome to open and the instructions could be more explicit.
However, it appears to perform the function for which it is intended.and is priced sensibly.
I have scanned 16 slides and have just another 4000 to process!

One star deducted because of this limitation and because the cartridges are difficult to open, making bulk scanning a rather tedious process. I have not tried other similar scanners so cannot comment on how well this fares with the competition or at its price point.
