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

Very pleased with the scanner. I feel, however, that the slide holder could do with being a bit more "robust". It's not very easy to open and I think it could easily get broken. So far, so good.

I make a lot of domestic CDs & DVDs from old vinyl records & new mini camcorder tapes. I have converted from 35mm colour slides & super 8mm stereo film. Having travelled a lot I have hundreds of 35mm colour slides to put on disc. I used your unit today to make my first transfer & it seemed to work well. Only 799 more slides to go & I hope it can stand the pace. Your order & delivery service worked well & it seems like a well made piece of equipment, but time will tell. I have to say that so far your company has been a pleasure to work with & I appreciate your after sales interest. Not experienced with a lot of companys. So thanks for asking & I will let you know of any problems.

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.

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.
