This scanner is fantastic! It handled 135mm and 110mm negatives with ease, scanning 300 of them without a hitch. The included brush was a lifesaver for keeping dust off the scan surface. Switching modes to transfer pictures to my PC was straightforward. The build quality is solid with a great finish. Highly recommend this product!
I’m going to blunt here – you can’t give a scanner/ viewer at this low price a 1 star rating. It’s obviously NOT a high-end viewer & you’re never going to get great clear image views at this price. I do own a very expensive, professional grade photo & negative scanner & it’s awesome, but also SLOW as it takes time to view the slides at their best quality. This is a really nifty, time-saving ‘triage first’ solution.
It is well priced & great for quickly viewing & picking favourites out of slides.
Processing old family photos/ negatives is a time-consuming chore & the cost of getting all the family photos developed was just astronomical. (Especially considering there are rolls of old family cars & flowers & something interesting in the sky my mother obviously thought was interesting in 1973). 😉
So, if you are looking for something that’s a one-stop shop – well go forth and spend ALOT more money. But, if you’re looking for something to help you quite quickly ‘sort through/ triage’ the stacks of old films, to select the ones you actually truly want developed – then this is a good product. I hope this has been helpful!
I found a pile of old negatives in a box recently so I got this viewer to assist me view them to establish what I’d like to have processed.
It has the convenience of powering via a USB source or the 4 included AA batteries.
Negatives feed in via the side of the unit and can be viewed under magnification on the screen. It works pretty well for what it is, i.e. a viewer only, and certainly beats holding negatives up to the light.
If all you need is a viewer then this is a good value option.
I recently got my hands on this 35mm Slide Viewer, and I’m thrilled to share my experience with you. What caught my eye was its ability to bring back nostalgic memories of my childhood, when I used to cherish our family photo albums.
This viewer is designed for ease of use, allowing me to quickly flip through my old 35mm film negatives and enjoy the vibrant colors and crisp details. The 3x magnification feature provides an impressive view, making it perfect for examining intricate details or reliving fond memories.
The backlighting system is a standout feature – bright, white, and evenly lit, it showcases every photo on the magnifying lens with precision. I was impressed by how well it handled my old negatives from the 90s, bringing back a flood of memories as I browsed through them.
One aspect that stands out is the viewer’s portability – it’s light enough to take on-the-go, making it an excellent companion for family gatherings or reunions. The fact that it comes with both batteries and a DC cable ensures you can power it up whenever you want.
While there might be some initial hesitation about using this device, I found it incredibly easy to use, especially compared to scanning every single photo. It’s an excellent way to quickly get a sense of what you have in your collection before deciding which ones to scan or digitize.
I’m extremely satisfied with my experience using this 35mm Slide Viewer. If you’re like me and cherish your old photos, I highly recommend giving it a try.
There is some confusion in the description; when ‘Medium’ model is selected, it seems to indicate that this is a scanner and not a viewer where it says, “Model name”.
I knew this when ordering so won’t knock it down, just be aware of what you’re buying.
Illumination was bright and even for checking what’s on each slide. The lens is made of glass and the whole viewer feels quite heavy. Unfortunately, there was dust and a small hair on the inside of the lens which would entail taking the whole thing apart to clean.
When the device was lightly shaken, something could be heard clunking around inside. I haven’t found out what it is, it’s not the batteries or lens. This leads me to believe that quality control isn’t up to the level it should be.
Having said all that, it does still work and if you’re after a cheapish way to view slides, it’s not that bad.
We have countless negatives that have piled up and been stored over the years so I wanted to try a machine like this out so view them again and sort them out. So far I think it’s done its job well.
It takes 4 AA batteries which are included (and very much appreciated) but it can also be powered via USB, however it has a not-so common barrel connector and the cable is very short, so we tend to just rely on using the batteries.
Inserting and keepin the slides in place can be a bit tricky, but it does actually do a good job at magnifying them and translating them to a bright, somewhat colourful and clear image.
The picture quality is quite good, perhaps slightly blurry around the edges and blown out due to how the magnification and backlighting works, but in general I was surprised in a good way at how simple the process was and the quality it produced. There isn’t really much else it can do other than just view slides, but it makes for a suitable device to sort all of these negatives out and to decide what we wanted to do with them too.
Just to be clear at the outset, the item I am reviewing is a slide/negative viewer. It is not, nor does the item page imply, that it is a film scanner allowing you to save images in a digital format as some reviews suggest. You will need a different and more expensive device to scan old film (or use one of the mobile phone apps designed to copy film/slides).
It was serendipitous to come across this just at a time when I had inherited a pile of old 35mm film negatives. It’s easy to use and brought to life old memories. The images are bright & clear. It is also going to be helpful when selecting old images to save digitally albeit this device doesn’t scan images.
I like that the viewer came with batteries but also a USB cable so t can be run off the mains or a power bank/laptop as needed.
35mm Slide Viewer, 3X Magnification and Desk Top LED Lighted Illuminated Viewing and Battery Operation-for 35mm Slides & Positive Film Negatives 4AA Batteries Included – 19.99
I inherited a lot of old photos and amongst them a lot of negatives as well. I have been scanning all the photos in so I could then just keep hard copies of the better ones. However I have been left with a pile of negatives that I can’t quite make out and am reluctant to dispose of or pay to develop without a closer look. This is a great tool to help me go through them and work out which ones may be worth getting developed. Its a decent size for the job and doesn’t take up too much space to store it away.
This 35mm Slide Viewer by Schoocoo offers a convenient way to revisit old slides and positive film strips. While the build quality is a bit basic, it delivers on its core functionalities.
Things I Liked
– Easy to Use: Loading slides and film strips is straightforward.
– Portable Design: Battery operation and a decent-sized screen make it easy to enjoy your slides anywhere.
– Even Backlight: The LED backlight provides consistent illumination for clear viewing.
– Push-Button Eject: This feature makes removing slides very easy compared to manual extraction.
– Battery Power: Batteries are included, as is a USB power cable.
The So-So’s
– Basic Build Quality: The plastic construction, including the plastic lens, feels on the budget side of things.
– Limited Brightness: The LED backlight could be a touch brighter for optimal viewing, and I would have liked to be able to adjust this manually.
Things I Didn’t Like
– Batteries: The supplied batteries are not rechargeable.
Advertisement Claims Examined
The advertised features are all accurate, with one exception: The viewer functions as described, with easy loading of the stated slide and film formats. It is portable with included batteries, has uniform brightness across the slide from the LED backlight, plus a convenient slide eject button. However, I would not describe this viewer as “sturdy and durable”, more budget-friendly.
Overall Sentiment
This 35mm Slide Viewer is a decent option for anyone looking for a user-friendly way to relive old memories. The easy operation, USB power option, battery portability, and clear viewing make it a worth a peek. However, if you want top-notch build quality or adjustable brightness, you might want to explore higher-end options.
The video goes into much more detail, including a demo of the unit in action.
However, in a nutshell:
Things I liked:
+ Super simple operation. Although I have only used this to digitise negatives, it is very, very straightforward to take the negative, feed it through the unit and then take a snapshot to be saved directly to an SD card. See the video for a demo of this.
+ There aren’t many controls, but this makes it quite straightforward to use. If you’re wanting a lot of control over fine-tuning the image, this might not be for you.
+ The design means it’s actually very fast to digitise large numbers of negatives.
+ You do get some control over the Red, Green, Blue colour balance as well as the brightness. But that’s about it.
Things I didn’t like:
– The build quality of the unit isn’t amazing feeling. For example, the buttons are very clicky and the unit is very lightweight. However, I haven’t had any problems with it.
– The quality of the digitised pictures is fine for my purposes. However, it is not a photo lab. When I compare the digital images that I got with the photos that were printed out from these negatives in a professional lab, the professional lab ones are obviously better.
– The photos that came out initially were quite dark and quite red. However, the controls on the unit allowed me to increase the green and blue and increase the brightness to maximum, which greatly increased the quality of the pictures that I was getting out of it. Any colour setting changes that you make are remembered for the next time you use it.
Do I recommend it?
Yes. I think you need to make sure your expectations are set appropriately though. This is not a digital photo lab. It is a very small unit that passes a light through a negative or slide to a fairly inexpensive sensor and takes a photo. It’s great for digitising images that you only have on film, negative or slide and enabling you to save the files so that you’ve got them whenever you want them on your phone, computer or cloud service of choice. However, if you are planning on printing these out, this is probably not going to be what you expect. You will probably have to spend a lot more on a more expensive unit. For my purposes, this is absolutely fine.
I bought this as I have lots of slides both 35mm and even more from an old 126 camera.
It works well without a computer using the SD card slot.
I was hoping that the slides could be fed right to left one after another, but with the thinner cardboard and plastic slides they ride up over each other. It works with the thicker plastic slides.
This awesome ShooCoo Slide & Negative Digital Film Scanner with Large 5″ LCD Screen comes well packaged in a box, supplied with everything you need to get started including the scanner, a cleaning brush to wipe dust from slides and negatives, USB cables, HDMI cables, power adapters, 110 negative film brackets, 110 positive film brackets, Super-8 clips, 135 film stents, and a booklet of full instructions.
I’m helping my grandfather work his way through digitising his collection of old family photos and this scanner has become an invaluable piece of kit as it means we can scan negatives of photos which have become faded, damaged or lost.
The scanner is easy to use and provides clear scan results in the form of JPGs, which can then be uploaded online for the rest of our family to enjoy. It has a 128MB built-in memory and can hold an SD card up to 128GB. Connecting the scanner via USB cable to your PC allows you to transfer the files easily and quickly.
There are controls on top of the scanner which allow you to manually control the brightness and saturation of your scanned photos, although the scanner does automatically optimise each scan but it is nice to be able to fine tune this yourself without the need for expensive photo software. The large screen makes this task a breeze to achieve as you can see your results in real time.
I highly recommend this scanner!
