Some difficulty installing drivers (had to consult Ion helpline). Product appears to work well on low contrast, slightly overexposed slides, less well on high contrast, underexposed slides, as expected at this price. Fine for viewing on computer, may not be sharp enough for digital projection.

At the time of writing I am still experimenting, however the product is relatively easy to use. Slides copy very well with good colour definition. Colour negatives copy less well and it seems difficult to get good colour reproduction when compared to prints of the same picture. However further experimentation may yeield better results. Overall very satisfied

Just loaded software and put in a few slides. No problems so far. The explanation for the loading of the software could have been clearer but I got there fairly quickly. My slides are nearly 40 years old so the colours have faded a bit on some of them and we're spoiled with the amazing quality of modern digital images but my old Canon SLR camera didn't do a bad job. Slide tray a bit fiddley but it does take plastic slide cases as well as card. Overall, a very good product I'd say.

The auto exposure adjustment grossly over-exposes. I can overcome by 'breaking-in' to the increasingly over-exposed sequence of scanning. The 'Troubleshooting' section suggests that I must be patient and wait for the scanner to complete its scan - if I did that, I'd have grossly overexposed scans of my slides. I suspect there is an adjustment somewhere and must 'phone for help. But, it is good value for money.

No doubt very suitable for many users with thin cardboard-mounted slides but the slide tray did not accomodate thicker Agfa frames, which mine mostly are.

Great little scanner for home use, could be improved if there were a switch for the light to make it brighter or dimmer according to the exposure of the slide/negative.
